Any tips on making the Ceviche before I cut him up?

Looks like mini season is going to be a wash

Sliced thin 5 minutes soaking in lime juice should be enough from what I remember.

Slice in to bite size pieces and cover with lemon and lime juice. Make sure its fresh squeezed. I like to add roasted red pepper, mango slices, cilatro and maybe some tomato. You can also add some salt, pepper and/or hot sauce or peppers. Let it rest in the fridge for a while to let it chill and cook then enjoy with some tostadas and a cold one.

I've started doing all of my good weather dances, this will be my first year staying up here and I'm hoping to score big.

I go super simple for my ceviche. Red pepper diced small. Red onion diced small. Yj diced small.
Some coarse kosher salt. Hot red pepper and then lime and lemon in a 4:1 ratio. I do a 15-20 minutes soak at the longest. Then strain and enjoy
Sometimes I'd add garlic or roasted garlic if I made some the night before. Generally I leave it raw or out completely.
I occasionally add mint, mango, or a spicier pepper too

why do you guys get excited for mini season? isnt it just like a few day period when the oceans extra crowded with people? Is it like a first come first serve get them while you still can kind of deal?
-
I am with you Steve. To me, mini season is off the water time.
-
Agreed.
That said can I sell you a flag and a tickle stick?
-
Abundance of lobster before they get wiped out the week after, not saying limits are not to be had year round but I find larger numbers during mini
-
true. more bugs on mini for me unless you have really good year round spots

Growing up, mini season was the biggest holiday of the year for me. Christmas was ok.. Halloween, meh.. but mini season, I waited all year for those 2 days. I can remember my mom knocking me out with benedryl the night before so I could actually get some sleep. For me, there's just something magical about it.. heading out before sun up, being anchored on that one hole, waiting for light and hoping that it was still as jam packed as it was the previous scouting day. Ending the day with a lobster feast shared by the entire family. It's not so much about the easy pickings, it's that one day designated for being on the water, having a blast, and enjoying what the ocean has to offer.
There are safe places out there, where the out of state yahoos are sparse. I sure as hell wouldn't dive Miami or lauderdale for mini season.

I have had limits within a few hours during miniseason, in the keys 7 people on the boat, 42 lobsters by 10am and then its time to drink the rest of the day..... what's not to be excited about. Up here it's 12 per person so I'm hoping I can put 7 on the boat and land 84 bugs in that same couple hours with a couple areas I know holding them. And then drink the rest of the day... sure its busier but everyone is lobstering so the speed boats trying to run us over are limited or at least a little more conscious of our presence. I only get excited because the last 3-4 years I've done it seriously have been exciting.

out today from 500pm-720pm south of port everglades
went from inside of first reef to the outside of the first reef and back again
Viz was pretty lame everywhere, Very very hazy
heard a crazy loud boom when i was diving down, dont know what it was
Saw a lot of 12-14 inch hogs
A lot of boats out even late -
viz was ok at 7am but there was a hazy brown layer about 2' thick. I got my limit of bugs, lots of boats I talked to had a very hard time... silly bubble blowers. viz shut down by 3 so I came in.
