Default barge for snorkeling in Paugus

jkjoshuatree,

There's a great barge in Paugus that starts off in 6' of water and extends to where the other end lies in about 15' of water. It lies 15' off a quiet shore with almost no boat traffic which makes it great for kids. I have been snorkling there for about 40 years and it hasn't seemed to have deteriorated much.

There's usually lots of bass and other fish.

Where is it? Locate Pickerell Cove (on your chart) on the right hand shore as you pass through the channel towards Lakeport. About maybe an eighth of a mile past the culvert leading into Pickerell (not Singing) Cove look for a crooked white birch tree hanging over the water. It's right there.

I don't have my chart handy so if my directions seem unclear post here and I'll clarify, possibly by phone.

By the way, did you hear about the hand grenade that was thrown on the floor in France? Yeah, it was linoleum blownapart.
