No Fish Story: Pump House Night Dive

Scott, Kim, Sly, Jeffy, Tracey and I made a night dive at the Pump House ( Marine Museum ) tonight. This was the second dive for the first four as they were at the Munson earlier.

We followed Mike's previously advertised direction of heading east from the Ahoy Rentals dock until we intersected the Wharf's west side, then made our way until we reached the Barge. We then headed N toward the shore and hit the railway trusses.

Some of us then headed west along the shore in order to exit at the West St Ramp. Along this route back we were treated with a steady flow of impressive fish. 6 pike slowly meandered in all directions and most only a few feet away. One virtually drifted right into me. One impressive walleye was spotted as well as one sheep's head and one carp. This stretch of shore is highly recommended for future night dives.

The water temperature was recorded to be 57 degrees but night dives always seem to feel colder so dress warm.

Sly and I were treated to the play of a few interested looking catfish on the exit at the West side of the steel wall.
