Gotta get down that way .."wit da boat"....Now busy with "another" Grand child.....My 4 year olds birthday is this weekend....opened a present tonight,,,,A Henderson wet suit.....Am I pushing it?

Another Grandchild! Great congrts! My youngest and her husband are trying. I'll be celebrating another soon, I hope. No! Not over doing at all. Are you going to buy him one every year until he gets a job or stops growing? My granddaughter is afraid of waves, not even big ones. She runs away in fear, not a good sign. The summner just started. I'm off from 7-1 until 7-9 maybe we can get oursleves and the weather to sync and do GI during that time?

Nice video - very fishy spot. Thanks for posting it. Are there any charter boats down there that regularly dive this site?

Have to admit...it's on the big side...as long as he is warm and gets used to it....The Cape Cod Bay area is usually clear but COLD...Sounds good 7/1-7/9..should be able to put something together

Yeah I really tried at that yesterday! The Arches were cool though - went east to land's end after to get some stripes for dinner but was unsuccessful. Good 15ft viz on average. But was a fun day just to be in the water

Ha - you bet! Big breeding colonies. After I burned through my tanks I did a bit of freediving. Shot through a small crevice with a wave surge into some whitewater where I saw the largest tog I've ever seen - massive female - had to be in double digits pound-wise. My victory of the day was knowing that 30ft was my perfect depth for hunting.

Hey Porgy isn't next week, the week I'm off, the reopening for togs? Or is that this week? Anyway lets get it done! Even a bad day at GI is better than not being there! Shameless I know.
