Nice day on the water yesterday, but we got a super duper late start. We did a single dive on the way out, but had some difficulties. I had a foggy spot right in front of my left eye (couldn’t clear it out to save my life) which makes you lose a lot of depth perception looking out of a mask and greg’s dive computer battery died. We managed to pop a nice gag (19-20#) and a real big scamp (#17-18#). We had so many cigar minnows circling us, we could hardly see each other. And then it happened… As I was digging the scamp out from under a rock, I looked back and saw my girl pointing Greg’s loaded spear gun at a hog fish. She nails it and ends up killing her first fish underwater at 104’. How many 24 year old girls can say that they are putting groceries in the cooler at 104’ with a 52" spear gun, in 20’ of viz with an Aluminum 80 strapped to their back? Awesome stuff!!!
Fishing was a little slower. We tried some brand new spots that didn’t pay off all that well. We ended up catching 2 more scamps on R&R a bunch of healthy pinkies (including the biggest I have ever seen), a skrawberry groupa, trigger fish, 3 40-50# AJ’s, some cudas, and some big jolthead porgies. The barracudas are endless out there. We probably had a half a dozen or more fish get bit in half. I really wish I had a pistol out there for some top water cuda action. That could have been some fun in the sun.
Nice Skinneej! That is really cool for the girl friend as well.
Enjoy these times. The times she “likes” fishing and hunting with you. Buy her some nice gear and let her tell you how much she enjoys “the sport” and “spending time with you.” Then one day you will ask her hand in marriage and she will say “I do”… Then you are done. My girlfriend use to go diving, fishing, camping, and hunting with me all the time. Now that she is my wife… not so much… Well at all.

Wow I finally made my mark.
I got that off a poster I had back in the college days. The poster says it is from “Stripes” the movie I have not seen the movie but I thought the quote was pretty funny.
Now you know the rest of the story… Good day.
