Broward Beach Conditions

Thanks Dan.
I hope these reports are helpful to others.
Now and then I look back at posts from other years to get an idea of what conditions and fish to expect.

Tons and tons of moon jellies again today. I'm glad their sting is very mild, as they would hang up on my snorkel and everything else.
Lots an lots of divers in the water today combing the reef. I only saw 1 shootable fish in 4 hours, but today was still a great freedive yak spearin day
Met 2 yak spearos on the beach that did good and had several fish and lobster

The weather was less threatening this morning so I went a little further out into deeper water and got 3 hogs
The moon jellies were so thick that at times I couldn't see the bottom
Saw no macs, no grouper, no muttons, etc, just 3 shootable hogs in 6 hours in the water :confused1:
Lots of big boats working just outside the 3rd reef today.
Got back to the truck and found a note from a long time spearo brother.:thumbsup2: Sorry I missed u bro

Late report for; 8-16-11__#64-2011m1

Only got to spend 4 hours in the water today due to work.
Marine conditions were good, but no real fish to target.
I only saw 2-3 dozen moon jellies today
I just got 1 hog, hope others did better than me

Moon Jellyfish Warning--normally moon jellyfish have not been considered dangerous. However, in the last 2 weeks or so, off Miami / Ft. Lauderdale, I have seen at least a dozen diver injuries from moon jellyfish. I would suggest anyone that enters the water with moon jellyfish to wear at least a hooded rash guard and full skin coverage protection of some type AND to have some type of jellyfish sting treatment immediately available.
Hope this helps.

Sorry for falling behind posting Broward Beach Conditions. I got a new 32yr old skinny, beautiful Russian GF that is keeping me very BUSY :bed:
Maybe I can get a picture posted of her with fish or the triathlon swim or bikini section later
