South FL reef hunting techniques - help!

The reef youre talking about is actually like the zero not the first. There are actually 4 reefs but people seem to skip the inshore one and call the actual second reef the first. The first is actually about double the distance from the pier and what you are thinking of as the second.

If you continue past that 0 reef ledge it will eventually turn back into sand, and if you swim over the sand you will eventually come to rocks that get rockier and rockier in about 20ft which eventually turns into ledges and shallow reef. That is reef #1. If you keep swimming over the reef it eventually gets deep again, turns back into sand, a lot more sand, and then when you hit rocks again you are at the front of the second reef with the sand at about 25ft 30+ at the back. Another patch of sand and you arrive at the back of the second in 45ish. And then yet another expansive patch of sand will land you on the 3rd in 60+ ft of water.

There are some spots that have patches of reef missing, but for the most part you can know where you are by how many large patches of sand you swam over.

Chase, I think it's time you read this post http://spearfishing.world/info…earfishing-locations.html

Unfortunately you would have to travel quite far to find a place free from the dangers of DUI boaters in South FL. Its just how it is here. When I go out im more worried about boaters then SWB, sharks, etc. The reefs here are used like highways and most boats run up and down them parallel to the shore so there is nowhere you are really safe from traffic. The best thing to do is beachdive on weekdays when you can since almost no one is out boating. When people are out boating make sure you keep an eye and an ear out as best you can for boats. Most boats you here coming a looong ways before they are close. But ive been surprised by enough very silent boats (mostly sailboats) to know its not a foolproof method.

What is an SWB Mark? Single White Bitches? Haha just kidding.

Chase, I do not intend harm the thread, with comments unrelated to your questions.

Every time I read your posts I see your dog, reminds me that I had. a Boxer "Cabezon" beautiful, valiant with thousand adventures that it was feasible to write a book, your last adventure was a short-legged Pitbull called Cleopatra "Cleo" Cabezon was 12 years old when Cleo arrived, neglect me and Cleo give birth pario 9 puppies (all males), beautiful dogs that were unintentionally mixed race they were very beautiful.

Ellos sabian cuando yo me iba a pescar

Hardline, I think this is Spanish Mackerel / Cero (strong abdominal background)

Feed them the fish heads, and any fish you can spare. All raw of course.

Dan, have you ever had diarrhea issues after giving your dogs raw fish?

The easiest way to tell is the line running down the side. The Spanish Mack (above) has just circles and no line whereas a Cero will have a line running down the side.

Chase and Dan, Yes, they are excellent companions, Red? interesting .. Cleo was the daughter of a black father and white mother. cleo was brow (like boxer).

I feed them fish, also, mixed canned sardines with pro plan.

my opinion, sardines shining to her hair

Thanks Hardline, the above photo (mine) swim alone or with two or three clear water

This smaller swim in shoals and clear water and green

I have no pictures of fish only have to stand me. :cool2:

PD:I think it's the only fish using the mako

Never because my dogs eat raw meat in the first place.
