Got out for a few hours today. We went off of elliot key and headed north. hit the water like at 11 am, vis was hazy shallow and crystal clear out deep. Most of the fish I shot shallow, I got my limit of 5 hogs and 6 lobster in a few hours. I pooped a nice male hog 30 inches 27 at fork, and his wife shortly after.
I saw a big bull shark maybe close to 150lbs in shallow water. I shot a hog right next to him and hopped on the boat. A luxury only availiabe when having a skilled and attentive driver.
My first time diving in a 22 foot panga with a 90 hp motor. we ran about 50 miles amd wasted less than 20 bucks of gas.
Biggest Hog went close to 8 pounds. My biggest for this area. William also got a nice cuda and 2 mackerals trolling with artificials.
I went deep to 70+ to see if anything was around and nothing. It seems I cant complete a day without a few deep dives. It might be a bad habit.
