Thank you for sharing D Mann. I would like to encourage everyone to please take a moment and check out the Catch-A-Dream foundation and what they do for children and their families during these difficult times. It’s truly a dream come true for me to fish the Classic and I’d like to use this platform to make other people’s dreams come true. I believe this is something we can all get behind and support as outdoorsman!

New in the box Lowrance Structure Scan. Purchased new with my units but never installed. Found the same unit listed on Amazon for $399. I'd take $300 and meet someone around the Table Rock Lake or Northwest Arkansas area.

I was on Table Rock tonight. I'd say your dive buddies are right about the 27' in the mid-lake area on BSL.

Made a trip to Diamond City last weekend to dive and the thermocline was right around 20'. Made a quick recovery dive in the dam area on Table Rock this evening and the water was warm all the way to 20'. Didn't have a wetsuit on, so we didn't venture out to far, but it was getting cooler right past the 20' mark.

Good pic! Sounds like you guys had a great time!

I do a lot of fishing, especially from November to May, but I'd rather spend my time in July, August, and September below the service. Lots of cool stuff to see!

One location we dove was absolutely COVERED with Zebra Mussels. Millions of them littering the bottom.

Put in at Peel and went back toward Lead Hill to dive today. Vis is definitely better on Bull Shoals than Table Rock right now. Spent most of our time in the 30 to 40 ft range. Vis was decent down there like you had reported (10' to 12'), and maybe even better in a few spots?? We saw some walleye, bass and one carp, but nothing of any size. We did see lots of 3" to 5" bass in the 15' range on our first spot in the brush. We might have been to deep but I thought we'd see more fish than we did. Diving in the brush wasn't ideal so we backed out to 30+ to dive the edge of the brush line. Glad I took the wetsuit because the temp dropped around the 25ft mark and it was pretty cool down there! Wish I had more to report, but it was a short trip.

Good stuff, RPS. Thanks for sharing the link.

I'll keep you posted if we make it down. I've got a little boy myself and we may try to camp if we can find a spot.

Thanks for the info. Did they happen to say if they saw any flatheads?

I'm all about family myself, so no worries. Glad you had a good trip and enjoyed your time. We've been talking about making a trip down to spearfish at some point. If we do I'll post a report.

Have fun and enjoy your trip. I'd like to give it a shot in a couple of weeks if you have some good news to report on the vis.

Sounds good. What area are you diving?
