Broward Beach Conditions

Sorry, I just got back from the Keys
Water temp was 76F 4-23 on Dania 1st and 2nd reef when I was last out. That was measured with an alum hand held theromometer.
The link I have been posting the weather from is the South Beach Boca Raton beach cam;

Me and Scott went out to the first reef after fixing my pick-up. Thanks Scott for standing by
The only reason that today was do-able was because we hadn't been in the water since 4-23 or so.
The beach surf was a little high going out and good and high coming back in. We lost no gear:D
Scott got a porgy and I got a grunt. That is all we saw all day in the crap viz and high seas.
Scott got to try out his new Riffe fins
Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

The brotherhood is broken. Me and Scott were joined by a mermaid the whole dive:thumbsup2:
Met a yak lady in the parking lot who went out to the 1st reef with us and stayed with us the whole dive,she even held my gun and sunbathed on my yak:0
I lucked out and got a dozen reef fish and Scott got fish also.:thumbsup2:
I will write more later about todays events.:D

stevo---
1. I got a witness. Scott is my witness
2. Nice new avitar you got there.
3. You should have seen our new mermaid sunbathing on my yak (I need a bigger boat)
4. Both Scott AND the mermaid witnessed me catching a 20in hog with my bare hands, just ask Scott:thumbsup2:

Here is a fun true story from 5-5-9.
I saw a hog down in the sand at aprox 30f. I waited tilk the hog was acting just right and then I dropped on him. When I shot, I hit him in the belly and the shaft actually came out his belly. The hog started to swim back down onto the sand and it was obviouse that he was dieing. I yelled to the mermaid who swam over to me. I handed her my gun, breathed up and dropped on the hog fish that was just barely alive. I eased up to the hog and grabbed it fast with both hands just as it made one last dying wiggle. I had the hog in both hands and swam to the surface. When I broke the surface with the hog the mermaids eyes were bugged out as all she saw was me swim down and grab the hog with my bare hands. She was not around when I shot the hog and thought that I had just caught the hog with my bare hands. I said to her, "See, you don't even need a speargun to get these stupid hog fish".:thumbsup2:
