Had some new shooters out with me both days and conditions were awesome. Visibility on some sites were 30-40 feet, water temps were great and a 3mm wetsuit was just fine.
Didn't see too many keeper gags (we were out as far and 75 feet and as shallow as 45 feet), but there were lots of nice hogs and a couple of spots had some 4 lb plus mangos on them. Stopped on a little wreck in 45 feet and it had five jewfish on it...big ones! One tried to eat a gag I shot and I basically had to intimidate the dang thing away to save the fish. I rushed the fish on the shaft as the big boy was trying to eat it and shoved my gun (minus a shaft) right into the it's face to get him to back off.
Between fishing and diving we had a couple of pretty good days and flat seas...eight grouper (only three of them we shot - the rest were caught on poles -- biggest we caught was about 15 lb, 31 inches), ten mangrove snapper, and about nine hogs (all pretty nice ones), some triggers and . Managed to catch a dozen or so kingfish on hook and line also for some fun. Tell everybody to get out there now...it is as good for diving as we have seen it for a long time.
Hopefully can post some pictures soon, as one of the guys had a camera both days.

Is this a reborn version of the dive club that idiot Ski ran into the rocks and the old gray haired guy that owns the scuba shop controlled? is he ruuining this club to?
ReplyDeleteWe Hope not, and if it is a new club please let me know! A few of my friends wanted to join but some guy Greg Gold told us it was a bunch of self absorbed morons and it was not worth it as tehy are unsafe and the dive shop underfills tanks every time. He had nothing noce to say about the meeting place or guys running it.
Please post what is different about this club with the same hog name. thanks
