After the rain.....

[Joe Walsh]

With the WX forecasters calling for up 4 inches of rain, in some areas, any guesses on what it's going to do to the fishing and crabbing? Last year, crabbing shut down for the year, after a big rain, sure hope WX people are wrong, again...

I'm not sure what our totals were here in Chestertown but it sure did come down last night. Looking at some of the 11:00 news reports, I would think things are going to be screwed up for awhile. Sure hope I'm wrong. CCA Chestertown's first annual fishing tourney is this Saturday- Be there or be square!!

Sorry Marty, still 90% sure there is no "casting pool" at this event.

Department of Health Issues Emergency Closure for Cox Creek and Furnace Creek

August 13, 2014 – The Anne Arundel County Department of Health has ordered an emergency closing and posted signs warning against swimming and other direct water contact for Cox Creek and Furnace Creek in Glen Burnie, Maryland. The closings are due to sanitary sewer overflows that began Tuesday, August 12 from the Cox Creek Water Reclamation Facility (approximately 57,600 gallons) and the Cinder Cove Sewer Pumping Station (approximately 43,000 gallons).

The waterway closures will remain in effect until August 20.

The Department of Health advises people coming in contact with the affected water to wash well with soap and warm water immediately. Clothing should also be washed.

My guess is upper bay is a mess for a bit, both debris and tough fishing conditions with the muddy water. I'll be trailering down to Solomons this weekend most likely to fish Saturday and Sunday. Will probably try for Spanish and fool around with breaking fish if we find them. May run over to the eastern shore side and try the Honga area as well. Be safe out there anyone who fishes farther north with all the potential obstacles floating down.

Yeah, like 100K gallons of sewage!

You kinda have to wonder how many gallons REALLY were lost that they may have accidentally overlooked. Even if they are spot on, YUK!!!
