Sea was almost flat this morning and there was almost no boats out.
Found a spot off the beaten path that held some fish that had not been shot at for a day or so Saw several 12-14in hogs but could not locate any shootable boars I'm starting to feel a little cool after 4 hours in the water with my 3mm and may soon have to switch up to my 5/3 winter suit.
Saw only a few moon jellies today and the weather is beginning to act more like Miami winter. Ended with 1 mutton and 1 28in mac

Best part about today was getting to see my old friend sdeisen. He saw my truck parked, put in and paddled all the way out to the second reef and found me. We had not talked so I did not tell him where in the whole sea I was hunting. He just instinctually knew where to look for me. :hail1:
I missed a nice mac today, saw a 5f nurse shark that was acting all agitated under us and even came half way up to me when I had a fish on. (I miss my Tin Man muzzle with kill spike).
Ended with some reef fish and one hog.

I got to meet 3 new spearos for the first time today. I was spearin a long way off from them an didn't know their problems. I saw no shootable fish and there were tons of jellies out there and even some man-o-war washed up on the beach.

LunkerBuster--I would be excited, that is a VERY nice bug.
Congratulations on a PB sir :toast2:

The moons are back. I went out to the second reef to look for fish and only got 1 hog and 2 macs. I saw a nice mutton but he was not going to give me any chance to loose a spear

75F raining--79F 15% clouds

Today was a hard decision to go or not as it was raining when I shoved off from the beach, but an hour later the clouds started to break up and the sunshine even increased the viz as the day went on. I saw few boats today and few fish but did manage 2 hogs and 1 32in mac. I only dove the first reef cause of the poor viz. Saw 4 moon jellies and no man-0-war all day today.
One of the best parts of the day was the number of beach buns littering the beach as I returned to shore.
Hope others got out today

I would caution anyone from launching from John Lloyd "State Park" with a speargun.
"Possession of spear equipment: Possession of spears
and spearguns is prohibited in Everglades National Park,
Dry Tortugas National Park and Florida State Parks."
Hope this helps

Congratulations and well done. :toast2:
I love that photo

I got off work this morning and the sea was less than 2f and even had some color.:@ By 8am I was shoving off the beach. As I kept paddling out further and further I couldn't believe I could still see the bottom til I got to 35fsw. My anchor hit bottom and played out 100f of road pretty fast to the south, but I didn't care how much current there was, I was FINALLY back in the water. I was ready to do a drift dive to Key Biscayne. I would have stayed longer if I had been seeing more fish.
Saw 2 smallish turtles that swam up to check me out. In 6 hours in the water I only saw an shot 3 macs and 1 hog, but at least I FINALLY had fish to take back to trade.
Hope others got out today also.

sergio---holy shit those are nice hogs. Congratulations sir :toast2:
