I agree it was exceptionally fishy. minimal current is the best as the schools tend to disperse and hunker down when it's moderate or higher. it also
helps to have a group of skilled divers/photographers that understand how to minimize any interference with the large grunt/snapper/goatfish aggregations. just returned from the benwood and north/north, super there as well, pics later tonite,,,,,,,,,,,,
