Went for the first time to the Spiegel grove Sunday, had a ton of yellowtail in our slick, mostly good size. Took home 2 nice ones for dinner, came up with a couple of good sized "head only" after long run offs mid fight, could have been sharks, but also saw a couple large cudas. For how many fish I saw I was surprised how few we caught, like it wasn't terrible, but it felt like it should be every 30 seconds hooking up. gorgeous day on the water, got some really fantastic bait from Captain Pete's

That's why when I fished Yellowtail commercially I fished almost exclusively at night. Didn't see any, but sure caught a bunch! And the clearer the water, the better.

We used to wear them out during the daytime back then as well. Averaged 350# a day in '80.

i dove that artificial wreck over twenty years ago when it rested on its side. Then years later a hurricane pushed it over upright. So now its a deeper dive to reach the deck. When i dove it visibility was over 100 feet.

I think that's the wreck where two divers encountered a 15' Great White a few years ago. They were halfway down and saw a shape in the distance and stopped. The shark came by and turned around so they did what any common sense person would do, they kept going down to the wreck where they saw the shark again! I think I would have needed to change my suit if that happened.
