The continuing sagas of the Blue Heron Bridge

Great dive today! Saw Jet and Bob but the best part was finally seeing a long lure frogfish! Been looking since last summer and was getting annoyed with myself :depressed:View attachment 94515View attachment 94516

Looks like it would have been pretty darned easy to have missed this one, too. Great find!

Is anyone diving the bridge on Friday (5/13) or Saturday (5/14) and can I tag along? My son has to work this weekend.

Does anybody know the symptoms and how to treat Bridge withdrawal? I'm heading up to Long Island to see family for a couple of weeks. That will make it at least 3 weeks without diving the Bridge. I'm gettin' the shakes already thinking about the lack of zero gravity.

Take lots of video before hand???

Bob - Hopefully you'll have internet? So you can at least live vicariously?

Nice dive up there again today. The current was so ripping when we first got in I thought I don't know if I can do this! Today's goal was frogfish. I had intel on four. Four!!! And came up empty. I saw FishEyeView at one point and signed "I choked." Hopefully he had better luck but he gave me the shrug sign, too.

But how can you ever have a bad day diving at Blue Heron Bridge?!? How can you ever have a bad dive when you get to leave work early? We saw the yellowhead jawfish again, the cutest-ever juvenile trumpetfish who was maybe 6" long ( I thought at first it was a pipefish but look at his tail), tiny hogfish and a little guy I can't say for sure if it was a blenny or jawfish.



The octopi are getting bigger and less shy every day. As I swam around, the soundtrack for another video came into my head. Stay tuned.

Were they assigned or did they pick each other?

Joanie,
I think I know that eel. He has an injured jaw. Hides a lot. I love seeing your photos esp when I see an old friend- good to know they are still there. Now I need to check on friendly seaweed blenny in the bike handle. Hope he is still there & didn't get dislodged when his home moved (now how did that happen?).
Not sure I like the new look of the board but guess I will get use to it. Where do I look for messages or will they still pop up? Took me 3 tries to type this.

It was nice to finally meet you Joanie.

I figured you made the choke sign for the one we were looking for at that spot. I found Mr Potato Head. I'll post pics after I wake up.

I shot this one on a tire at the bike on Wednesday and it came out of a bit of metal tubing that easily could be a handlebar!!
