scouted some new territory and was impressed, very virgin w/ alot of fish life...bad viz though, very good chance of cleaning up though.
report by my dive buddy kevin (on another forum...check it out all east coast usa divers... www.scfreedive.net ) Heck i think that is what it was called? Well the trip certainly didn't have a pleasant beginning. The cold rain sucked but my extremely expensive rainsuit kept me pretty warm!! We got to the landing in good order and Johns friend Rob met up with us and served as the local tribesman, guiding us on our safari for more inshore spearfishing! After some rod fishing ( I know shame on us) I jumped in for a look see. Mostly to try and alligator up on a Egret snoozing by the bank. Oh ya John caught a nice flounder with a fish head for bait. The viz turned out to be pretty huntable by our standards and we picked up anchor and moved to a more suitable bottom of oyster beds. After being in the water for less then five minutes i had shot two sheepshead and John was on his way over...float and all. After helping me stringer the fish we didn't have his face in the water for 15 seconds and he jerks up a giant of a sheeps. This thing was "mongoloid" to say the least. If i new how to post a pic on here i would. I will send it to john in an email...maybe he has the skills? WE later went on to hunt a "jetti" and each got another sheepshead. They were there, and we could have hunted lots of different structures for more fish. A return trip is penciled in when the water and time permit. The Jedi Divers are at it again, in merky water near YOU!!

Nice fish John! Has it gotten cold up there already?I went out thursday and the water was crappy with 1to 2 foot viz. I don't
understand it ,I looked at the surfcam on the beach the day before and the water was bluish green and I figered it would be clear at the spot I go .Usually it's clearer at the spearing spot than on the beach but this time I struck out.Today the water at the beach was cleaner so maybe it's getting better.

Water temp here is about 79 degrees.Still warm enough to not wear a suit.Winds will be out of the southeast this week so maybe it will bring some clear water from down south.

The new vest? How's it fit? You call that a sheepshead?

we stomp around there frequently during the winter...sharks and weather permitting
 Those big sheepies have fillets identicle to red snapper. In fact I have a buddy with a world wide wholesale operation and when they are out of RS they ship sheephead....
