September 22, 2016: Thirsty Thursday dive

September 22:    The plan for Thirsty Thursday dive night was in the Saint Joseph river as it flows thru Niles.  The time was changed to 5:30-7:30 to give the working guys a little more time to get here.  Pickup point for getting a  ride to the dive site was at the Marmont St. Launch.  We had 3 drivers and one shore support (Barb) off the park boardwalk in Niles and three divers launched from Marmont street. We were spread out all along the shore line and collected the following. Fast current, many many trees and snag points with 4-5 foot visibility, water temperature ~65 F surface. Saw some HUGE cat fish among the sunken tree’s and a couple of large bass.  I did uncover a cache of older small coke bottles. Top Photo: No Christmas cokes and only 3 were local- one was from Texas. Bottom Photo: The large milk was a nice embossed “Twin Pine Dairy, Guernsey Milk, T.W. Keirnan”. The purse did not have any money in it, honest!
