I've been spearfishing with you and I also have seen what a pretzel a 20 pound jack can do to a 5 foot long spear, let alone a baby GG would do. On the Gulf Coast it will take some discussion to thin the herd that have over taken many wreck sites over there. East coast, Jupiter and below does not see the numbers that the gulf side is seeing.
If we had the shallower wrecks out of Sebastian, say 30-80 feet between Bethel and the inlet they would be covered. Look at the SISA rock piles they are covered with them that either never leave the interior of very complex structure or stay way outside of it avoiding divers. We definitly have the fish poupulation just not the people diving them that the shallower gulf does. I'll bet I could tag 75ish within 1 mile of bethel bouy, and might not have to leave the bouy.
BTW, you've never seen a 20 lbs anything bend a shaft of mine
You going to make it up here for some decent fishing this year?
