The best bottom in the NE Fla area starts 15miles out.It's rare for a local charter to go past 8-12.The best chance of seeing a large creature like a jewfish,shark ,ray etc... is from 20 miles and out .I saw 3 jewfish Sat. 2 were 100#s or so and one 400#.I never dove any closer than 25 miles.Those distances would run up the price and amount of time to a level most people wouldn't accept.It's hard to justify $100 a head and 8hr days when 4hrs south of here it's $40 and 5hrs.
