    Today Hi-Leah, Stevo and me were supposed to be searching for 2 green bags of lost dive gear
    We found NO bags:(. One spearo got lobster. Another got some fish and I got I spade and 2 triggers.
    Me and Hi-Leah got caught in a small weather front coming through with high wind, high seas and so much rain only the biggest buildings could be seen. Hi-Leah did very good in the high seas and high wind but still landed aprox a 1/2mi South:(. I cell phoned and called off the other search team from coming out because the weather was so bad. Me and Hi-Leah were glad to get on the beach:thumbsup2:

    Oh man I left right at the right time. It was windy but when i loaded my yak it was really blowing. Glad to hear yall got in ok. BTW I lost my paddle while looking for the bags.:blowup: So if anyone finds a black paddle with orange ores pls give me a pm.

    Jorge and I did our due diligence too, unfortunately no gear was found. the seas weren't too bad for the motor boat and I manged a nice hog and got a lot better at loading the tito gun.


    I had a 30" mak that was positively mocking me....he swam by while I was unloaded, while I was incorrectly loaded and then stayed just out of range when I was ready... i hate that mack >:]


    are we totally f'ed this weekend ? is anyone going out at all?


    Jorge, wanna try again out at some other spots?

    i like to spear fish

    Projectile and I are meeting up at Dania pier Sunday at 830-9am. If the weather is bad we plan on rigging up his:0
    :thumbsup2: BRAND NEW HOBIE MIRAGE ADVENTURE:thumbsup2:


    LunkerBuster---congratulations on the nice fishes. And don't take the mack thing personal, cause they laugh at me too:D


    Stevo---sorry about your paddle. I know how proud you were of it. You were even bragging about how nice a paddle it was today before our dive:(
    Please to keep my paddle until you get a replacement. No problem:)

    pargo---you are correct. There are several reasons that I often dive alone:crazy:
    You don't think I'm going to take my freshly waxed yak out in these conditions, do you?:D
    I don't plan on being in the water more than 2-3 hours


    PS--Yea, I saw the link. Thank you, thank you. [I was afraid that the beach cams were gone at first glance]

    I tried diving Dania with bad conditions once, shortest beach dive I ever made. The breaking waves will take you further back than you can ever swim forwards.

    seaweed---thats exactly what happened to Projectile a couple of weeks ago under similar bad conditions on the Jax. He said that he fought the surf for a long time before having to give up.
    Looks like a solo dive so far.:)
    Hopefully I can give an encouragining viz report at least.

    today was a desperation dive:D with high waves, high wind, high surge, high rip and low viz:(
    I almost made it to the end of the Jax but got caught in a S to N rip and got dumped onto the beach aprox 300yd N of the Jax. I lost no gear and saw no fish. A cutie stopped on her bicycle to help me out of my wet suit in the parking lot:thumbsup2:
    [I am NOT addicted to spearin:)]

    Carefull about landing in the park with a gun. If a ranger sees you he will definately give you a ticket/warning depending on how he feels. We lucked out one day because he didnt have enough warnings.

    Davie Peguero

    spearos---thanks
    seaweed--you are correct about the gun in the park. However today, the ranger could not have ridden his beach cart to me as the whole beach has eroded away in most places leaving a 2-3f ledge of the beach. Conditions were so rough this morning that there was no surfers, no kiters, no sunbathers [blowing sand], no one.
