- @MFEGoingDeep my first trip to Sebago Lake was certainly a day I’ll remember! My main goal for coming here was to have a look in the deepest water area of the lake which happens to be the deepest in the state, which you will see in the next video. Part 2 of this trip was to have a chance to look where I thought there might be some old bottles or other artifacts to recover. While researching I stumbled on to Frye’s leap and figured it would be perfect especially where it drops off to 100’+ really fast. The Notch where this is located between Frye island and the mainland was an EXTREMELY busy place with folks enjoying a gorgeous July day on the water. I was able to recover several old bottles and a pair of goggles off the bottom and enjoyed exploring this spot! For some reason the camera stopped recording for a couple of the bottles and the goggles but thankfully was able to realize and take care of the technical issue.
An absolutely beautiful clear lake I’m already looking forward to a return trip here as soon as I can! Certainly many areas to explore and things to see and find!
If you haven’t subscribed to the channel yet I would greatly appreciate your support and as always thanks for watching! 👍🐟
Thanks for picking up the trash! Pretty psyched to see how little there was. And that Casco soda bottle looks like a score.
Definitely! Got a couple good ones! Works out good cleaning up the lakes some and finding some neat things along the way.
Very clear footage.
I was waitin for you to go back and get that snorkel!😂 4:15
If I had seen it again I would have! Just drifting around in the boat by the time it’s come back up to the surface and then I send it down again it doesn’t necessarily drop right back in the same spot depending on how much I’ve moved. There was also a couple times I had to reposition completely after bringing it up as to avoid boaters that were coming in and out of there.
Go and troll the ferry route to Frye Island. You'll find enough cans and bottles to finance your next expedition!😄
Lol 😂
Thanks for the LOL. FYI I know this because I worked on the Ferries and on the Island for 20 years! There's also a snowmobile down there somewhere!
My niece Lisa jumped from the top, forgot to bring her arms in. Major redness on both arms, hurt her for a few days. It takes being fearless to jump from the top. Great spot to anchor your boat and watch people jump. ❤
I jumped from the very top once but use to jump all the time from the middle back in the late 70’s
So cool! You should do flagstaff lake 😁
Thanks! I have been to flagstaff and made a quick video there over the winter. I didn’t see anything real exciting but hoping to get back there soon and have another look around in a different area!
that's kool, it's a picker-uperer with a craw !!!
Sebago Brewery's Frye's Leap is an excellent beer'
I grew up swimming here at my grandparent's place in the 70s & 80s, so amazing to see bottles that were probably there beneath my feet as a kid back then.
That’s neat and you’re probably right! One of those from that day looked to be early 1900’s.
Was just there and my kids jumped off Fryes Leap. Just 2 days ago.
Been on. That lake 10 yrs. Never got to dive it though. Used to do dive rescue in mass as kids came I had no time.
Jumped off the leap for the first time when I was 13, last time at 22 I dove off. Probably a few dozen in between. 25 years later you could pay me lol. Found a Casco bottle like that back in the day (in Casco incidentally).
cool!
Those bottles and cans gave shelter to small fish
You need to find a big gold rolex watch, LOL.
I’d be ok with that! 😁
Looks like you found the bottles my brother threw off the Leap back in the summer of '75!
Lol 😂 any other places I should check for more?
I jumped off that a few times.
Oh man, we used to have a camp in Jordan’s bay, you’d turn off 302 right by where the crazy gun guy used to be. Such a beautiful lake.
This reminds me of the claw game but like open world version
I like that!
I lost a $200 pair of sunglasses in the lake last summer, can you grab them for me?
thanks for picking up the trash. from what I saw as kid in the 70s you could fill a dumpster. I lost a nice Case pocket knife there. do you think you can find it?
It works out good grabbing stuff like this as sometimes you never know can find something really old and cool like a couple of those bottles date back to the early 1900’s and I’ve recovered some in other lakes older than that. And at the very least cleans up the lake a little bit. Win win as far as I’m concerned. Not sure how long ago you lost that there but I’m hoping to have another look in that area again sometime soon and can keep an eye out although good chance it’s quite rusted out if it’s been any length of time.
I bet with a metal detector you could find a lot of jewelry there
What no Moxie bottles?
Lol nope, maybe next time I have a look there
Anyone else see that snorkel next to the second bottle?
I did when I was watching the playback 🤦♂️ pretty sure I got the goggles that might go with it though!
@@MFEGoingDeep those look like decent goggles too!
If I knew you were doing this I would have gotten a halloween skeleton and thown it off the leap beforehand
Lol 😂
Curious what equipment you are using and how far down it will go. Clearer images of the ww2 Corsair would be really something.
I use a fifish v6 expert and it’s rated to 100 meters, 328’. The Corsair(s) is definitely something I’d like to video for sure!
Your under water drone is amazing! I recently dropped my Garmin watch near Fryes leap, are you planning to revisit Sebago lake anytime soon? 🙃
Oh no! Yes I am planning on a return trip just as soon as I can. If you can narrow down the area for me you think it is I can definitely have a look for it!
@@MFEGoingDeep That would be amazing! It went in near the smaller rock formation to the left of Frye‘s leap at 0:40. I tried adding a Dropbox link with pictures to my comment but it got deleted straight away. How can I reach you best to send you the link?
Maybe RUclips allows google drive: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1V5kn-ZNnDDRy0mYY_nSPQOvCYH8yRpDK
I will check it out! And you can reach me at mfegoingdeep@gmail.com
Thx for cleaning up the trash !! I’d tell you to go down the Saco river in Fryeburg and pick up bottles and cans, but that would take a full year !! IGNORANT TUBERS !!!!
08:06 you missed a watch i think! Upper right corner 😅
You think it was? I thought it was a top to an old can or something like that.
@MFEGoingDeep im not 100 sure but to me it looks like 🤔
EDIT: never mind , I think you are right, if you look closer it really looks like a bottle cap sunken into the sand
But at 4:14 I saw a snorkel now 😂😅
I didnt even notice that snorkel till I was rewatching the footage later on 😂 thought I saw a ring too but ended up being a soda can pop top 🤦♂️
Curious abou the plane did you see anything?
I’m curious about it too! I didn’t see it, I wasn’t specifically looking for it either on this day but is something I’d like to find and video for sure!
@@MFEGoingDeep there is a video on here about the planes maybe that will help
Question.... Where's all the aquatic life??? Is it that polluted?
Sebago Lake is like 47 square miles with an average depth of 107 feet. That is a massive area. This video is just in the small area at the bottom below Frye’s leap so that’s not even beginning to scratch the surface of looking around down there. Plenty of fish around and seemed like a really clean lake to me. There will be places out there that have all kinds of fish all about finding them, this video was mainly seeing what I could find on the bottom at this spot. If I had been up higher in the water column and looking around instead of straight down there was probably some swimming around right nearby.
It's clean enough that it's the drinking water for a good bit of southern Maine. Not much for them to do this deep, all the food is in shallower water.
not one fish. seems the fish population is not what it used to be even rangely lake is empty. too bad they couldn’t replenish fish population
Remember it’s a huge lake and this was just a small area in this video I was looking and I was mostly focused right on bottom to see what I could find. There’s fish around, hopefully on another visit can find a spot where there’s a bunch hanging out and video them!
