Lake Pleasant conditions

[Dive-aholic]

Dove Lake Pleasant yesterday. Just went out to do some reel work. Haven't had to mess with the reels since December and we're going to cave country in a couple of weeks.

Viz was about 20' at the beginning of the day. Then the storm that blew in during our 2nd dive cut it down to ZERO along with about 2-3 foot chop...yeah, in the lake! Temp was 75 deg the first 20'. It was so warm, we did a quick swim suit dive (that's when the storm came) before we left. There was a thermocline at 20' though that dropped the temp down to 64 deg. We hit that on our first dive in 7/5s, but didn't dip down below it on the 2nd dive. As long as the weather stays nice, we should have some good diving next week!

Hi everyone, Dove Pleasant Sunday 11th Scorpion bay, really nice dive, water temp was 77F+- with the Thermoclime at 25-26' where it dropped the temp quite a few degrees. Viz was around 10-12' in the shallows and it dropped down the deeper I went to around 5' so I stayed shallow and Dove for 90 minutes. Saw lots of fish: Carp, LargeMouth Bass, Catfish including one very large, also clouds of tinny bass an inch big or so which was quite a sight for the lake.
Keep Diving!!!

yeah, vis was pretty good above the thermoline... looks like the same fish you took a pic of

below it wasn't so great

below 45', it was a cool 59° .. had to take my hood & gloves off when we came up to 20' though, about 75° according to computer.

I guessed wrong..I didn't know it was you guys...thought it was the other two practicing.

How did you get your better half to the lake
