Well boys and girls, I just received a 5mm Farmer John in the mail Friday! So I have the Cold water hopefully beat and looking for a simple Air/Nitrox Dive Computer. Probably get it with in the next month. So Ill be ready to try out a few Spearguns then! Ecery place I have always fished Pierce07 there are plenty of Pinfish!!!

There isnt a limit on Baracudas.....

Has any of you ever PROBED in 75-100 foot of water looking for Limestone bottom? Just curious... Is the Natural bottom all limestone? If it is Ill bet ya there are fossils there! Teeth more like it.

don't know about limestone bottom,but there are some great live bottom areas like greenhole and the timberholes that you might try.

good luck. make sure to post anything when you find it

Sean,

10,000 years ago the coast line was out as far as you see it on Google Earth, about 90 miles in places. Then the Icemelted and its yet to be determined why, but filled the oceans to present day coast line. The newest theory is that somewhere in Ohio, a meteor hit the Continent and was cushioned by themile thick ice cap. During the impact of a meteor then and only then tiny nano-diamonds are created from the heat. This is the only event which this occurs.

This theory is based on findings in Ivory, Mammoth and Mastodon Ivory tusks show imbedded particles. A large impact with a catacalismic blast is believed to distribute these particles at high speed and killed life within many many miles of impact. Although the time frame lost about 1500 years in Carbon dating this is a result of cave dwellers. Basically those who were inside a cavern, or cave like structure were protected fromt he blast. Those above ground animals and humanoids were killed.

The loss of data from this period is being used to develop this theory. So ... its highly possible to find fossils in this area, pleistocene animals mainly.But the possiblity of artifacts will also be there, photographed and marked for future Archaeological teams to extract and map out. Just something I like to do. Might cost me a few tanks to play around.

Now if you do find a limestone bottom you also have the opportunity to discover bones and teeth from large sharks such as the Auriculatis and the Megalodon species. If you ever found a bone bed, it will be virgin. It will be loaded with stuff too... very happy day!

In our area our limestone if any isdeep. Little further north its higher and then as you go east it is also exposed higher formations.

I always thought the natural bottom areas here like paradise and greens, were just that, limestone. Am I wrong?

Looks like lme stone to me.

Steve...sounds like your ready to get out of the rivers and hit hte wild blue sea! If you wanna go sometime, you can poke around for fossiles. I'll hang out a little bit behind you...ready to pop the curious fish that ALWAYS come up behind any diver pokin around the bottom with his ass stickin up in the air. Maybe we'll both come home with some goodies!

Although I gotta say I am not a fan of diving natural bottom compared to structure because theres not much cover, and the fish hide very easy in holes.

Heres some video of natural bottom. Look like limestone with coral growing on it to you?
