Walked to LITTLE LAKE HARRIS and did a rough measure of the water level.
The water level is UP 8 Inches from Sunday morning.![]()

Now if they (SJWMD) would only let some of the flood level water, on the St John River, back up the tributaries and get the lake levels up.:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :D

I have a question for you guys.Is there any marinas on the chain that rent decent boats?We're coming down as well for the tournament. If a guy could rent a good setup, I wouldnt have to pull a 20 footer 1300 miles.Thanks PJ
Not sure about marinas, but there are boat rental places down there. Dead river marina is one that rents i believe. Would just google "boat rentals 34788" That is the easiest way I know to find out.

PS. I pull my Kenner about 18k miles a year, ask Shu, it ain't no canoe.....life of a traveler though.

Went and looked at Lake Harris, at the Venetian Gardens ramp, looking better bu still about 15" low by looking at the rub rail.
LCWA shows:
Lake Harris=61.51' -.99'
Laake Eustis=61.49', -.65'
Dusty, looks like your boat will float.--shu

Sure hope so Shu. Not gonna leave it here in Texas. May have to leave it on the trailer and build a wood john boat though to get back and forth to our island.

So, guess you guys are just going to have to have another hurricane , uh, excuse me, (Tropical storm) to get that 15 inches.
Now, they've closed all the lakes I fish to recreational activities LOL.
I can still put in at Hwy#50. I wanted to ride up there to Lake Harney and do a tour (boat) but they closed the dad-gummed hwy (#46). Hmmmmph !

Welup, it looks like it may just happen. Got a TD (going to be named Hanna if it does what they say) that is charted to head right for the east coast of florida. I keep asking the fisherman upstairs for "Just Rain". Hope he don't add too much wind to go along with it.
