Naples Artificial Reef Report - Tod Shirod

[IncreaseMyT]

Top to bottom vis today on the artificial reefs, it was a little chilly at 71 F though lol. "Tod Shirod" is about 13 miles offshore of Naples. Waves were flat today we could run 35 MPH. Thousands of Drum on the culverts and big Mangroves hiding behind the small fish. No current and you could easily swim the whole reef twice, max depth is 40ft.

Not that many Goliath there today which is weird because they are usually stacked up there. Towards the end I did see a 500 pounder but he only came out of the pile for a minute to check me out.

My spear was a little rusty Lost a very big Mang, probably 25 inches or more. Did hit a small one though. Short day but was still a lot of fun.

Me and the Scuba Outfitters crew

I don't really sorry, first time diving on my boat this year and I spent all day getting the boat ready making sure we had everything I forgot the camera, well I forgot to charge it. I will be out there in a couple weeks, and be on some other artificial reefs right by there and I will get some video.
