Slick ocean, diving

Saltwater Offshore Reports

Got an invite to dive on the High Yield with a great crew. Viz around 30/40’ no thermocline and the ocean was flat calm. Mor bugs then fish today and ended up with 12 bugs a nice hogfish a few grouper and some nice flounder. caught some really large bugs today but half still had eggs and were released. Had some new divers on the crew today that shot a Large Grouper (turned out to be a sponge) and missed a few good ones but everybody dove safe and we had a great time. The Capt did a great job keeping such a large boat over the divers and on spot recovering the lift bags. Lot of big red snapper out there today!

Showoff, Ricky had a great day!

If it got any better I couldn’t stand it.

Some good eats for sure.

Nice haul as usual… I’d love to know how that sponge tastes, I hear they are outstanding with drawn garlic butter and grits!

I bet sponges just soak up flavor. I’d go for a butter and white wine truffle reduction.

I would go diving for bugs and grouper, but panicking when my foot hits the water presents a slight problem. Great shooting, catching, fishing or what ever you call it!
