No Wounded Warrior Festival on Jordan, but we did do some pre-fishing

[JordanLimit]

We were disappointed that the weather did not allow the Wounded Warriors Fishing Festival, but with Capp's tournament next weekend, we did not want to waste a day getting in some fishing. Obviously, the big news on Jordan is that on Sept. 25, the water level was 212.5. I just looked at the automated lake level on Jordan and it is a fraction from being at 218. Here's the weblink if you want to follow the lake level: To view recent flows and stages in the Cape Fear River Basin

As you can see from the picture, we found fish biting, but the wind kept us from fishing the main place we wanted to go. We went down near the S-curves at one time and there were some serious white caps and waves for Jordan. Thought I was down at Morehead City for a little bit.

This one went a little under 13". Same story as last week--find the shad and you will find crappie. We fished only minnows today. This is two Saturdays in a row that we have fished in rain and wind. It was also quite chilly out on the boat as you can tell by the way Charles is dressed.
