Well we were there last weekend & vis will be day to day, but we had at least 50 ft on the Dixie Arrow, flat calm seas (which also change sometimes by the hour), lots of Sheepshead, I counted at least 3 Rays, & of course 10 - 15 Sandtiger Sharks.
On the Manuela we had 80ft of vis, a pretty decent mid-water current, lots of Lionfish (pretty big ones too), some Sandtigers, but they seemed shy, & I swear I saw a White Marlin down there.
Seas were pretty big, probably 5-6 ft swells, but at long intervals so it didn't feel that bad.
Water temps in the upper 70s.
This was all Saturday, Sunday the wind was kicking way up there so we bailed. It really gave me a pain when we got back to VB & it was hot, sunny & dead calm wind.
