We managed to put together a dive yesterday. With the strong west wind we decided to stay fairly close to shore. Did a trip to the NW barges. Surface vis was about 15 to 20' with quite a bit of large suspended particles. At about 40' the vis dropped to about 5' and was very silty. Bottom vis was a dark, silty 5'. No keepable lobsters found, no Tog shot, one trigger fish found it's way back to the boat. the ocean laid down quite a bit by the time we headed for the barn. Good to be back in the water and we were lucky to sneak a dive in under the conditions. hoping this clear up by next weekend!
Hey Howard, my crew said they saw you guys gearing up on our way out. Did you dive?
I was not at the boat and we did not go out. I hope they were looking at the wrong boat as I don't think any of us were there. I did take my little center console out of Manasquan Inlet fishing but stayed close to the beach. I also took some dive equipment with me but the vis looked bad so just went fishing. I did get out Tuesday on the Elain B up at the Highlands. We also had poor vis up there. Flat calm seas but dark and low vis on the bottom, and few fish or lobster spotted. Thanks to Stan and his dad for taking us out. It looks like this weekend is a blow out also. All things considered we are getting out more than last year in the fall.
