And the rains came and the water level will soon be too much?

        Hurricane Joaquin isn't here yet and the lake is rising!

Where will the bait be and where are the stripers?  Maybe ambient temp being 20 degrees below normal will get them into a seasonal pattern - schooling!

Looking down the ramp on 9/28/15, where's the water?


Note the mud along the left white seawall that follows the channel to the lake. 9/28/15



The water level on 9/28/15. 



The water level on 10/1/15, notice the level on the ramp and the proximity of the water to the bottom of the dock.



The photo below is the water level on 10/1/15.  The channel to the lake doesn't show any mud along the seawall.  Great!



I can hardly wait to take photos of the same area by Monday, 10/5/15 to see if the top of the seawall can still be seen. 

Most all of the emergency alerts are withdrawn and the lake water level is near identical on 10/2/15 as it was on the 1st of Oct.



Rockland Creek water is quite clear even with the continuing rain.  See the launch ramp below the surface.

What about Tim's on North Anna?


Yep. really old muddy!


So, where will he baits and striper schools go?

Well, on John Kerr, the baits and stripers  head for clean water, almost the mud line down river.   At the mouths of creeks that have clean water.  no rain in the forecast.  How long will the mud last?  Is it only surface, or how deep does it go .  .  .

Pete says they will go deep into the channels in Lake Anna.  Hmmm, is Friday Oct. 9 really a fish night?  

Working feaverously on the Bugz planer board lights.  Also giving my reels a Real Magic treatment and checking them twice.  WHOOPEE, A FISH AFTERNOON COMING.  Best not tell my love that I will be out after dark.  Hope Pete locates help for my boat.
