Lake Travis Dive Report

[Jay_SMART_Diver]

Dove Barstow's Windy Point, Lake Travis, Austin, on Tuesday afternoon. Partly cloudy with a slight breeze. Outside Temp about 74 degrees around 2pm. Visibility 5-7 feet ambient light really dropped around 50 feet, due to clouds. Temp at 50 feet was 72 degrees, dove a 3 mil farmer john with gloves and boots was comfortable. Went back up and started hopping the platforms around 30-35 feet light was better. The larger catfish were coming around for Hot dog time. Got one good 40 min dive in max depth 52 ft. Big decrease in vis from three weeks ago.

How big were the catfish? Did you get any of those monster Pilodictus? Any crappie hanging around? They like it cold.

Tons of Perch as usual, the bigger cats were coming up at over a foot and a half and about 4" accross their head, not huge, but good eatin' size...
