PLEASANT LAKE - FreediveWI - 04-26-2003
Pleasant lake is considered oneof the cleantest lakes in the southern part of the state- according to LAKESAT.ORG so my buddy, Ted, and I decided totry it out today. We swam all the way around the lake and did a bit of spearfishing along the way. We werein the 54 degree water for a bit more than 4 hours and had a great time- plus got some nice fish.
The lake has limited public access and is only 30'. Lots of nice weeds and fish everywhere. She also dosn't allow boat speeds over 5 miles per hour and we acutally only saw one boat, a canoe, the entire time we were out.

While we were there I decided to try out the PANORAMIC feature of my new digital camera.

I even had enough vis to take some underwater panoramas.
They aren't great, but they'll get better once I get out on Lake Michigan for some real vis. 8)

Ted even got a shot of me. THis is pretty rare for me to actually be IN a picutre instead of taking all of them.

Here's another shot of Ted stalking crappie around a fish crib.

And a better shot of the crib.

Where is Pleasant Lake and how do you get there? Looks like some fun diving.
Love to play with the fish and eat them.

It's near Lake Geneva in Walworth county. Check out LAKESAT.ORG's website. It is a satellite map of the clearest lakes across the state. I cross referenced all of the dark blue lakes with mapquest and found some really nice spots to dive this summer.
One lake that I want to get onto, and haven't dove for almost 25 years, has no public access. It comes up as a dark blue lake on LAKESAT's website which means that it is one of the clearest. The lake is in Oconomowoc and is called Florence Lake. Anyone know how I can get on her- short of renting a heliocopter? ;D
There are other lakes that I plan on hitting this summer that I can't talk about just yet.

Hey that lakesat.org website is cool. I found a bunch of lakes near me in the St. Croix county. How well do the dark blue lakes on the map translate into reality? I noticed a larger lake called Bass Lake about ten miles from Perch lake, one of my frequent dive spots.
Re:PLEASANT LAKE - FreediveWI - 04-28-2003
They match up very closely from all of the lakes that I have dove in.
If you can find a purple lake, and there are less than 5 in the whole state, you've hit the jack pot. My dive buddy did a reasearch project on one of them in college, he's a fish biologist, and said the vis was as good as the ocean.
