Broward Beach Conditions

mph? Are you talking about speed or distance?

Well, if you can figure out the distance to your spots I'd like to know it, to see if it's feasible for me to swim out with you guys.

i have a tandem yak that I could use to meet you as well Dan.

the swim is do-able , I have done it many times, the truth is though, I am so tired when Iget out that I spend a while resting ang then the daunting swim back in keeps me thinking twice about moving against the current or going furhter out, I typically only swim the first reef from shore but the second is do-able

I estimate it is 3/4 of a mile to a mile to our spots on the 2nd reef...total guess based on how fast i paddle

hau wheres your report?? after all u did get that decent mutton :thumbsup1:
Me and hau barracuda reef out at 8 casue i made us late
ocean was a lake when we got in and bout the same when we got out around 1230 maybe later.
Big mackerals but neither of us managed one. I had one on (biggest ive ever seen) but it came off the spear casue i only had one band pulled and it was a distance shot.
Only fish from barracuda reef for me was a schoolmaster but scored a decent hog on the way in.
Hau landed a nice mutton.
All around a beautiful day weather and water wise.

even the mutton suicide mistake doesnt help me break the mutton curse...to this day, I have shot at least 5 and never taken one home

glad you are out there living the dream Hau

aim for the center mass, any high shot they will tear of your spear. if you fin on the way down they wont let you get close

Mutton = Aim for the head. Pound per pound the fish that goes the most crazy and most likely to rip off if the shot is not good.

Hau, Dan and I have done many shoredives out to the 2nd and 3rd reefs. He's very capable of tagging along with you guys without a problem. He had a yak but I believe he sold it.

Maybe the 2nd reef is further from shore where they dive than it is in Ft Lauderdale?

got out today for an afternoon dive..meade st, noon to 5.
some particulate in the water but about 35 ft of vis, dove from the 2nd in about 35-40 ft of water to the edge of the first in about 20-25ft.
lots of close groupers and a few jacks in all the spots...got three hogs, two small (13") and one around 18"

first day with the RA and the Tinman muzzle and I am in love...what a nice gun..open muzzles are the only way for me from now on.

today at meade,, worked first reef south for a while. didnt get out till noon and came back in around 3 (remembered why i usually get up a llot earlier). vis had potenital but a lot of thick particulate.
not many fish out and about

of course boss.. be joining u again soon im sure

Meade street area,, closer to peir.
first reef got one hog.. area seemed pretty void so went out to second reef, took only about 5 minutes the ocean wass so flat. also not much goin on so went to outter edge of second over sand and got a nice spani mack. jacks were out but on the wrong side of small. Viz was actually pretty good especially on the second reef. zero cloud cover but swift current
