Great dives!

Last Sunday was a great day to be alive, with wonderful diving and a good friend to enjoy it with. Kevin, my dive buddy accompanied me on a couple of spearfishing dives on some old brush piles we have. Visibility, while not great, wasn’t bad at 8 to 12ft above the thermocline and 20ft below the therm. We brought in a striper, 6 walleye and a couple of bass. Our Mares Pnuematic guns were whacking and stacking. We let a couple of Blue Catfish in the 10 to 12 pound range live to see another day as it was late and didn’t want to fight cleaning them. The moss seems to be trying to come back a bit at this point, but i wouldn’t deem it troublesome for now. Fish are holding anywhere there is brush, season is open till March 15th, come get you some!

Strange spring

Howard — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 19:49:26 +0000

” In like a Lion, out like a lamb” If that is the correct phrase then maybe there is hope for the remainder of our spring.

Within the last few weeks we have been playing host to storm after storm, tornado, flood, you name it. Yesterday, April 25th multiple tornadoes touched down in the vicinity of Brady Mountain causing massive damage to trees, houses and loss of life. It may be days or weeks before some parts of this area get back to normal. Those that lost person or property our prayers are with you.

This storm system also brought a torrential amount of much needed rain all at once, which means – flooding. In one day alone Lake Ouachita rose almost 4 feet, and in that past 10 days it has risen 7+ feet. Area creeks and streams are flowing a much needed supply of water into the reservoir. With it, it is bringing a large volume of silt and debris. My expectation is that water clarity will be diminished within the next few days.

The good news is that we were still historically down on water levels, so this water is needed to make it through a long hot summer. A few days of murky water in the spring is a fair price to pay for higher water levels all summer long.

I am ready for the lamb part of the saying…. what about you?
