Re: Current Vis - Tampa Bay Region (Homosassa to Sarasota)
Went 5-10 miles west out of N Pinellas this weekend in about 20-30 feet. Viz was dogshit. Could not see the bottom until you were actually on it. Horizontal viz was some of the worst I've seen (maybe 5 feet?).

Re: Current Vis - Tampa Bay Region (Homosassa to Sarasota)
Out of JP yesterday (2/19). Battled some crazy fog slow poking out about 18 miles or so. No wind or waves pretty much all day. Viz in 60 - 75 feet of water was outstanding. Water color was nice. Probably had 30 feet or more of viz horizontal and vertical. Found some real nice hogs and some keeper red grouper, something we haven't seen in forever. Gags and American Red Snapper on every spot and nice sized. Grabbed a big spiny lobster and 3 slipper tails. Three trips in a row in this general area that we've gotten a spiny and multiple slippers.

Re: Current Vis - Tampa Bay Region (Homosassa to Sarasota)
It was 65 degrees top to bottom. With how warm it is up top, not really a big deal in 5 mil suit.
