West Boggs Water Level

[MikeAxsom]

Any of you guys that are planning to fish the tounament at Boggs this Saturday, the water level has gained a lot the past 24 hours. It is now up to about 2 feet below normal and raising pretty fast. It appear like it might be possible to get a boat bast the causeway now. With the rain forcast, iot is very possible the lelve will return to near normal by the weekend. Of course the water is muddy from all the run off.

Can you let us know friday afternoon how high it is

[MikeAxsom]

Sure, I'll do that in the AM

[MikeAxsom]

Wow! The water level here has come up another foot thru the day today. It's only about a foot below normal now.

To change the topic a little bit, but not much...

What does it cost at the gate to put a boat on Boggs now?

[kenny]

I think its 9 dollars to get in

[Chigger_Brumbalow]

Well,

It costs like $4 bucks to get in the park, even though you will just drive to the ramp, then $5 to ramp fee in.

Then you have...

Lake enhancement fee $6

Don't go on a weekend, because there are tournaments on the lake and its only 650 acres or so. And all the boats are on one point. LOL.

Bait, fuel, food are available outside the park. Enjoy your visit. Please come back again.

[MikeAxsom]

Kenny is correct.
The total is $9, same as last year. $4 gate fee and $5 boating fee. We don't care if you have that state permit or not. Of course your boat still have to be registered with BMV., but they don't share that money with us either.

I liked Chigger's version better though. I may have to hire him.

[GRR]

That was quick!

Is the water real muddy now?

[MikeAxsom]

The level is up to about 5 inches below normal today. This is pleanty to allow boats to get anyplace on the lake, including above the causeway. The water is muddy and has a lot of debris, so be careful.

[MikeAxsom]

Lake level now right at normal pool. At this rate I'd expect it to be a little above normal by Saturday monring's event.
