So apparently there might be some semi-clearwater lakes in Wisconsin. I guess this might be worth checking out sometime.

so I’ve seen a few pics from people freediving in Lake Michigan, and I figure, hey, maybe I can make this work.

Weeelllllllll, aparently it goes like this. From the Chicago shore, the bottom Lake Michigan deepens very, very slowly. From what I can gather from maps (and my own personal experience), it looks like the lake hits the 30 foot marker somewhere about a mile out. Which is a pretty good way to get struck by a boat.

Yes, I actually did attempt to freedive just off of Loyola beach a month or two back when the water was about as blue as possible. I may be mistaken, but it looks like the lake is just too shallow, and the sand gets kicked up by the waves, reducing visibility to arms length at best.

looks like this one is going to take a while to get accomplished.



I wonder if they forecast the weather for viz anywhere. 3 years ago

where I live the water’s not always clearest, but we shall soon see if I can gig any carp, quilback, buffalo, sucker, bowfin, or gar.
