Crap viz on East Coast - Any Rides to the Grounds?

All the reports as of Thursday from some of the fish house divers show the viz has taken it's annual dump on the Centeral East Coast. Some of the best reports yesterday were maybe 2' from Sabastian to Daytona. There's too many big fish to be had and I hope to find a boat going deep on the Leftside to make a good showing in the SPO.

I'm not down with Braille diving!!

I dove out of Pompano on Wednesday and the vis was 30' with a
1 1/2 knot current in 210fsw. If this helps at all.


Dago.

I also heard the sea lice are heavy from 1 mile out to 30 miles out from St. Aug to Ft. Pierce. Not for me thank you.

All of the runoff from the rain seems to be the issue. There's a high alert for bacteria from all of the sewer mains breaking on the right side too. Seems the grounds is the place to go for clean water. I know five boats that have gone to plan B, the Gulf!

Sounds like an East Coast red herring report to me
