We went out today as it will probally not be any good for a while. Vero beach a few miles south of Sr-60 not to clear , maybe 3-5 feet. We got six from one to five pounds in about an hour as I had to work in the afternoon. Cloudy and glassy but not very clear. Oh well, always another day, hopefully soon!

We'll it's been 2 months of no scuba due to dirty, choppy slop. Today was a pretty fair day for clarity about ten feet, cold though. Saw lots of schools of Pompano. We got five lobster on one tank in about 10 feet of H2O and left. Biggest about 5 lbs. Maybe this upcoming week the weather will cooperate.

Well the season has ended, and what a season it was! 42 lobsters over ten pounds were caught and over 200 between 3 and ten lbs. It's gonna be hard to beat that next season. We'll do our best and see what happens!

Did anyone else see the Surfrider Foundation link about a lobster "poacher" trying to hide spiny things from the warden by stuffing them down his "drawers?"
http://www.signonsandiego.com/...999-1s11outdoors.html
The odd thing about this story is that his money fine was only $500 after now four separate arrests. They said he had chronic disregard for the lobster laws, but only $500 after four arrests? I think they would ring us up over here on the east coast for a lot more moola than that...

We went out yesterday and today from the park by the UDT Seal museum in the canoe. The water was crystal clear, about 40 ft viz. Diver Doug pulled out 12 both days, all between 3 and 10 lbs. Needless to say the freezer is overflowing! Hopefully the boat will be running soon, as i am tired of paddeling the canoe after him!
It might be good later in the week if the wind dies!

Drove down to Wabasso today to check vis. Not good at all. If you want to beach dive, you will probably need to go south of Stuart.
Good luck.

Took a look and it wasn't good. There is a swell for sure and it is clouding it up. I'll be in a plane later today and will get a better look at it then.
