Level was 2.9 feet and barely could launch the boat a 12:30 pm. Had to be very carful navigating by myself upstream. I usually do not launch when below 3.0 feet. Caught 4 smallies on a white buzz bait......biggest was 13.5"......sorry, no pic. Got to get some rain if I/m going out there again...........

A white buzzer works good on days like today in the skinny water. 2.9 feet where? It is below 1.5 feet at POR, which is the closest USGS guage I know of. I broke my motor when it was a little lower than this.

John usually looks at the little falls gauge
POR is at 1.2

I really want to get out on the river to test the 3.5 outboard I got for my kayak. It was low the last time I was out there on the 13th, but it's even lower than that now. Probably more effort than I really want to bother with to get down Goose Creek into the river.
I did catch a bunch of fish though and the bite was picking up. I had to leave them biting so I could get back to Kepheart before dark.

50 HP prop Yamaha. Got to trim it all the way up and watch the water very closely. Knocked out a lower unit 20 years ago on a rock that was never there before . Most of the water was around 2 feet from Algonkian up to the end of the second island. Fish I caught were near grass next to deeper water.

Thx
I killed a lower unit running up from Algonkian about 10 years ago.

Debated whether to post this Wednesday and didn't. Might as well now...............
Missed a huge NSH in one of the grass beds on the MD side. Definately a NSH that hit and missed my buzzbait. I estimated it at 12+ lbs. Cast to it dozens of times after the miss and just could not get it to hit again. Was thinking about a NSH pic at the Algonkian Park sign .

That is scary! Makes sense that they could thrive in that section though...
