I will be there in the "Blue Moose".
If you have extra rods and reels Terry is always looking for them to give out to the Vets without any gear.
They don't have to be new, they have a guy that reworks them.
BigDwagg and Offish have given a bunch over the years, I've picked up a few on sale and plan to do the yard sale route for more now that I'm retired I have time
Last I heard Terry had given out over a thousand
I usualy do perty good there in the spring,Im going to have to do some research for the fall.Quote:

Lake Jordan,,three ft.over full at 5pm this afternoon,O.N.S. two weeks away.How much water will it hold?
Just checked the Army Corps website and yes, Jordan is up 3 feet and with all the rain in Alamance and Guilford Counties, it is sure to rise more. Some of the crappie will go up into the trees looking for food, but right now they are primarily feeding on shad, which means they are swimming around out in the coves. Because of the flooding down the Cape Fear River, they will keep the gates on the dam closed to a minimum flow until things return to normal downstream. Most likely we will be fishing with water higher than normal, so probably will be long-lining out in the coves.
That's what im thinking too,I know this lake can grow to about 24,000 acres,or up 10+ ft.I am just hopoing it's going to be back to reasonable by the 25th. or so.the lake IS all about flood control,and Wilmington needs all the help it can getQuote:

We caught 3 short fish and were the only ones who boated fish, so the tournament got switched to Harris. Can't remember exactly what the high water level was, maybe 22 feet above normal pool of 216.2. I remember it was just before running around the side of the dam & it was just about muddy enough to plow.

Just checked the Army Corps website and Jordan is at 223 (normal is 216) and still rising. The Haw River has not crested yet, so the lake will continue to rise. With a week and a half till we fish, hopefully it will have a chance to drop some.
8 PM + 10.5
If it going to be so high with dicks under water then why not move to Harris Lake?
I was wondering the same thing. Freddie drove down to Jordan today and ramps closed. He then went to Harris and no problems. They could still meet at the church near Farrington for dinner.
15.79 ft up at 4PM today,Im up for a move if possible.
