[100days-a-year]

Weather was too bad to bring the boat home so none in Jan.6 so far in Feb,hoping for 50 by May and then...it is on.

Starting to spear lionfish close to home,we had about 80 pounds Tuesday.Water was cool but 30' vis.

For FL I've stuck to springs, rivers, and the keys. I have yet to hit the sites up there. My family has a 25ft jet boat, but we've yet to take it through the breakers and fear it would be too rough. What type of craft do you use? How rough is it?

I've been offshore in anything from a 17' CC to my 20' and bigger boats friends have.Currently I captain a 32' commercial spearfishing boat.The diving here is as good as anywhere in the world at times but it averages 20' vis way inshore 40' midways and better way offshore out of recreational depths.I have looked up in 170' from the anchor to see the boat 360' feet away.Also ran into the bottom,it pays to check regularly on all the forums.

Weather and vis are variable,having buddies is valuable.The shops try to keep up on recent conditions.Normally I won't go out if it's more than 2-4 in my little boat and 4-6 in my bigger boat.
