Braddocks 6/9

[whaler1]

Solo trip from 7 to 930. 
Best water was 80-120 50 to 65 down. 
3 for 3 with a bow and two Kings. Larger King was mid teens 65 down on a paddle pulling meat. First trip with the new riggers and tracks which was pretty cool.

How is the channel right now? I read previously it was already very shallow?

[whaler1]

2.6 feet between the red and green cans.

It’s not a very large area. It’s also inside the break wall. My guess is the two marina owners will have to figure it out. 

[wallysackett]

Ouch!!

[whaler1]

Between the two marinas there are probably 200 boats. My guess is they will be dredging soon.

I've been blowing through there on plane the last couple of weeks.... the water level is still high but dropping like a rock, so will be idling out with the trim up until it gets dredged.

According to the USGS (United States Geological Survey), the level at Braddock Heights has gone down from a high of 247.52 ft on May 17 to the current level of 246.85 ft on June 10.  So a drop of 0.67 ft (or 8 inches) over a 24 day period.  So that's basically 1 inch per every 3 days over the last 3.5 weeks.

Since we have not had any measurable rain in 3 weeks I guess a little drop might have been expected.

Army Core of Engineers projection is for only a 3 inch decrease between now and July 9.

Hopefully the anticipated rain will help.

I think the IJC has different ideas!
