Diving off Stuart for Spearfishing and Lobster

[EKKsoldier622]

I have a very good buddy that owns a boat and w're going to check out some spots for spearfishing and lobstering before season ends, in the next couple days.

What can you tell me about these places, and any others I should consider

• Loran Tower Ledges (mod 80'?)
• Peck's Lake for lobsters (MOD?), apparently I can only lobster here.
• 6 Mile Reef (MOD?)

He also recommended the area just outside the stuart inlet, just south of bathtub reef, for some lobsters

I'm going to drop by Deep Six. I just wanted to hear some input (google only took me so far this time)

Be prepared to see a ton of dangerous bullsharks.. I am very serious.

What Dumpster said....big time.
That area really begs for local knowledge.
It can be a blast, and it can be very dangerous for reasons like:
current, fast changing conditions, great viz to bad viz in 20 seconds, and the biologicals can be pretty interesting.
Good luck to you!

We snorkel on the Loran Tower ledge, don't think I ever got to use tanks on it. Big long ledges, should be able to get some dinner. You may want to consider sending the fish up on floats for the drfting boat to pick up. When the vis is good, it is very cool. You may see cubera, cobia and will defintely see: snappers, porgy, triggers, sheepshead and did I mention sharks?

Hearing some stories of these sharks is the reason why I don't put the Sandpile on the list as well.
