West Neck Water Level Report

At 12:30 today, Charlie Bruggemann found the water at 2.3 feet, which is ever so slightly better than the 5 p.m. reading Justin Reese got yesterday. Charlie said while he was at West Neck he bumped into a guy from Chesapeake with a fiberglass Tracker who just was launching. He said the fella's trailer still was in the parking lot two hours later as he was heading home. Charlie handed him one of his cards while they were talking and also told him about my blog, so perhaps the fella will get in touch with one of us and let us know how he did today. If he does, I'll post an update to this blog item.

Charlie noted that the low water at West Neck still is muddy, with only 8 to 10 inches of visibility. He also passed me the following reports from additional sites he visited while out and about today:

Oakum Creek (Munden Point Park) - low, muddy, visibility 6 inches, floating trash.
Old Pungo Ferry Road - low, muddy, visibility 8 inches, but looking across to the oxbow, the water appeared cleaner coming from Albright's Creek.
Princess Anne Wildlife Management Area - low, muddy, visibility 6 inches, canal dredging in progress.
Mill Landing Road (Nanny Creek) - low, muddy, visibility 4 inches.
Beggars Bridge Creek - So low it's just mud flats.
