It was that bad long before the middle grounds. we didn't make it anywhere near there. We all weighed a fish but it was a day to have stayed home and drank at the bar.
One of my friends was off of New Port Richey on gag opener day. Normally, within eye sight. They see 2-4 boats max. where they go. They honestly counted 33 boats. Just like the last few years. In 2 weeks, almost everything inshore that's legal size will be gone. Also, the water is warming up fast. Algae bloom. Then, maybe red tide. Not trying to sound gloomy. Just the facts. Again, thanks for the invite and really nice video of your MG trip.
Thanks for the invite. Would rather go to the MG than local. I have already committed for June 1. Weather looks great for going there. Post or send me a trip report. That NW area will have some neat stuff and under 100' depths. I'll someway be getting out there soon.
I have my 32 Stamas on Isle of Capri just inside JP. I’m always looking for buddy’s to dive with my boat or yours. Which cat do you have? I have every other Wednesday and Thursday off and every Friday if you have weekday availability with less traffic. I have been diving nitro 7 years with 3-400 dives tanks and gear all serviced.
