Dove with Jupiter Dive Center for Mini Season 2025. Capt Ryan put us on some great structure but zero tropical storms and zero flood gate openings to push out the ICW bugs, it was really hard to find lobsters. Oil slick flat all day on the surface, no thermos at all with 81 degree temps, between 1.5 &2.0 knots of current and 50 foot of viz. All the lobsters were singles, no holes had 2 or more and they were all backed up deep in the holes so you had to hug the sand to see antennas. . Also, every bug was deep red and none had any tan or green to them so that all came from down deep and not the shallow ICW. I got my limit of 12, but I could not find a last bug for my lionfish coin to get a bonus lobster. I served walking tacos to everyone on the boat including @CosbySweater . So far, no one got hurt in JUP/WPB and are safe. It's a repeat tomorrow, but going to be even harder.
