First the day started off scary and got worse. My daughter is driving and need to get so many hours in order to get her driers license. So she is driving me 3.5 hours north to WI. That is scary enough. About an hour north a 12 point buck trots across the road. She did good she got slowed down and did not hit the deer. But she did not keep looking and the 8 point that was following almost put it's rack in her door. Everything turned out fine. My 90cm gun has a reel, I may have been able to take the 8pt, he stood in the road for a bit after his near death experience. (Then he went back the way he came from!)
We met at
Jon's house. From there we ran the convoy to the Outlet to check it out. Vis looked a little low and there was no flow on the pipe either. So we headed across town. We went to
Jon's super secret entry point #32b on the Wisconsin Campus.
We got suited up with the cold wind blowing. The water looked cold. It was 50 degrees, so it was a little cold. We straggled into the water with a shotgun start. Everyone went their own ways. We were in 8ft - 12ft water.
Kalinux got his daughter and her new Diveskin wetsuit into the water. Her hands got cold and she stayed in the water 15min. The report was flooding gloves were the culprit.
As for fish, it was pretty much as expected. Once into the taller weeds we started seeing carp and drum. Also some bass, walleye and pike.
Whopperhead and
Jon found some pans at the end of the day, but let them be.
Kalinux came up empty, but
WreckRunner and I gave him our 2 carp and the one drum I shot.
Then it was the cold changing of the clothes, trying to get dry as quickly as possible! Then off to a nice warm lunch and some good conversation. I was not ready to leave! I was tired and ready for a nap, but not ready for my daughter to drive me home!
Good day of diving, I had a great time as usual.
