Going snorkeling with my ATP in a sandy lake tomorrow for the first time.

It's an old swimming spot in Lake Ponchatrain. Any helpful hints?

Didn't think that lake was swimmable.

Good luck, I water hunt with an AT but wading.
I would think you would want to shorten the stem, if able.

I lived in Slidell and worked in NO for about half a year some time back, lived right on the shore of Pontchartrain off of the causeway [US 10].
Just now looked at google maps, the whole area there has changed drastically since I was there. Condo I lived in is no where in sight, replaced with man made islands packed with houses.

Everyone knows the water there is brackish, I suppose some areas more than others. You'd know better than I, post back if you find anything.

Update us on how it goes! I'm preparing a snorkel trip with my ATP and would love to hear any experience tips you come back with, as well as see any finds. Good luck!
