OK - So I missed the Crayfish...



After a late evening look at the usual dive spots on the Lake Ontario shoreline last night, I came to the conclusion that we're still about a week away from shore dives locally. So...... The options were; Gananoque again - bit of a drive, nothing exciting to see - or Brewer's Mills. With my burgeoning love of Crayfish in mind, the solution was simple - head North for Brewer's.

With only one other brave soul for company - did you all think the invitation to come out today was an April Fool's? - I spent about 50 minutes in water that has now reached about 42F (6C). Visibility was around 20-25 feet and there was no current noticeable. My regard for the humble Crayfish was rewarded with multiple sightings. The little blighters obviously like the upward temperature trend as much as we all do.

The only other sighting of note was a medium calibre live pistol round spotted near the exit point. Funny what people throw away.....
