Gary Anderson, right, and Shot Adams arrive at City Front Sunday after two days of fishing at a camp on Kings Point Island. The camp is 11 feet off the ground, so they’re safe as the Mississippi River rises in the spring, as it is now. “That water’s got to come,” Anderson said of the water dumped here by northern melts and storms. The two men brought home about 1,500 pounds of fish. The Mississippi River at Vicksburg this morning was 45.6 feet, up a half-foot from Sunday. Flood stage at Vicksburg is 43 feet.
