I saw a grey Yamaha 240 on Kerr lake at the Nutbush ramp today before the drizzle started in the evening. I waved while on the water and was going to say hi but lost track of where you were after loading up. Was that anyone on here or do I need to recruit a new member? I will be out again tomorrow so hopefully we will run into each other.

Our black AR240 was definitely not on Kerr Lake. Our reservations were cancelled due to Bullocksville being flooded.

Still sad we are not there for the weekend.

What are the conditions like with water level so high?

I saw that it is at 307 and rising still.

Sorry to hear that @Kennc. Water is definately high. I am on the south side of the bridge at Nutbush. Not sure if I could have fit under that bridge at normal level but the water is almost half way up the guardrails. Funny watching cars and motorcycles cross the road. Most of the water front sites here were washed out as well. Some friends had their site cancelled here. Other than sticks and leaves in the water it's not that bad. I just don't go too close to the edge since I don't know where the "normal" edge is.

Come on up for the day. We will be out there in a little bit.

Headed out on Monday via North Bend Ramp. Lake has peaked at 307.25' and should be heading down a bit tomorrow. We've had a lot of water this Spring. Hoping for a nice day tomorrow

Lots of twigs, branches and crap in the water today. Had to stop 6 times (more than all the times combined since I have owned the boat) to clear the pumps of twigs because of cavitation. Fun day other than that.
