Richerso and I were out there today ( Sat 31st ) and did a couple of dives near the Shark and then down to near the Silos. TexDiveGuy even showed up !
The water was only 50 degrees and the fish and turtles were in force so don't worry about it being too cold on New Years Day. Ya'll have fun !!

Richard,
You do have a good point. There are many shops in the DFW area that have closed as well.
However, I do feel that I am supporting a local diving location. That is why I am going to PK and paying $20. If I take my boat I can dive pretty much anywhere on the lake for free. (I just don't want the hassle of a boat this time).
There are several local Scuba Parks/locations that on can take business to (PK, CSSP, Athens Scuba Park, Lake Whitney, Windy Point) So this is my way of protesting against CSSP's high prices and marginal service. I am out at CSSP a lot throughout the year either diving or teaching classes, so I do support CSSP. I would love to take my wife and kids out, but to pay a bunch of money to sit around on the hot shoreline and not be able to get into the water, doesn't seem like good value. (no swimming, I am sure this is somewhat related to an insurance policy somewhere) Unfortunately the conditions at PK are not as consistent as CSSP and sometimes you get really crappy diving, but when conditions are good, it is a much better value and much less restrictive for a family with multiple activities.
Here is the link to the Fishing Reports.

Just click on one of the regions on the map and it will give the lakes for that area and the weekly fishing report.
Thanks,
Randy

keep those stiches dry, the lakes will be there all year. but the way the water levels are dropping they might be dried up.
