NO FISHING THIS WEEKEND !! June 21st

Not for the lack of wanting; but a number of issues led Capt. Dave to this decision:

(*) There's STILL too much water to fish. As of today the lake level is 684.5, although the current level represents significant drop, it's back down to the level witness by Capt. Dave and Irwin on June 8th. ( As reported, it was too high then ).

(*) This is the weekend before Capt. Dave's daughter's 2 week trip to South Africa with the ICC. There are numerous loose ends to wrap up, and Capt. Dave's women have asked for his assistance.

(*) Capt. Dave has church duties Sunday morning, which further reduces the available fishing window.

Capt. Dave will keep a watchful eye on the lake levels, with the hope to return to fishin' next weekend June 28th.

You can watch the lake level's too:

Too Much Water To Fish

Yup, that's right... With waters more 22 feet above normal lake elevation and rising; closing all boat ramps save the state park ramp.

( BTW -- the ramp proper was totally submerged ).

The likelihood of unseen and damaging debris in the water; discretion is the better part of valor and we elected not to set sail today! ( Although I revisited that decision multiple times during the day ).

We made the best of it by locating the car wash in Rockville, and checked boating rules at Glenn Flint Lake.

Dog Gone

Wheezer decides to take an unplanned and unapproved sabbatical from the Taylor home; without leaving a forwarding address. The distraught family pulls out all the stops to locate their missing family member. Sunday evening the Good Samaritan who took Wheezer into their home, saw the billboard postings and returns Wheezer to his rightful owners.

Capt Dave is glad that Wheezer is back where he belongs.


However once again, NO FISHIN’ took place today!
