Shark Tales Report 4-6-08

We started the day with rain, wind and lightening. We ended the day with wind, rain and lightening. But the middle 8 hours was B E A U T I F U L ! Light chop, top to bottom vis, and nice water temps. We ended the day with 6 Groupers and one 40 lb Cobia shot off a Bullshark. (Sorry, no video today due to camera issues) Chuck managed to nail two Gags while they were running for the hills, and Danny stoned a Gag just to show me he could do it. My Cobia beat the crap out of me and my two groupers behaved went to the boat quickly. All in all, a very nice day on the water. One of our divers lost a Cochran Dive Computer on the deep ledge near Jupiter. If anyone finds it please let us know. Thanks!

sucks about the dive comp. Excellent fish though. I was really hoping to see some good spear footage before turning in for the night. Oh well. Good report all the same!

Re: Shark Tales Report 4-6-08

We didn't a single cobia all day in Jupiter, but that is one fat headed beast you nailed John! Sucks about the expensive computer, but someone will find it on that popular ledge.

Re: Shark Tales Report 4-6-08

I'll keep an eye out. I should be out there Wednesday. Did you lose it at the first deep ledge or the one further North?
