Ten Pointer
In Piedmont, Morganton/Hickory area.
We were all geared up for a hunt this morning. Got to the boat ramp @ 5:40 and the water was so high, that the boat dock was bowed up, and the water was up in the boat ramp parking lot, about 30yds from the actual boat ramp.
We could easily see the current going under the bridge, and some white water, where it's usually calm.
USGS water data, @ the water gauge station about a couple miles up river, Normal river height at the Gauge is about 2.75" This morning @ 5:30 stated that the river level was at 8.35'. also on Friday at 6:30pm it was @ 13'.
It was supposed to be the maiden voyage for the 15' Gheenoe I just bought yesterday 'Used'. we were going to use a trolling motor.
However for safety's sake we canceled the hunt and went to breakfast instead.
