Level was 8 feet today (after playing corner wave at 1 foot last night--wild!). I got out to squirt after 3 days of 100+ degree driving across the country with no AC...was dreaming of being under water the entire drive. There are 3 great seams in McKoy's at this level:
1. The squeeze where the Pinball channel hits the main current is great! I played it for about 20 minutes. The upstream edge of the Pinball slab is where to hit the convergence--a little inconsistent, but goes great both directions of spin. Head-under almost every ride once I figured it out. I hit a few deeper rides (about 6 feet down), and eventually tapped a 15+ seconder where I hit the up button. One ride spinning counter clock stayed deep and didn't travel at all--SWEET! My lungs are still getting re-acquainted with the idea of not breathing again.
2. Squeeze on river left just below 7/8 Hole (in the football eddy). Just like the Pin ball seam but more powered-up--both directions of spin work great. Start on the river left side of the squeeze and it'll work you out towards the current. Occasionally hit too far left, and never make it out to the actual squeeze--just spin in place head under infinitely.
3. Smoothie--it's the bomb. Both directions of sping great at this level. Down to the deepest layer only a few times, but LOVE IT!
It's so good to be back in warm deep water!
