[scubaken1970]

I started my own charter service I am passionate about spear fishing here is a viedo we did a couple of months ago in 85ft of water during snapper season.We are having really good luck close in in about 12 to 20 ft of water for big blacks.Feel free to contact me if anyone may be intereseted in a trip.

Nice video. Those were all Gag grouper and a few scamps. No true blacks.

I used to spearfish out of Crystal River all the time. Great diving, especially spring and fall.

Its a little chilly right now. What are your water temps?

Good luck with the charters.

Yes we offer full service 7 days a week and yes the season is close to being over there are several srings out there where most fish are hanging out in the spring.

I will be doing allot of trips in the 50 mile range which takes me about 1.5 hrs loaded but trust me that is where the viedo was taken and it is well worth the trip

we have located several wrecks and other spots that are some of the best i have ever seen.

The middle ground trips will be very long trips and will depart out of tampa early and will be a 2 to 3 hr ride

The artifical reef is a good place very spread out so be prepared to ge in and ou of the water allot 30 ft depth so really easy and it is a blast
