Loved the dive man! You're not kidding about the water clarity. Absolutely beautiful. Some neat finds for sure. Ive made a number of grappling hooks like that to try and rescue sunken ladders and what not in the lake back in the day hahaha. Cheers!
Sportclay 1.... Wish they would of had shot the pesky gull that shit on me at Huntington Beach...the SOB hit the inside of my lens in my sunglasses while I was wearing them and knocked em half off my face! ....yeah I shit you nought! Pun intended 😂😂😂😂! Eric Underwood class of 81 Downey High School California
@@ocpd23 I am in Sacramento. I have looked at a few places and they have different designs then those ones. I will have to look online and see what they have. Thank you.
Mark, I do believe you were enjoying playing with the fish! Thank you for another "funtastic" underwater adventure, I really enjoy going along on these diving excursions with you!
I believe that arrow was actually a hunting tip for water fowl. I have also seen them used Pheasant and turkey hunting. It's called a shock point I believe. Designed to not penetrate straight through and become a hazard, as you are shooting into the air most of the time. 😎✌️
I am envious of the places that you get to dive. The lakes that I dive in have at least a 6 to 12 inch layer of muck on the bottom. Very rarely do I find stuff just resting on top, but I do find several things with my metal detector. Although usually they are just rusty beer cans.
mokpot I live 15 miles inland from the west coast of Michigan, middle of the state (North/South). The rivers here tend to be about 30 yards wide with lots of snags ( trees that have fallen into the river, but still attached to the river bank on one end). The northern part of the lower peninsula has several shipwrecks, but they tend to be nearly out of range for sport divers.
That is nice and clear! Thanks for taking us along and thanks also for cleaning up that beautiful lake 👍 Those bugs were just thankful that you set them free BTW. How else are they supposed to express their gratitude 😄
With all the tools that you found I can imagine a scenario that someone was on a boat and capsized. Might want to go back with your detector and you might just find a whole lot more. Yes, ACTIVE used traps are one thing but escaped traps are death traps. Maybe someone in power can mandate a latch item that will decay within a couple days? No, I would not drink that water directly but would make a bush filter. Good hunt Mark.
William Baker the lake is considered Potable... as for mandating latches... this is California, in the 50,00 pages or regulations regarding hunting crawdads... it might say that.
Actually if I recall it’s a snow melt lake which is filtered from the moss above and actually when fresh water is that blue!! You can actually drink it
That arrow head is made for hunting birds. The wire loops add surface area to hit birds in fight “easier” still incredibly difficult to hit a bird in flight with an arrow.
Very cool. What a beautiful dive. Some nice tools for the toolbox. Glad to see you get those traps pulled out. I've never seen an arrow like that. The crayfish tug of war was neat to watch. Thanks for sharing your dive. Good luck, happy hunting and take care.
Great video! Can you dive Eagle lake? ( up the trail by Emerald Bay) I mean is it even allowed. That would be cool!! Nice rayban find!! And roach clip! Hahaha
awesome dive! quite a variety of finds too. next thing you'll have to find is a toolbox to keep your new tools in, lol. and those little critters there look harmless enough, but i don't think i want to play tug of war with some of the lobsters i see here in my waters, they're big and mean around these parts, LOL. will be looking forward to your next dive! Pete
Beautiful water looks like its spring fed .Thought you were going to have a tool set there the way you were finding them great place nice dive thanks Mark
I've dived places in England so full of crap it's difficult to submerge, 😂nice lake the videos keeping me going until Saturday when I'll be in the water 💦😊
I don’t think anyone has dived Gold lake, But IF your into CLASSIC 80’s sunglasses There a par of Oakley Razors that are neon yellow with iridium lens and the earpieces are hot pink,also 2 pairs of oakley frog skins
@@garystevens1044 I dived below the diversion dam at Thermalito when the Salmon were spawning... th-cam.com/video/BI63bwY_duc/w-d-xo.html An early video, you can mute the music.
We need a gofundme to get you a Paralenz. Your dives are ones depth and temperature would be some neat information for your viewers. 😎 Keep up the cool dive videos sir!
Another clean like this is Center Hill Lake in Tennessee. Old Hickory lake was in our back yard. Water in it is very murky. We would pull our boat from it and while at Center Hill, scrub the bottom of the boat off. Super clear water. Not sure how it is theses days, this was late 70’s early 80’s.
Hey Brother ! I use to watch you all the time. My old table got attacked and had to get a new one. Lost everything. Dann and I are good friends. He got me back in your channel. Now subscribed again! Awesome finds! The tools are expensive and fantastic scores. Man I could use that beater or one of those traps, lol ! Take care and stay safe. Thanks
The vis in this lake is A+. I've always wondered how old the dead trees are on the bottom, decades and or hundreds of years old possibly? Grabbed a new wrist wrap around dive light today for those nooks and cranny's withing the rocks I come across. Hoping to get some great video footage of fish hiding out during the day within the rocks. Cmon spring time!!!!
@@mokpot Glad to hear that. I plan on scooting around in the lakes thanx to your videos I've watched of you doing so. I figure it will save quite a bit on expending energy with flutter kicking around only in the lakes. I'm a bit concerned with the rapid ascents and descents with a scooter but I definitely plan on taking it all one safe step atta time to get use to using this type of tech that I've never used before in all my years of diving. If you got any tips I'm all ears.
Love all the videos mokpot. Thank you for sharing. Two questions: 1. Do you use a dive buoy or marker and if so, what style? 2. When you scoot to a site like a wharf, do you anchor/park the DPV, or pull it along while you treasure hunt? Thank you again for all of your efforts sir!
I always keep the DPV tethered to me unless, soetimes when I am metal detecting... Dive bouy..? When I am Kayak diving in a reasonable shallow waterway , yes. otherwise no, it becomes an entaglement issue. When I dont bouy, I carry a surface Marker Bouy...or SMB which I will deploy should I need to surface away from shore
mokpot Thanks mok. I imagined those were the best practices, but I wanted to check with the experienced person. Thank you for the reply! 👍 All the best. -m
Hi Tina, this lake has trees standing over 100 feet deep, the area had a severe drought about 500 years ago. Cuttings from the trees revealed they still smelled like fresh cut wood. The water is cold at depth, I imagine the pine cones might be preserved as well... But I will try to remember to grab a few next time.
Congrats. You really do a good job. I love clean lakes. I think all of us we should do our part to keep our lakes clean. Question: what lake is this? Thanks. Keep up the good work.
Curious, do you use a buoy when you surface to alert boats that you’re below? Diving on a lake with boats seems very hazardous to me and I’m curious to know how you keep yourself safe. Thanks
Towing a bouy using a DPV is a serious entanglement hazard, and the abrupt stops are unnerving. I have done it and spent more time untangling it from trees and other things than I did diving. I carry a deployable Surface Marker Bouy in case I end up sufaced.
Thanks for the idea, I put it on my list... the 5 hour drive time is a little intimidating for a day trip. I will have to work it into a multiday adventure
@@mokpot yes you left it next to a rock when you 1st went in and it was a green colour then later you found a red n black one have a look at yr video n youll see wat i mean lol
Are you not scared doing this? I know a shark isn’t coming but I would be constantly looking over my shoulder I guess out of paranoia. Is this relaxing to you or are you ever freaked out?
Hi Callie, I am not frightened at all diving here, but in all honesty when I dive deeper, say to around 100 feet or so it gets a little dark and, it is very cold, about like cold water from the refrigerator. When it is dark and cold it can seem a little creepy, but even that is kind of cool! I have been startled by fish and even rocks and logs, lol when I did not see them until the last moment. But overall I find scuba diving t be very relaxing. Thanks so much for taking time to comment!
Loved the minnows ! My heart broke when I saw all those crayfish in that loose trap...your timing was perfect for them! Love your videos...
Yeah I hate seeing wildlife die needlessly.
That lake is even more beautiful when u were done!
I really love your lake dives. Thank you for posting them for us.
Sure thing Jewell, thanks for watching
Great dive. Love the schools of fish! Nothing like a tug-a-war with a crayfish! Enjoyed your video as usual!

