They are plentiful here on the Gulf coast. We try to only shoot males and they are usually over 14" and up to low 20"s in shallow. We leave the harem of females and the larger female will become the dominant male over time.

Don't underestimate the rest of the crew. Everyone shot their share and actually Dave and Ed shot most of the nice fish on Saturday.
I don't know Dave, and Ed is no slouch but I've only dove with him once. I didn't mean any disrespect to any of those guys.
C
No surprise with the "Dream Team" there. Between Ed's chum and knowledge, and GR and Jason diving, wow. The fish never stood a chance. 100' for those guys is a cakewalk.

Nice fish bro and great pics! I was diving Marathon this past weekend and we saw several AP's as well.
Wrecks or the humps? Atlantic or Gulf?
I thought the new rules said no diving within 300' of shore/bridges/piers.
Maybe someone can clarify.
That's called a bunion.
I haven't tested the H Dessault f/p. So I can't speak for them.
I tested several other pockets and I found the softest to be the Beuchat, the Mares, and the OMER Stingrays.

I want to dive there so badly...welcome.
Are those yellow jacks? Or jack crevalles?
Why didn't he shoot one when they first approached?
C
Nice mangrove. Did the other side of his face look worse?
What does semi-private wreck mean?
I accidentally shot him right thru the eyes.
Semi-private means a wreck that only a few people have the coordinates.

I shot this guy off a semi-private wreck in 100fsw. Vis was around 20ft, and I shot him at 42ft depth. He's my personal best mangrove snapper at 6.25 lbs.

PM me you number. If I'm heading out I'll call you.

There aren't any secrets to holding your breath longer. The more you do it and better you get at it. You just need to keep at it and slowly progress every year. Getting better too fast can easily get you in trouble. The only thing i could say is to try to keep your head tucked in for a longer time to be more streamline and work on your duck dive.
How deep is the bottom?
The bottom was 160fsw. The fish were hanging at 75' down.
C
Nice day. Clear water. A few nice fish.
Any advice on improving my breathhold? I needed to get to and hang at 60-70' to get the APs. Right now I'm only comfortable at 50' for under a minute.

A few weeks ago, with Roberto - scuba.
I have a Beuchat with reel I bought from Sasa which I'm dying to shoot more.
You headed out this weekend?? Roberto just backed out and I'm looking for a ride.
One of these days I hope to get out again on that flashy ride of yours.
(Dave walked me out to it while you were out of town. That wrap looks great!)
Maybe Thursday.
The baby Permit taste better.
