Unamed island protruding surface about 1/2 mile offshore from dam.
Outside Conditions: Partly/Cloudly Air temp 85
Surface temp: 83
Vis was approx 25' in water < 35 ft. Once below thermo or close to it, vis down to 5' or less.
Saw many bass, some good size some small stripers. some cats.
Interesting spot, some nice gentle slopes like a "Dougs Reef" as well as area on the North side of this island that had a wall that went DEEP. The water at wall went into blackness below. w/o a suit, I only made to about 53' where the water was colder than above , too cold me to stay to get a reading for more than about 2 mins. I am guessing about 75 though. The Thermos were interesting Monday as on one side of the island, they started at about 35' and on the wall side, we were able to get to about 45' before hittin the cold stuff. We located one section, in a canyon, were even at 48' it was cooler, but not drastic change as 3 feet deeper, making the Thermo at 51' !! Very strange, but was nice to get deeper and stay warm.
One strange note....as we played on the wall, from 35' to 50' found several really crevices and outcroppings. In one of these crevices, about 5' deep into the wall, I threw my light onto an approx 2-3 Ft Flathead. Big Boy just chillin' n the crack of the wall.

I HIGHLY recommend going on a Lake Pleasant Dive with them, aboard their boat. Check out their site, they are willing to go nearly ANY day of the week. Thank you Rob, Karen, and Aaron, can't wait to go out w/ you all again !
