viz 40f in 40fsw---30f in 30fsw

The water temp is warming up and today I switched from my 5mm top and 3mm bottoms to 3mm top and bottoms and was nice and toastie for 4 hours in the water.
Viz also was better so I was able to get out to 40fsw and found 2 boar hogs that had forgotten what a spearo looked like -
Nice to hear Hau, thanks for the report
-
Anyone in the Broward area want to head out Sunday? I know it's Easter but not sure when I'll have another chance for a while. I just spent a week in Belize studying fish I couldn't shoot (MPA) so I want to put some on the grill!

I have to be in by noonish but I'm game, beach dive?
-
Yea, I am boatless so Yak or beach is the way.
-
beach it will have to be, I won't have to time clean the boat and store it before afternoon festivities.
I just checked the forecast and it doesn't look good, hopefully it improves between now and then
-
Getting to be that time of year. Where do you go from typically? I am in Ft. Lauderdale near Las Olas and usually hit by Birch park.
-
shallow - From deerfield to vista.
Late report for 4/4/12
BEST DAY OF DIVING I'VE EVER SEEN IN BROWARD!!!!! We dove from 8-2, water temp was mid 70s viz was 75+ lots of ornamentals and snapper. Seas were absolutely flat in the morning and about 2' when we were headed in.
both were 20 inches, mangrove was shot in 55' and holed up.I don't know what type the other snapper is but it was in 40-45 and holed up. I had to wrestle it away from a moray, hence the missing center section.I also shot 2 small lionfish
-
nice mike!
-
You would have loved the first spot we jumped in, it was probably 70-80 feet and from the surface we could see the reef at the bottom. I dove about 30 feet to check out the life/fish/structure and realized it was out of our league although it looked real nice. We found that all day we were underestimating depth from the surface because of the the insane viz(my gps/fishfinder is out for repairs)
-
mike , that's a dog snapper.
-
mrmike--congrats on some very nice fish sir.
Great report and thanks for sharing -
Nice fish Mike. Glad you had good vis.

Very nice fish Mike

The water is a little warmer today and not much boat traffic and not many shootable fish either, but at least I finally got out after all this wind.
Got 1 mutton and a 15 and 16in hog today

Ha, how was the viz out deeper? I had hoped that with the flattening seas and dying wind it would clear up nicely

Hey Mike, Got out today out of elliot, vis was 30ft in 45ft of water. Shot a few hogs and snapper before we headed in, my friend was not feeling good.
