Blue Heron Bridge Trolls

[sportxlh]

Snook do hang out near the sailboat that is under the east bridge. Often quite a few of them.

I've also seen snook on the west span, usually between the main bridge pilings, but sometimes just free swimming. Every once in a while, a large school will congregate between the pilings.

Saw some large schools of both chubs and spadefish whipping around that area, making it even *scarier* under there in the dark. . .

Just wait 'til you see the Lake Worth Muck Monster!!

jet and I had the bridge to ourselves this morning. Vis was 20ft max with big ole jellies. 2 spotted eagle rays. It may have been 3 as we saw a single one twice, don't know if it was the same one or not. Found a pike blenny almost right away, as a hiding sleeping seahorse. Jet played with a big ole octopus while I tried to shoot a flabellina. Awesome dive. wow. Been a long time since I've had such a peaceful, serene dive. thanks buddy.

Yes Jenny almost got a full frontal moonie. I had 82 for water temp. One of those incredibly peaceful dives where I think we both forgot we were underwater.

Decided to swing by the Loggerhead MarineLife Center before heading south.

Awesome! With that report, I might have to show up Saturday morning for a slow-poke dive.

Isn't that an oxymoron?

BTW, great pics. I love the babies...

LOL. Anywhere else, yes, an oxymoron. But in the parallel universe we call BHB it makes perfect sense.

Was back up there this morning helping with an IDC. We did our first dive, 50 ft. vis, only a few jellies and warm water. We finished and stood in the shallows chest deep going over the dive and doing the dive briefing for the second dive. I look at a small piece of floating sargassum.. STOP! JUST A MINUTE. HOLD THAT THOUGHT. LOOKIT THIS!! There hanging on to this little piece of sargassum is a the tiniest seahorse I've ever seen. Maybe an inch long. He hung on for another minute then decided he had enough. I swam him down to attach himself onto something more secure, otherwise the sargassum would have beached..
Other notables. A trio of spotted eagle rays lazily gliding past. A star gazaer. twice. the big ole banded jawfish. A batfish. And as we were finishing up dive #2 a small long arm octopus that attached to my hand.

Can't prove it without pictures

Sweet dive today, didn't look at the water temp but vis was in the neighborhood of 30ft+. Of course I didn't take advantage since I was macro hunting. Tibenmiami and I did converge on one of the striated FF's and watched it fervently try to catch a fish unsuccessfully for about 10 minutes.



Found some of those weird anemone looking things on the leaves, and one of them was "open"
