September 27, 2016: Mowing the Lawn on Paw Paw Lake

Tuesday:  Today was a combo day of mowing the lawn with Kevin, which means looking for treasure on the bottom of a body of water using a poor man’s side scan. Its called mowing the lawn because while dragging your tow fish it resembles the pattern when you mow your yard. Then if you sport something interesting, you toss out a buoy hopefully near the object and then doing a quick bounce dive to see if the hits are really something.  Today we know where things are not, and the things that “were located” were not what we were looking for.  A tow fish where your sonar transducer is mounted on or within a torpedo looking device being dragged by the boat.
