With Chris and Virgil, three tanks.
Seas 2'-3 Wind SW early and switched to S later.
80'-90' depth
Hit a thermocline at 50'-60', vis dropped to ~15'-20' and temp on bottom was a comfortable 72.Tide picked up with a vengance early and it was hard enough to suck a bleach jug under. Really tough to work the bottom and made for some drift dive style diver pickups far downcurrent of the mark.

Not a lot of fish out there right now, and the same story for the few lobsters we found. They are still egged up for the most part.

Our weak-ass count:

4 Mangos - 15# largest
1 Hog snapper
2 Lobster - 7# largest

Nevertheless, it was a day off work and we had a good time. :toast:

That ain't so bad.
Still sounds like a good time and good practice dealing with the kind of current.

That was a big go. Thanks for the report.
