Table Rock Jellyfish

[aarchdale@coresleep.com]

Found an old harddrive in my attic and it had all my brothers old diving videos on it. Keep in mind this is in 2006 on a old waterproof camera. Quality is pretty poor, but this is definitely in Table Rock.  The size of the Jelly was about as big as a half dollar.

Ive never seen one diving but my dad said he has seen plenty back in the 80's when he used to dive a lot.

I had to upload it to YouTube because of the file type

Didn't know they were in the lake.  Pretty neat.

Very cool to know. I dont think i will be telling my daughter about your brothers find in the lake.

My daughter had her apple watch come off when she jumped from the diving bluff on Labor Day weekend.  I figure it's in about 95' of water.  Would you be able to see that if you were diving?  I'm not asking you to get it just wondering because I think you said its nearly pitch black that deep.

We occasionally receive reports of freshwater jellyfish in Bull Shoals Lake. 

Find more information about them at this link (click here).

Have seen these numerous times when fishing the  bridge abutments at Kimberling City, and there were many, but not recently.

Reading the link above it say that they reproduce sporadically which may explain why some years they are around and other years not.

Probably would need a light that deep. Ive only been down to 70' in the lakes and you could still see but it does get dark. Not much to see that deep in the lakes.

I recall seeing them years back in the St. Francis river drainage. I've not seen any in several years.

My brother and i kinda took a break from diving the last 4 years since we bot had kids. But next summer we plan on getting back to it, he already got a dive boat and i got a new camera. Hope to have some good footage next summer.. I think a lot of bass guys would like to see how bass set up in brush piles, and i think it would be fun to get some videos of different lures underwater
