Maybe someone would like to come up with a better name for this site?
I anchored my boat in about 18 feet of water on top of the now submerged island. Dive time was about 29 minutes with a Max depth of 53 feet. Surface temperature I'm guessing was around 60 degrees + or -. Because the temperature readout on my computer lags a few minutes behind, it is difficult to report an exact bottom temp. The lowest temperature my computer read was 47f. I suspect that at my max depth is was very near 40 degrees..... but that's a guess.
I was sporting a 7 mil John & Jacket with hood. I didn't wear any gloves.... which is why I didn't push any deeper; my hands were pretty cold!
AS expected the thermocline was present and visible. It wasn't as "milky" as I've seen it, but it still had that quality. I ran into this at about 29 to 30 feet and was clear of the "milk" by 37 feet. Vis did improve below this TC. I see that I have neglected to report the Vis; I would estimate the Vis, above the thermocline, to be about 14 feet. Which IMO is GREAT for this time of year! Below the TC the Vis probably increased to around 20 feet.
Hey, I was happily surprised to find conditions so favorable!
Didn't see much of course. I played with some bass, baiting them in with a recently deceased crawfish I found. Man, they sure tore it up when I released it !!!!! Cheap entertainment... what can I say?!
