cannonball '09

Dove cannonball yesterday(4-17-09) with highflow diver(Kal). We went in from the bank, used a diver down float for our down line , and tied off our primary to our anchor weight. Encountered and removed much fishing line and hooks. Flow at the entrance was incredible, much stronger than when I was there in Dec. '08. After fighting our way in and catching our breath at the cannonballs, made it to only 400' before hitting my sixth. Cave vis was around twenty feet and temp. was 55 degrees F. Lake temp. was only 46. Great dive, lot of work though. Darren

FWIW, Cannonball is in Missouri.

But where the heck is Missouri!? :smt102 It was a nice dive though. I
can't decide which was the toughest, humping those doubles up the hill
or trying to get through the restriction. Either way, it was one heck of
a work out and I can't wait to do it again! And Mr. Wilson, I promise, we will have all of those nasty fish hooks cleared out before the convention.

Thats about normal for this time of the year. So many fish in that are with the warmer water coming out of the cave then the lake.

With all the rain that are has gotten I figured the flow would be up about what you described.

Sounds about like the conditions would be what I expected them to be.

Besides Rubi or Cannon!? I am available Sat or Sun. PLEASE let me in!!!

Kal

We are in Branson this weekend

Your such tease Ed.

Hey Ed, if you let me in on the new cave I promise I will only
win 2 or 3 items at the next mini.:smt079

well if highflow diver is bidding to keep quiet on his winning tickets at the mini (and agrees to buy at least as many as he did last mini), then I bid $50.00 bucks outright. I'll pay $50.00 for a guided dive. let the bidding wars begin! Ed, your knowledge may be a cash cow!

(is this ethical? can discoverers sell their knowledge and guide services online? is doing so an ethical question?)

Here we go! I was in need of a couple of RG-3500s and more
expensive gear,,,hmmm, what 'ethical' shop might I get that
from?? I'm going to do Cannonball this friday again, anybody
else in? Think there will be any flow after all this rain?:roll:

Bet you will have fun if you can get in. The rains have gone all over that area and I bet you will have to work harder then before to get in if you can make it in.
