Jobert and I went diving Fri. and Sat. with Nailman out of Sarasota. Friday Bubba and Lisa were also on the boat diving that day. We had flat seas and great weather. Got lots of mangrove snappers and a few gags that day. But the highlight of that day was Nailman shooting his PB cubera, weighing in at 63lbs. gutted. The cubera had no fight after Nailman stoned it on the first shot! You should ask Bubba & Lisa about the shark that was boated! We had a great day of diving. Really enjoyed having Bubba and Lisa on the boat too! They are a great couple!

Saturday, it was myself, Jobert, Nailman and Brodie's wife Leanne! Leanne doesn't dive, but she sure can hook-n-line fish! Rarely saw her without a pole in her hands the whole day. We had great conditions this day too. Dove an airplane wreck about 150', where there was lots of activity in the water column at 80'. Amberjacks, sharks, African Pompano, Permit, Spade Fish. Lots to look at and shoot at. I landed my first African Pompano and an amberjack on that dive. Nailman got a nice 60lb AJ on that drop too. Viz varied from spot-to-spot. Lots of different fish landed throughout the day. Red grouper, gag grouper, black grouper, mangrove snapper, genuine snapper, lane snapper, african pompano, & amberjacks.

Thanks for the hospitality Nailman! Looking forward to you diving with us soon!

Always look forward to J & J coming to visit because we seem to get a PB out of it on something!!!! Nice to have B & L living so close to the boat as I really enjoy having them on the boat. Great weather and great frinds make for memories that will last a lifetime. Happy labor day friends.
