With a load of hunters aboard with some new and old faces, Capt Bill would again run south hoping to beat the crowds and the south wrecks have been very productive lately for fish and bugs. We had another Capt aboard today and Capt Bill was able to chill out and observe the ocean from a different orientation than normal. 20 or so minute run later we were on site and found our diver dealing with a bit of current. Today would be an interesting day to say the least. One of those very confused days when the ocean and sky have different plans. A solid 20 knot wind from a generally westerly direction would have all the flags snapping pretty darn good and a strong northerly current that would have the Carolina rig way under the boat today. Surface viz was crap until you got down to the bottom and then it opened up really nice to about 20ft. Bottom temps again would hover right around 60*. The very good spearfishing and bugging would again show up. Cooler would again be a load to get off the boat at days end. At least a half dozen bugs and many Sea bass would be the haul today. Even considering the current a good day was had by all. Even one of our hardier divers would express being tired at the end of the day. Hopefully the stable weather pattern forecasted will let the ocean settle down a little.
Our poor cooler getting another beating:
