Hi All,
I just returned from the lake after scouting the area. About 2pm this afternoon (Wed.) I went to the eastern/southeastern end of Rattlesnake and saw MP towing what I assumed was a camera. There were two different colored markers in the water about 80 feet apart. Thats what we do when we search an area-I use different markers and/or colors to help orient myself around a target. I can't say for sure they were using them for the same purpose.

I landmarked the area on GPS and left. I will return late in the day or early in the morning soon to do some much more serious scanning when the water is as flat as its going to get and nobody is around-chop is a killer for my type of SSS. Ideally a towfish is needed, although they suffer from choppy water, too, but some have compensators to take the movement out of the equation. I know some people I am going to talk to soon about commercial-grade deep-diving SSS and seeing if I can get some time out of them.
