Blue Heron Bridge Trolls

[sportxlh]

Hello Trolls,
Two questions:
How do you enter BHB from the west side?
Has anybody had "any problems" with the locals?

see Wade's pages regarding entry points.................. Blue Heron Bridge

like any park or beach around south Florida, if people see you stash a purse or wallet in your car as you prepare to leave your car for a while, you stand a better than average chance that your car will get broken into. More than a fair number of friends have had their cars broken into at beaches and parks in Juno and Jupiter and had purses/wallets stolen: and these are locations where no one would ever worry about the locals; having a car broken into at BHB happens occasionally too. Aside from being smart and stashing your valuables out of sight before you arrive, you're not going to have any issues. Also, respect the locals fishing, don't stupidly get your flag line caught in someone's fishing lines, or if you do, be cool about it, surface, apologize and help untangle the line.

Well, technically it's a pole spear, so yes. But.. it would be pretty easy to conceal.. if I were that type of personality..

Did you want fries with that?

Some nice diving on thursday. Water temps are definitely up with an average of about 78 degrees.
Viz in the 25 foot range and nice blue water. An average crowd for a weekday, a good day at the bridge !

Viz down just a bit and water temp up just a bit on friday. Showed 79 degrees on the east side and viz about 20 ft.
Slightly less viz than thursday but still very diveable. A pretty good crowd for a friday, not quite the saturday crowd
but not to far off. The hooded vest will be put away for the season very soon.

Someone mentioned there might be a Force-E night dive wednesday this week ?
The high tide is after sunset so not sure if they do the later high tides after sunset.
I know there is also the getting out of the park by 10:00 thing as well so not sure
how close that would be for wednesday ?

We are flying in June 17-21 from Tennessee and are planning to dive the bridge Monday (17th) and Tuesday (18th) for sure. High tides are 3:40 and 4:40ish. Seeing the posts above, about how late can high tide be so that we can exit the park by closing time? I see that Pure Vida is sponsoring a twilight dive with high tide at 6:41. In order to dive the bridge the last 2 days, would there have to be a sponsored dive? We are contemplating driving to Key Largo for the last 2 days but aren't sure.
Also, is there any way to know what the conditions at LBTS will be like to preplan possibly staying in that area a night?

We appreciate any advice!

Awesome dive today! Thanks Jet for being my buddy. I really needed a zen dive, and Karma delivered. Jet found the first seahorse within 2 minutes of dropping beneath the surface, and shortly after I found 2 jawfish. Cornucopia of critters found, two to still be identified, a slug and a small yellow fish, am thinking its a juvi game fish of some sorts.. Vis was good, but dropped pretty dramatically after the tide change, and was delightfully warmer. Wore my 3mm shorty. Good bye 7 mm till later in the year. Woot!

Whenever Jenn & I dive together we have incredible synergy ... Thanks for getting me up there on a Sunday afternoon. Definitely worth the "third row" parking!

I got home too late last evening to do anything w/ the pics. I'll post a few tonight, hopefully. Viz was 25+ feet, water very blue and temp 79!
