Blue Heron Bridge Trolls III

[Nick Steele]

Maybe a little late but had a fun time freediving blue heron over Easter weekend! Seen my first nine arm starfish.

Found a group of lobster in the bridge piling where one recently molted.

Then played peakaboo with this queen angel for 5 minutes or so in between bridges pilings.

Also can anyone Id this? I believe it's a frogfish just can't seem to get which one

Here's the water temp site. We'll be there Monday. High tide looks like 11:20 on Saturday.

re: above---Would be a great resource--if the tide times were not an hour earlier than actual. Went yesterday--saw some squid, had some fun, got chilled after 70 min., tooled around some more, West, viz 15--temp 77.

Hit the Blue Heron Bridge today. The May tide charter seems to be correct. 19 mph winds was not the best conditions so we'll have to go back soon. Wore a 3mm full suit and it was a little to warm, a shorty would have been better. Others were without wetsuits to full with hoods. Water temp was between 79-82. Vis 20+

For accurate tides for BHB---try www.saltwatertides.com and navigate to the Port of Palm Beach. Or, just pick up some free tide tables at Pura Vida Dive and Surf or maybe another shop locally.
