Couldn't find anyone that was able to go on such short notice but here's the report. 60' Wreck dive. Surface temp 74, vis about 20 feet no suspended stuff but water was a little cloudy. I only had a couple of hours so I spent most if it mid water waiting for a nice cobe or king. Rigged with floatline, slip-tip etc. Kept seeing sharks 100-150lbs. Looked like spinners working around the bait schools, but made me think twice about shooting anything small. With time running out jumped in with the reel gun and a regular shaft. Made a long shot on the first bottom drop and brought home a nice Mango. Not big by MG or East coast standards from what I've seen but the biggest I've shot (8#). Put it next to a 48 quart igloo for scale.

Thanks for the update. Whats the difference between a mangrove and a black snapper?

no difference, mango's are commonly called black snapper farther up the florida coast
