    Dove Two Cow and Castle twice last month. 5 hours total in the water. Deepest dive was 55', temps at 50f and vis ran from 15'-45'. We were spearfishing for Stripers but never saw any. All freediving. I rarely tank dive but I thought I would post a report as this is the best forum on the net for...

    Went out last Thursday with my Dad to chase some Stripers. The wind was blowing between 25-35mph, 2'-3' wind waves in the middle of the lake. We hugged the shore as good as we could and made it up to Humbug in 20 minutes. No good spots to anchor up so we moved SE and found a nice area where we...

    I think I saw you guys. I'm not to familiar with the regular dive boats at Pleasant but there was a big pontoon that came in near where myself and three of my kids were diving. It was Sat morning and we had a dive flag on the bow of the pontoon and I had one on my yellow float. We were...

    No limit on crawdads. Went out three weeks ago spearfishing again with 4 friends. Spent 7hrs in the water and never did find that elusive Striped Bass. Vis has really declined and we swam towards Honeymoon Cove from the harbor. We got over half way there and decided we were never going to...

    I dove Pleasant on the 10th with three friends my son and a friend’s son. The trip was a spearfishing trip for Stripers. Only one of us used a suit, a 3mm shorty and he was the only tank diver. Vis was great at an easy 35' in spots. This was my 8yr old sons first time spearfishing and...

    Salt River Diving

    Cindy on that day we didn't drift the river. We did dive the first good rapids and at the bridge. I went the previous week and 4 of us drifted the river and three in the group were on tanks. I was freediving and it was funny to see my friends take the rapids with all their scuba kit on. If you...

    Stripers at Lake Pleasant petition

    I went to the meeting. There was no opposition, all positive comments. I talked for a couple minutes about spearfishing while freediving and on scuba. After the meeting a couple of the G&F employees where very interested in spearing fish. And the best part is they told me where all the Striped...

    Stripers at Lake Pleasant petition

    Utah started allowing hunting of game fish around '00. They limit the bag limit of game fish taken to two a day and if this happened in AZ it would be OK with me. The reason behind the Stripers petition is to see how hunting fishing laws work. I plan to petition the state next year to make it...

He seemed optimistic as they don't want the Striper's to get af a foothold on the lake. A petition needs to be into Kirk...
