Venice Pier with Suncoast Reef Rovers (our annual clean up)
in @ 10 am in for one hour
Tide was low at 8:15 am
Winds NE 11 mph becoming ENE 15 by noon
Seas calm, light current
Temp 77 degrees
Viz was about 1-2 ft
Max depth 17 fsw (that was at the end of the pier) Midway hit a sandbar at 3 fsw
Various finds (fishing line, hooks, lead, nets, PVC pipe, camera) but what was most interesting is the amount of sand that has washed in since the front came through last week. Numerous crab traps buried as a result and unable to be dug up. Most disturbing find was a dismembered sting ray that someone was using for bait. Only the horse conch were feeding on it.
