I see references to this and warnings about crew boat wakes when fishing there. Where is it?

Both are right.

Is the jump a no wake zone? Was put that way about 12 years ago unless they changed it.

On a side note. Right at that point of the two, if the river is real low in Sept, nice trout stack up there.

I've never seen a crew boat on plane in the jump. I don't think it's posted no wake zone, and small boats usually stay on plane

Not a no wake zone. Crew boats wakes never bother me, but the loaded tankers with 3-4' rollers do in the river.

Crew boats are generally dead slow around the jump, especially if the Coast Guard is patrolling.

Recreational boats are usually not, which can be a problem especially the skiffs and jon boats.

I'll go wide and cautious entering the river, until I see what's coming up river and coming down.

When someone runs down river without both, they taking a chance of spending a couple days down river.

I think about all those times I fished the second spillway in my 15’ Duracraft bass boat with a 50 Mercury and wonder WTF I was thinking.
