@@mokpot: That hole in the rock you were looking for "goodies" in looks like it's an old Indian grinding hole that they used to ground acorns in to make a flour. There are a couple of those across from my place in serpentine rock. Very fascinating, the history.
This is awesome I grew up on this exact stretch of the river! Amazing summers great times. I wonder if you could search the San Juan rapids I heard stories from my family they used to dive there in the 80s and 90s and would find all sorts of rad stuff too! Currents strong but non the less great spot👌🏻 This totally made my day thanks 💯
Hello Nobody, this was just below the SJ rapids. I have friends who've them, but they do it 'free diving' with no tanks. I have on a couple of occasions attempted but it is to shallow for me.
Hey Mark ,,,,, Wow ,,,, that current brings back memories of diving in the inlets in South Florida ! I never had to buy saltwater fishing tackle . Even a cast net which , BTW, I still have ! Just a wall hanger now. Thanks,,,,,,,,
Big current, deep holes, always looking for treasure in the depressions. Water just a hair too fast. Stripers always interested in shiny objects. Great dive!
Hello, I love watching you just drift in the water although you be careful. The people have done a pretty good job on picking up after themselves, but that doesn’t help you get the treasure. Keep on filming and I’ll keep watching.
Hi Tammy. this whole year has been a little slack on "treasures" which I suppose can be seen as a good thing. There are a lot more people out hunting the water these days, with all the RU-vidrs out showing how fun it can be it is only natural that others will start enjoying it as well.
@@glenturney4750 I sure do, I have a few metal detectors. two are rated to 200 feet. The problem is using them in river currents which, brings up at least two (or 3) issues. One being having so much gear hanging off of me, this creates snag hazards and drags in the water. second, using a detector underwater can be quite tiring "swinging" it against the water, which is 800 times denser than the air. Often in the river current it requires me to hold on to something to prevent being swept downstream, so detecting and attempting to recover a signal is done with just one hand/arm. Recovering a signal can take a long time, with a limited air supply...
That had to be strenuous fighting the current. It was funny the kayak people wanting to know if you needed a lift. Interesting dive and I guess it was a semi official one what with the boat fin.
Another fun video. Seems like you get adopted by at least one fish in each video. They always turn to look at you like they are saying....hey, follow me! Thanks for sharing!
Looks like you might need to wear a crash helmet with some of those obstacles. Enjoying you videos. Regards from Lindsay, "Down Under" (Adelaide, South Australia)
You made a comment (in text) that the river is surprisingly clear this year. Well, no duh. Higher than normal rain fall/snow fall and that increase in flow will tend to "FLUSH" the system of loose stuff. Stay safe Mark.
Yeah, what happened to this "drought" California is supposed to be having? I think it's just a bunch of political garbage, 'cause in the past when we've had wet Winters and Springs and lots of snowfall, the lakes filled up, then newsom let it all out through the dams to flow back out into the ocean to make our water sources low, so he could fine everyone for using too much water. Strange how HIS yards were always green though?
Mornin' Mark, this was one wild ride! (Did you pick up that hat in the last shot?!)---I liked the topside view of the current, helped put things into perspective!
Good Morning Alana's did not pick up either hat. It may sound silly, but they would have acted with the same effect as a sail would on a boat, in the water they would drag me around and perhaps have caught on something.To sum it up... it was dangerous to take them in these conditions. I hope all is well with you.
@mokpot when I was young in the keys. I used to drift the reef in a 13 ft whaler. When I saw a fish or lobster, i wanted. I would ride the anchor down. The water was usually 30 to 40 ft. Well, within free diving range.
Great video, really demonstrated how the river speed can effect your movement. I'm a metal detector and nothing gets under my skin more than lazy inconsiderate people leaving trash around. Keep working on the audio it's close to working. Cheers.
It is the smoking alternative, VAPE juice, they have quite a variety of "flavors" all are very strong smelling, the containers sometimes leak, I toss them before I travel home (when I remember)
Hi It ends where it merges with the Sacramento River. This confluence occurs near the California state capital, Sacramento. From there it is easy to follow it on a map/Goggle Earth. Thanks for tuning in
Since the middle of the 18th century the American river as well as much of the State of CA's waterways have been dredged and torn apart by gold seekers....I didn't see a fish during your dive...💔
I picked up a park pass the other day and I was not too happy when I seen they do not let you park by the water anywhere anymore, that's democrats for you! you can't even drive down to the water st Sunrise now! The high water we had must have flushed the litter out of the river!
