headed to fish the chocolate milk..wish me luck

Good luck Ranger. Talk about devotion. Has anybody heard of tornadoes or hi winds around I40 bridge. I'm down here in Texas and was wondering if I had a house to come home to.

Which Yoohoo will you be fishing?

Lake level as of 2:00 p.m. today is 585.88. That is almost a foot above normal. My guess is that even w/o any more rain, the lake will continue to rise for at least 3 or 4 more days. Does anyone know what the corps is forecasting?

As of today there is no scheduled water relase thru the dam.

They are generating through the power plant at 12200cfs and last inflow report was at 1 am today at 101000cfs. They are scheduled to generate around the clock.

I was in the same area Saturday playing around in my new "used" boat. We didn't have any minnows but caught some off the timber at 7-8ft deep. Was out more for a joy ride than to fish. I saw a carolina skiff spider-rigging, was that you?

Please allow me to answer that..........

YES!!

I am sorry to report I went to Crowder to fish Monday, bout drowned. Watched the black pvc cover I was fishing disappear under the rising water (4 inches in 2 hours). I did catch fish, but it was not worth it. I am 0-3 this year at eufaula. At some point my luck on this lake has to change.