Здравствуй далёкий друг , каждый раз интиресные видео и конечно же находки . Удачи Тебе и конечно же здоровья .
Great dive as always,some nice finds.the arrow tip is for shooting birds,your right about the lake it sure is clear such a great dive spot
There ya go again, being the crawdad whisperer. 🤣 Thank you for removing those traps, people need to be more responsible with those!! Nice dive!
hi Nana Sometimes stuff happens...
Nice! Thanks for sharing
Wow beautiful schole of fish! And then a chair? Looked surreal!
Some times it is surreal... wth moments!
You hammered that dive 🤭.
Randolph Relic Recovery lol
Another great dive! Props for the loose traps and the tug a war.
Wow... that was a nice lake. Looked like a great day for a dive ! :)
jane dow that would be every day!
Yay, you saved lives today!!! So glad you found them. Thank you for sharing your dives. ♥♥♥
The arrow point is called a 'Snaro" or snare point. used for taking birds in flight. Probably shot a pesky gull crapping on someones boat.
Very interesting. I would not have thought about birds. :)
sportclay1 thanks for the info

Try Eagle Lake near susanville beautiful there

Totally agree about the grappling hook.
Good advertising for Craftsman tools!
LOL...do you hear that Craftsman!!??? sponsorships are accepted!
5:19 What is that?
I always assumed that was an old pontoon type thing for a floating dock, back in the day before Styrofoam.
@@mokpot I wondered if it was some type of dredge support.
Thank you for cleaning up the water 👍❤️ where is the chair ?send it to Stanley it has a lifetime warranty! For repair!
And he plays tug of war with the crawdad!! Lmao
Pretty sure they use those grappling hooks to find mooring cables/rope with.
That was my guess also
It's to bad that all our lakes,and reservoirs, are not this pristine! Beautiful water!!
What's the name of the lake?
Are you not scared doing this? I know a shark isn’t coming but I would be constantly looking over my shoulder I guess out of paranoia. Is this relaxing to you or are you ever freaked out?
