Anyone in the area want to put a team together for one or more of these dates? These are always a great time. :thumbsup2:

Nice job Judah! Let's get out next weekend. Let me know if my number was lost with the phone and I'll text ya.
Next weekend! Miami! Fish on grill! Lets do it.
Judah, Hau; hit me up for some Miami kayak action as well. Haven't done to much down that way but I am down.
Cool thread! I actually have to do this to an entire YT snapper as part of a class this summer. I tried getting as much of the meat off as I could to not be wasteful but that isn't an option if I am to keep all the small bones in place; so now I am starting over.
I am going to get a few YT and try a few methods. I'll keep updates on this thread.
I heard that once skinned one can use coca-cola to dissolve the meat. It's a light corrosive and not supposed to damage the connective tissues and cartilage too much as long as it is monitored. May give that a go as well.
I have to work Sunday (Yea right in the middle of a 3 day weekend :frustrated2:) but I am down no Saturday or Monday.
Welcome brotha! We need to get out soon man. Hit me up. Maybe next weekend me, you, and Judah can get out. Want to introduce the lady to spearing too.
I feel ya on the wallet thing man for sure....but this would be way on the cheap. I'll keep ya posted for sure.
Glad you are OK man; damn boaters need to be more aware. Need to get the plastic navy back out soon.
Awesome trip for sure man! I have a feeling the current on the bolt would have been ripping at depth. I was blown off that wreck once.
Lots of short grouper and a ton of little hogs; not dinner (yet) but a good sign for the stocks in that area.
Next year I hope to have the newer guys a little more seasoned so we can hit some deeper stuff.
May be heading out with Ryan in a week or so around PSL if you are down.
Gerald; stellar bro, thanks for looking man.
Thanks Lou! Yea we are hoping to drop some flashers and do some bluewater while there. Hadn't thought of the hums though; good idea.
Kairo and Wahoo are two of my favorites for sure!
Thanks for the info man!
Bump!
Not looking for a honey hole guys; just some guidance. I know the deeper stuff but we need some shallow stuff for freedive.
If in the Keys feel free to come along!
I still want the Odor bro! Bring it next weekend or to the keys. I calling official dibs.
I am in GA this weekend anyway but if the next is clear it is a possibility. I have to finish my report from my Belize trip soon but I will keep you posted. Need to get the gills wet before the Keys anyway. :cool2:
I think this calls for some research/scout diving up north. Strap the yaks to the truck and lets go brotha.
Lunker, didn't Hau used to live in that area (or somewhere in the keys).
There are hot spot maps and I know a lot of the guys that rent the boats from Hooks leave their way points locked in the GPS as well.
I am going to study some Naut. maps and look at bottom structure to see if I can get some ideas. All the places I know there are deeper and require SCUBA. But there are lots of patch reefs in that area; especially on the gulf side.
Lets get out the weekend prior and get the lungs stretched out.
Maybe cut their arms and legs off and toss them in water. This shit pisses me off.
Welcome brudda.
Getting to be that time of year. Where do you go from typically? I am in Ft. Lauderdale near Las Olas and usually hit by Birch park.
