TBL Dam

[SLIM]

K, here is a short report about TBL at the DAM.

AIr temps were about 32-35 and wind chill about 20. Water temp is 41* at all depths from surface to 150'

Oh did I mention it was cold? Incase I did not, it was cold fo the last 5 minutes that was mandatory at the 20' stop on O2.

Vis is doing great. Had about 15+ all the way to 80 or 90 and then lost ambiant light and water was till clear with the lights.

Incase I forgot, did I mention the wtaer temps? 41* all the way down and up and it was cold, even with a DS and 5mm full gloves no finngers cut out.

Glad to hear the vis is improving.

Guess we are going to have to get dry gloves or give up this cold water stuff!

Shooting a bag while cold has to be a real treat.

Great news, thanks for the report.

Won't likely make it down there until DUI DOG Days in April, though.

same here. I havent dove TRL since 2007. I need to get back down there again. No telling what April weather will have in store for us.

Hey Slim...any updated conditions?

[SLIM]

Here is a report from Spoonbill, Poverty Pt, and Duck Island. Well, the water is warm above the thremo wich is about 25 foot, it clears up afer 40 and at 125 nice and clear.

Vis is no big deal to write home about. They started lowering Beaver in to us and we are running some out so it has the place stired up. They were lowering beaver 6 feet in like a 2 week period and it has just about stopped.

Wish I could have given better news but who knows what it might be like next week?

Thanks for the update. We plan to do most of our diving near Kimberling City next weekend. Have a couple pontoon boats based there. We most likely will come by your place for fills.

See ya,

Boy, I'd like to get down there with you all, but I will be making a trip up to Truman State to take Thing 1 back to school. We are going to have to get on the same schedule someday. But, I finally did drink your set down today. They should be in perfect shape to get Ken to put 32% in them for the following seeks trip.

?? I need air in that set when you're ready to return it. The next time I plan to use that set is for a deep dive in Cannonball.

Roger that. If you need them before Sept 5th when we return from NFL, I can probably get by with swapping you back for my 85s. They wouldn't put too much of a limit on things.

I can check with Ken and see if he has another set laying around if you want me to.

Not needed. We worked it out. Thanks, though.

okay. I'm just trying to debunk the rumors, and show I can be a nice guy once in a while...lol

[SLIM]

Oh DDB we know you are a nice guy. Oh hope to have a good report on RBD morow. Had some good dives but to be short, the habitat is up and staying up so far.

More to follow later

If it keeps raining like it did here today, I think RBD is going to be blown before too long. Hope I'm wrong.
