    Thanks guys, yes hau that is a maorisub dentex reel.


    Yes Rolo, I will shoot sweet dreams until it falls apart. Currently those white zip ties are holding it together.

    That is usually how it is diving south of the port everglades inlet. Vis is usually good and no current but when the tide starts going out current picks up and you can see a big yellow wall of colder water in the distance closing in on you.

    Why do you think there are so few of them here? Cuba north coast is fished out but there's always octopus.


    You only see them if you are looking for them. In 18-30ft is where you can see them most, just look for freshly eaten clams near a small hole. I saw 2 of them ripping apart the largest slipper lobster I've ever seen when we went with Ron. I shot one once and it wasn't so good as to put them on my list. The reef squid on the other hand are great.

    I only went once and the vis was excellent, about 25 ft, Saw a bunch of sheepshead, really nice muttons, a dog snapper, huge margate and some skittish grouper. I was there before the lobster season but I hear they have huge bugs.


    I also saw absolutely no fauna, not even a coral or seafan, however everything was covered by urchins.


    Max depth was only about 25 ft because vis in 60ft was zero and cold.

    :0:0Careful with your drinks and fish in the same cooler. The plastic on those bottles has become ridiculously thin. Today my dad took a drink from an unopened bottle and almost puked. I guess a tiny fish spine penetrated the bottle enough so it wouldn't leak but there was some mixing going on.:0:0

    Bagdepot sell padded snowboard bags for under $20. I have one and u can probably fit 2-3 peoples stuff in there including suits, fins, and all.

    Will you be willing to disconnect the float line every time we move to a new spot? :)


    You dont have to disconnect it, your're not zipping up the bag. In my case I use a clip so it's no extra bother. In your case that clip takes more time to take off and on.

    The thing about the cap is having a place to store it. Some can fit it in the hollow space in the handle others tuck it in a sleeve. I'd rather dedicate one side of the console to laying guns and everyone knows not to traverse through there. Gerald always brings a big padded gun case and everyone just lays there guns on that. I used to do the same on my boat with a snowboard bag for bagdepot.com .


    Now that I think of it you can hang a big case off the gunwale. Open it and pile the guns in there, when you're on your way fold the half up to the gunwale again and you have the free space.

    I never find burling does anything. If the fish aren't there they arent going to come out of nowhere.


    I dont think it's worth it for spearos. Just an extra expense for a couple more fish if any. If a shark shows up then you're screwed. For H&L it might be the only way to catch good fish so they have no choice.
