Conditions were beautiful this morning I hope others got out. We got 7 lobsters and I didn't have my gun with me for 2 cudas, a red grouper, 1 mac, 1 king, 2 lionfish, and 2 hogs - one of which was the biggest I'd ever seen. The Massive hog was about 20 feet from the biggest lobster I've ever seen down here. Sadly I didn't get either of them. There were 3-5 lobster under this one ledge that goes back 10+ feet with just a few small access holes in through the top. I am now devising a way to make a 12' lobster noose just for this location. I would estimate that none of the lobsters at the back were under 2 pounds. I marked it on my GPS and will be going back there to devise a way to get them out. I have never seen so many great fish in less than 25' of water. Conditions this afternoon were much worse, afternoon winds and outgoing tide made for murky water and steep waves.
Mike that sounds like a great day. Are you able to do any afternoon diving this week?
Nice. Enjoy. I have heard the plastic
Lenses are very difficult to deal with as far as scratches so baby that mask and avoid any scratches
On some of our Swiss cheese reefs I have some luck anticipating their path. If I guess right, patoiinnnngg! Dinner!, guess wrong and never see him again.
Nothing to offer about dogs. I find mine occasionally in holes. Rare for me
Nice pics of the tribe though. Stellar fish
Hahahaha you all are alright
Next fish I will pose w a bottle of balvinie mmmmm single malt
Today was a nice chance to dive in some deeper water. I haven't been in more than 35' in a while and it was nice. I was embarrassingly out of shape but it was still nice hahaha. Best dive of the day was 42' 1:02 , deepest was 50' nothing to brag about but that pressure at 45' feels good when you have been shallow
I used the skinning first method as described in Duskydivers report thread
This was the easiest method I have ever used but given the thickness of this guys skin it still took like 20 some minutes to fillet that big boy
I figured it was about time to make a thread to post some of the scaley friends I invite over for dinner from time to time.
Was able to get out today with Tito and his son and Henry and his son for some nice action off Miami
We dove some boulders some piles of pipe a nice wreck and some reef in 35'
There was a layer of puke on the top the closer we were to govt cut but nice vis below. A little particulate in the water
Great above water conditions. Light wind from the south. One foot, large period swell at the end of the day, flat at sunrise
I managed a schoolmaster, a dinner size cuda and my PB trigger. He will be ceviche very soon ![]()


5.7 lbs gutted
You have a gift.
Is it custom? Reputable maker? That is a high price tag so it had better be amazing.
Mostly I just avoid the full or no moons and it is manageable
Fell through. Work and weather turned us away
Can you share the details of the gun?
Ry. Lots of better builders will hopefully chime in, but I think both woods make for fine spearguns. I believe teak is denser
Interesting. Never thought about the cold since we don't usually deal with that
Sounds awesome man
Turtles are pretty amazing
Sorry about your dizziness. Did it go away ever? Once you were on the boat?
I will hopefully be there w a flag for you
for the non simpsons fans.....
Dan every dealer I've delt with charges dealer fees, tire disposal fee, battery fee etc..and taxes the fees which is BS. I stay away from dealers as much as possible since most cars are quick fixes to make a buck, private sales are the best to find a better deal.
I have less of an issue with fees that are associted with costs or services that can be identified...the tire place has to pay to dispose of the tire, if they didn't I would, I dont mind that one, same with dead batteries.
Also, they will waive the fee and let you keep the tire or battery so you can do it your own way...springfield tire fire here i come
