Vis Report 12-17

[Spear One]

Got a vis report from Chad at Jims Dive Shop at 6:00pm Tuesday. They were west of Johns Pass about 25nm in 90 ft. and had aout 5 feet of vis. Next dive they went 10 miles south but the vis was no better. Next into 55ft and the vis was less than 5 ft. UGHhh!

My commercial boat left this morning (without me) in a flat calm sea to go Amberjack and Grouper fishin & shootin. They were going to catch up a livewell full of fresh worms just in case the vis was bad , start fishin in 125ft and continue on to 160ft tonight. I will post a full report Thursday morning so you guys will know if there is any vis or fish in the tall water!

It sound like it will take a week or more for the vis to get better, but only if these fronts will slow down. It looks like these big SW & West blows we get off this El Nino are gonna keep things a little stirred up this winter here on the west coast. Ya'll be careful and "Catch Em Up".

spear one do you think your boat will make it back ok

[Spear One]

Certainly, but if you were on board I might make an exception!
You would make a fine batch of shark bait.

hey just got a call from d4b, bob said that they had 5ft of vis in 160. pee soup everywhere and no end in sight. this is so frustraiting! i was suppose to go out with them tomorrow morning and shoot fish all day. the seas are flat calm but the water is nasty.

Were they down south of Egmont channel? Hopefully it was better to the north where my boat went!

Negatory on better to the north. I went hook and line fishing today out of Port Richey, and 25 miles out the vis was obviously bad. I could not see my lead more than 2' under water.
