I suspect the Seminole county ramps will close within the week at the rate the river is rising. Good side is if the river will drop back down by September there should be some pretty fat and happy fish from feasting on the smorgasbord in the woods all summer.
The heavy rains we're getting in Brevard county today will soon be heading your way. Hopefully we don't receive any hurricane rains this year.
Its already getting here. Gigantic patches of floaters are on the lake.
I4 post bases are almost underwater. They were 2feet out of it a couple of weeks back.
The big problem is the DO it's 0.6 (Harney area)and it dipped to near 0 going to start seeing fish kills soon.
I've been launching at Highbanks and the docks are starting to go under water. Lowest ones are already under. I will be checking them tomorrow.
Seminole ramps are closed at I-4 as of yesterday afternoon.
Looks like we're going be getting more PM showers for the next few days. It's going to give the fish some "new" structure to hang out in for a while. Hope I don't have to start playing that "How High's the Water Pappa" song soon. lol
Five feet high and risen. DonQuote:

BOAT RAMP CLOSURES: The Office of Emergency Management has issued a Boating Advisory for the St. Johns River from the City of Sanford to the southern Seminole/Orange County line. Due to recent heavy rainfall, river water levels have swelled at Lake Harney and Lake Jessup. Levels are forecasted to swell at Lake Monroe by the weekend. Boaters are encouraged to use caution when operating on the St. Johns River by running at decreased speeds and staying mindful of debris, low bridge clearance, sandbars, docks and other objects that may no longer be visible due to above-average water levels.
Mullet Lake Park and Wayside Park boat ramps are currently closed due to dangerous conditions.
We got a couple of more inches this afternoon, It’ll becoming your way soon.
with all this high water in the river, I may have to take a few days off from the river and head over to the inter coastal to try for some summer shrimp or maybe some blue crabs.
