Does anyone know where I can get my hands on some Gopher Wood? Ain't that what Noah used to build the Ark? :confused:
The Animals are starting to pair up! Hope it's just a sign of mating season! :eek:
Ain't gonna be long and we're gonna be able to see over the tops of trees out here on the river banks.
Lower guage ar Cheatham is almost 400'. I personally have never seen it that high in my 30+ years on the river. That's about 40' of extra water.
Ought to save you some time not having to follow the rivers anymore. Just plot a straight course and go!:)
I was planning on bringing my son down for readears on fri ,now what ??
Shellcrackers like a firm bottom. I would suggest trying the parking lot at the Benton Walmart. :DQuote:

Hey Wiskers, hope you are staying dry.
I'd say you will be able to find some wood after all this rain.
I saw where KY Lake came up 4' that's alot of water for sure.
Hope all is well and everyone is staying safe across the state.
We launched straight off of the road yesterday afternoon and ran the boat across where we normally park. :eek:
The people fishing the road/parking lot fared a lot better than we did. We caught one small fish and watched them haul out 2 before getting out of the way so that I could put the trailer in the water.
Looks like the fish have moved all the way back into the mess already so you may need to take a chainsaw and weedeater with you to get your boat to where the fish are. The water wasn't nearly as muddy as I thought that it would be but I suspect that it will get there as soon as all of the flood water gets there. The lake was like a sheet of glass yesterday afternoon.
Predicting 367+ by wednesday! :eek::eek: Last spring water made it to 365 and it was way high....guess that's why they keep the winter pool low.

Here are a few Pic a buddy of mine that's on 1 of our boats took yesterday at our Nash. Sand Yard. This place is just minutes from downtown and about the same elevation.
That water must have come up really fast. No one there on the weekends to move those trucks to high ground? I thought we had it bad up here but nothing like that. I hope to be fishing again next weekend.
I was supposed to be coming down Sunday the 9th and staying until Sunday the 16th with a bunch of guys for bluegill and shellcrackers. Do you think it will be manageable by then or do we need to be trying to change our plans? We came down during may last year and the water was way up but I don't think it was anything like this.
If it were me, I would be changing plans.
They still don't know what or when the peak is going to be. There is a lot of water that has to come through both lakes all the way from the other end of the state as well as TN.
Depending on where you were staying, they may have flood damage themselves.
TVA is forecasting 368.6 Thursday. The expected inflow is down, but the outflow is being cut too. Probably to minimize the crest on the Ohio.
WOW....discharging 231,575 cfs right now!!:eek::eek:Quote:
