Headed out this Friday with a few friends for another spearfishing adventure off of Fowey Rocks...conditions were pristine! Water was T-B in most areas some a bit hazey. Wind was under 5', seas under 2', bright and sunny comfy in a shorty, although we hit a pretty strong thermocline around 70' (thermo started at about 40'), and talking 'bout strong...current was ripping, probably due to the full moon, which of course being May means "Romancing Muts" (no not a porn flick )The plan was to do some bluewater spearfishing around Fowey Rocks then hit some reefs for the usual hogs, snappers, grouper, etc.

Well plans got changed and we went to the reefs first, as we spotted some very nice spearfishing bottom on the sonar. We found a very nice "taverny" area that was loaded with decent fish, and the fun began!
We saw plenty of fish including quite a few sand tiles in the 50'ish...although viz was awesome the current made it quite challenging.
We managed to spearfish a mixed bag including a 30" Mut clipped after a very tedious stalk, thus the May Mut Romancing Extravaganza has begun, also pulled a couple of slab'gos 23"&25" out of the taverns.
A nice gag, and another nice 23" mut and some hogs gave us our fix for the day....bluewater.....to be cont.........

yeah, i get that alot...i know your trying to do good for that post I read yesterday, don't let it happen again, buddy:chatup
 
Nice mut!! Looks like you guys had a good day out there... maybe too good lol :friday
 
Wow, I haven't heard of anyone having that much luck at Fowey for a really long time. Its said to be really fished out. I'm definitaly not just going to drive by it like usual, seems to deserve another chance. If you don't mind, were you close to brewster reef (just south of light house) or North of it? Beautiful formations, but no big fish to be found were my experiences. Great job!!!
