Northwoods Dive Sites

[FreediveWI]

I went in off of the state park beach on the East shore.

We were going to use one of the boats that we brought up to hit other areas, but it was so cold, and rainy, that most of the other people wimped out and it was just easier to drive over there and swim it.

The bass are in there if you hit the left side of the bay and stick around 20'. I also saw one, small, muskey in the weed beds that line the right side of the bay. Vis was crap, and it was pretty cold, below 35' so I stayed shallow.

If your in the area I would certainly make the 10 mile drive down to where 51 and highway N cross. THere are a bunch of lakes right there that are all really good for diving- Trout, Sparkeling, Crystal and Muskelunge. Most of the rest of the Manitowish chain is tanic and vis is limited.

I also used lakesat.org to survey the lakes before I went. That way I kne that Little star was going to be my best bet before I ever set eyes on it. It's really an awesome website and I now base most of my diving off of it.
