08/16/08 La Santa Fe - Few fish and poor viz

  • Pantoja, Sandro and myself found calm seas and poor visibility diving Miami today. It was a struggle for most of the day to find and stay on top of structure. At least the current was negligible and the water temperature warm. There was an interesting thermocline about 4' off the bottom so I avoided lying on the bottom most of the time. There were a few fish taken including these 13-14lb YJ but overall it was very quiet. I hope this storm brought some fish. At the end of the day cleaning the fish at the dock a tarpon showed up to pick up the scraps. We had fun watching it making various passes hesitating to take a bated hook, he finally took it and some line but the hook didn't hold.



  • Diver A shot the fish being scaled but upon retrieval, the YJ at the bottom of the picture swallowed it and SH49 took the shot dislodging the diminutive prey from the shaft. SH49 succesfully retrieved the YJ along with the questionable (mutton?) incognito fish. Who does the baitfish:D belong to?
