Travis Tec divers finding new stuff?

[ms mirth]

Guess I'm a dork - LOL

That windy point website has the 681 number in the "how deep is the cool stuff" calculator. I didn't ever put together that it was relative to sea level - I just figured the lake was really really deep (not *that* deep, but deeper than 170)

There goes my street cred!



Nice to hear there's some light in the pecan trees - last time I was there the light died and there was a thermocline just as you reached them. If I were superstitious I would have taken it as A Sign to get out while the gettin' was good.

do fish move up and down with the water level? -> do fish stake out territory and move only under duress or do they tend to hang out at a particular water depth?

Hmmmmmm....aren't some fish more territorial than others (and less likely to move?). If I were a fish I'd be wherever I could catch my next meal (actually, that pretty much sums up my existance as a human too...).

So with levels at Travis this low and rec divers getting to go where tec divers generally hang out, what sort of coolness are tec divers finding that used to be out of reach?

The lake is only 180ft. deep at normal elev., we are finding a savings in bottom and deco 'gas' fill money!

I believe I may have found a gold laden Spanish Gallion off the coast of Windy Point - hard to tell for sure with only touch contact. It may have just been some trees, rocks, and fishing line...

Try a little more helium next time !
