I know all the rain and snow everybody's havin' it's a PIA, but right now we'll take all ya got!!...

Damn Reel he's lucky he only got airborne! D

Ya know, I would cut the stump...but at this point they're sayin' it could drop to as far as 35' below full pool...that would mean another 12' of that thing'd be stickin' outta the water...

Keep in mind, when the lake is full the top of that thing is 15' below the surface...right now, it's better to be able to SEE the damm thing...

...and tsubaki...those Ambassador's are about all we use for live-baitin'...that day we caught several nice ones up to about 10-12 lbs

Dang REEL, I can't believe it is so dry there, we are back to normal here, just a 160 miles away.

Yep...weather dude was sayin' this mornin' that over the past 36 months we are 38" behind average rainfall for this area...they're referring to it as an "exceptional drought"...and it's pretty much affected a small area of upstate SC; Anderson, Greenville and Spartanburg counties...city of Anderson draws it's water from Lake Hartwell...recently stated they only haver 300 days left before they won't be able to draw any more water from the lake...

Last time I was at my folks house, Lake Cooley (sp?) looked pretty full, but maybe it was down some and I just didn't notice.
