well yall I've got a 16ft bass tracker pf16 (stick steer) with a 25hp motor and i need to know 2 things

 

1.  which is better to fish with my boat 

2.  where i should launch

From my experience the Little Niangua is very shallow and would make it extremely difficult for that boat to get around. I've done well walking in from some of the access points though. Lots of rock bass and an occasional smallie. I know a lot of guys fish the Niangua but they use flat bottom jon boats and jet motors. It has good depth on portions of the river, but shallow riffles that would make it difficult with your boat. Granted I've only been on the river below bennett springs so I can't say what it's like upstream from there.
