Hey guys,
I'm headed down to lower matecumbe key tomorrow and will just be there until wednesday night. Is there any good spots for spearing in that area? I know theres the 3 mile rule there still though.
Thanks,
Dane

Dane, out by the red 18 can (buoy), there is a heavy releif ledge and some other ledges... in a very specified area. I'm not with my boat/GPS right now so I can't give you the numbers.... You should pick up some nice snappers and hogs.... and if it were legal, I ALWAYS get a red grouper here due to the areas proximity to sand/patchy grass. Not a ton of help, but all I can give.

Everythings a help. Thanks bro! Whats the depth ranges there. I'm teaching my cousins how to spear. lol

The deep ledges are in 35' or so. I think the general area is from 25' - 40'. ALSO, look on a chart, out by Tennessee reef lighthouse- there is an area that comes up to 28' surrounded by 45' and out to the bluewater. It'll appear as just a little pinnacle on a chart, a bit northeast of tennessee reef and light. It's right on the edge of the reef. This spot isn't a secret, but It's always sweet when I go. You might have to look around a bit, but there should be muttons, mangos, BIG yellow jacks, and ... grouper.
