Got an SLQ outta todays lake hunt

juju · Jul 2, 2009

Howdy all,
Grabbed the Tigershark and donned the wetsuit first thing this mornin for a short but productive water hunt. No gold or silver jewelry, but did manage a silver coin. It was tough chasin this signal in the large rocks. I figure it must of only been about 6 or 7 inches but it wasn't givin up without a fight. The lake bottoms up here are tough, and mostly gravel. This is the first SLQ I have ever gotten from a water hunt. This lake has given up wheats and a couple buffalos in the past so it was just a matter of time before I got a silver. I took pics of it fresh outta the lake, and again after a little bakin soda rub. Its rough, and dateless but it counts in my keeper totals. Thanks for lookin, and luck in the hunt.

That is pretty cool. First SLQ I have seen pulled from the drink. :icon_sunny:

I haven't gotten out the wetsuit nor the Excal yet.....Not too many water prospects here.

Very nice SLQ there juju...rocks and gravel are tough but well worth the effort I see. When you heading over to this side of the mountain for some detecting? We are expecting some rain this week so grass areas should be softening up.
