Viz Clearing Up on Hood Canal!
Posted: Sat Oct 02, 2021 9:31 pm
The last couple weeks - viz on Hood Canal has been improving.
Yesterday - Flagpole presented a good 40 feet Viz. When viz is this clear - it is so cool to see more of the structure (all at the same time). The amount of schooling rock fish is also pretty cool to watch and take in! At Elephant Wall - viz today was at least 35 feet - in that at 35 deep, I could easily see the surface of the water.
I cannot remember a time when so many octo dens populated on these sites. It's really fun to go visit the dens and see what everyone is up to. And - I keep finding more. A den at Elephant Wall that I had not visited for quite a while (it's at 95 to 100 feet deep), just had the female pass away. Sad to see the female octo cycle of life end. Speaking of the cycle of life - fish are all around the GPOs with eggs. They are just waiting for they day to snack on baby octos. Wish there was a "fish repellant" to use to keep those baby octos safe.
