@MFEGoingDeep today marks 1 year since the start of this channel and I’m proud to have this be the video to celebrate that occasion. So some things to note here; the deepest spot when this lake was surveyed was 316’. The area of 300’ + water is quite large (1 1/2 x 1/2 mile approx.) so once I had a consistent reading on my depth finder over 300’ of depth I decided to make the dive. As you see in the video the depth finder shows 309’ while the drone showed approximately 290’. Not sure what the discrepancy is there, I know there’s fine silt on the bottom so not sure if the sonar penetrates that before bouncing back for a reading or just an anomaly with the drone’s ability to determine its depth. Regardless it’s the deepest dive we’ve done on the channel! It was neat to see some life down there! I believe those small fish are sculpins similar to what I’ve seen on the bottom in other deep cold water lakes we’ve searched. Maybe slightly different color variations.
Thank you everyone for joining me on this journey so far! I’ve enjoyed exploring this different side of Maine and having a look in places that can’t readily be seen. We’ve seen some cool stuff and no doubt lots more to discover and find!
