Catherine , Cal and I went out spearfishing and lobstering yesterday. The wind has finally died down after a week or so. We hoped to go out ot some deeper rocks and chum up some fish, but when we got to drop off the vis was not looking so good. It was about 20 feet tops around sand key, and the bar might have been a bit better but not much. So we headed back in to look for lobsters and try some shallower spots.

Anyone know about Barbados holidays. ? Catherine and I have planning a trip to the Caribbean to check out other islands for fun and to look for perspective places to live. Key West is nice and all but its pretty expensive. For the time being most of our work is done online so it would totally be possible to live in another country and keep our jobs. We were thinking about going to Belize but I was reading on one of the spear fishing forums that Barbados Holiday is worth checking out. Apparently the fishing is good there and spear fishing is allowed. There are bunch of charter boats advertising online. There is also 20 miles of barrier reef ranging for 40 to 60 feet of depth, which is perfect for free diving. A Holiday Barbados. seems like it would be pretty good for both fishing and diving, there are bunch of scuba diving sites also advertising scuba trips to wrecks their off the coast. It also looks like just glancing at one website that you are allowed to harvest fish there on scuba which is different then most of Caribbean where spearing on scuba is banned. But definitely check out those regulations before planning a trip there.

I went out spear fishing with Brad and Cal yesterday, it was flat calm and visibility ranged from 65 to about 20 feet, depending on the tide and proximity to the drop off. Catherine had to work so no underwater pics.

Went out on spearfishing Saturday with Brad, Andrew and Catherine, weather was great, the water visibility on the reef was total crap maybe 10 feet of vis. We headed offshore and there was green water all the way out to 400 fsw. We found a rip there a weed line, jumped in but didn’t see anything. We went out a bit further and it got a bit more blue and hit another weed line found tons of bait fish but the only fish bigger then the bait was a remora. We found a piece of drift wood with baby trigger fish schooling under it .
