Haulover has some great new features, like parking lot cast netting for H/L fisherman looking for bait right in the parking lot :laughing3:

I saw the pics posted over on the florida sportsman fishing forum and thought it was from this same report.

What did you feel cold in? omer 1.5mm or rash guard?

Hubert, do you only dive from Duck key?
My old folks rent a lot at Outdoor Resort for five months (contract with lot owners) during the summer. We take our 33' travel trailer and this lot has a 40' dock, we keep the boat in the water to avoid the trailering hassle every time we get back from fishing. The resort is in Long Key but it's at the furthest (west) point of the key, which is closer to Duck Key. The contract was over on Sept. 7 and brought everything back home to Miami. I try and go off of Miami whenever possible but it's never as convenient or easy as when I'm down in the keys.

Ahh yes, I love that bottom. Muttons seem to like it to:)
Thanks for the vid, Nice Careton!
They sure do, and we were diving those spots late in the summer. Wait till we hit it up in April and May
That is a nice alpha male hog, tell me that bottom doesn't look similar...now the viz is a whole different story

Thanks Dan, I'm sure Jeremy will chime in and maybe he's seen different bottom structure (in 50-80') but these have been my personal experience from a nearby area.
That's Cuba my friend, you should know.

How deep is the water you can get to on those days? I understand that in the keys you have to go a long way out to have 60fsw? Are there any drop offs/walls?
I stay down at MM66 (3 mile bridge) which is on the opposite side of Duck Key (close to Jeremy) and for 60fsw you have to head out (give or take) 4.5 nautical miles. From what I've heard before about Jeremy's post, he usually heads out in a 13ft to 20ft boat. If it's just abit windy this makes it hard to head out that far in a boat that big. From what i've seen off of the 3 mile bridge, the bottom really doesn't have drop offs or walls. The type of bottom i've seen from 50-80' looks similar to canalizo's, it's mostly a reef that has channels of sand 4-5' wide inbetween the reef, that run from the shore out (just a reference, north to south or vice versa)
Here's a video I remember seeing from virgili in cuba that reminded me of the bottom I'm trying to describe: http://www.spearfishingmotion.com/videos.html?category_id=37&subcategory_id=26&video_id=159¤t_page=1

hands down the gayest i've seen :laughing3:
-
sweet, where you right off of Duck Key? The viz is usually horrible there.
-
that's weird, I have the blue cammo alien mask w/mirrored lenses and after giving it the tooth paste treatment, it's never fogged up.

Nice catch guys, it wasn't to windy out there was it..? 2-4 ft seas or 3-5..?
-
Don't blame you for being tired, I had plans to go out last night and after unloading the gear off the truck and taking a shower...... I was knocked out and had to cancel.

Sorry Spora,

At first glance I didn't see your loader and was wondering why the pic but then I noticed it to your right. I gotta admit it doesn't get more ghetto than that :thumbsup2: WTG Sporascrub for being generous with your personal gear :laughing3:
I posted a pic of a seac loader that I use in post #24.
