Went out Friday the 25th with Catherine and Brian, Catherine had to work in the morning and Brian had to be home before too late because he is taking a trip to Cancun. So we went out around 12:30-1:00 pm and were back by around 5:30. Conditions were good, 10-12 knot wind from the east . Visibility on the reef was a chalky 30-35 feet, and on the bar it was about 55 feet. There was a 1.5 knot west bound current on the bar.

Beautiful day yesterday, Cal, Brad , Catherine and I went out. It was flat calm most of the day with less than 10 knots of wind. The plan was to run west but once we got out near Boca Grande the vis on the main reef was less the 20 feet so didn’t go any further. In the deeper water the vis was a hazy 50 feet.
Water was hot, and fish where scarce, did a lot of drifting in around 50 feet. Didn’t see much, picked up a barely legal black off some rocks.

Went out yesterday with Brian and Catherine. It nice at first , 10-12 knot wind 40-50 feet of visibility on the main reef. We hit some rocks in front of Key West.
We shot some hogs and some mangroves didn’t see much else we were only in 25 feet of water and it was kind of dead on the bigger fish.

Went out yesterday with Catherine, didn’t really need any fish so I left my gun in the boat. I took some pictures and Catherine practiced free diving onto the schools of spawning mangroves. She is excited to be able to hunt the fish in 40 feet of water now, as was I a little bit ago. She is at the level now where her depths will increase rapidly, I think. I think such a big part of free diving is just mental, I went for being happy with shooting stuff on the bottom in 35 feet, to shooting at stuff at 60-70 feet pretty quickly. I don’t think there was a major physiological change in my body. I just relax more, and the good visibility helps.
