Re: St. Pete late July

Fishing is great here and diving/shooting fish is great as well. But you won’t likely find lobsters here with your family as mentioned above. There are a few shallow reefs in 20-25’ out of treasure...

Re: Moving to Sarasota from Southern California

I sent you a PM. I live in Saint Pete and my boat is in Clearwater. I freedive as much as I can. In the summer we dive a good bit deeper than 50’ but this time of year we dive pretty shallow.

Re: Current Vis - Tampa Bay Region (Homosassa to Sarasota)

Out of John’s Pass, 7/3. Viz less than 20’ in 50’. Turned out to be very rough waters. Had fun taking to boat for a cruise on my day off nonetheless.
