Tuna Seazure trip on Saturday 06-20-15

[greymutt]

The Tuna Seazure was back out on the water on early Saturday. While we couldn't visit our first chosen site due to another boat being tied on that wreck, or second choice did not disappoint. Conditions at the bottom of this sandy wreck were excellent with at least 20 foot visibility and once again we were tied in quick. The first fluke were brought up on the first dive, along with a number of lobsters and sea bass (and Kenny got a single winter flounder). Second dive on the site was fruitful also as more lobsters and fluke came up.

Final toll was almost a dozen lobsters, a number of fluke, winter flounder, sea bass, and several pieces of brass. A good day on the water and we were back at dock before the seas got nasty.

We'll be running Saturday and will decide where at the dock but less then 100ft. Always looking for people, call the shop if you want to go. The shop number is 610 631 2288.

What are the bottom temps? Thanks.

 

[greymutt]

48 degrees at depth (75 feet); temperatures just two weeks ago were 55 degrees; The hang is very pleasant with temperatures in the mid-60's

I've talked to John about going out with youse some day, but I'll be diving in a wetsuit. Think I'll be able to dive before August (without freezing my tail off)?

Absolutely - 55 degrees or better should be fine. High 40's is just a bit cold - but I can stand 30+ mins of that temp - but at 45 mins I am getting cold and the next dive I am starting out cold... So I like it in the mid 50's or better...
