Jack, Francis, Harley and I were looking forward to getting out today after hearing the weather forecast. I am not sure what happened but it was a little snotty in the am and then flattened out to what was predicted.
Our first stop was to be the Great Issiac or one of the other wrecks close by if it was occupied. Its a miracle but no one was any where near it today. It was nice to dive a big wreck like that and it was sure easier to hook than some of the small pieces we go to. After the others started to come up with reports of not so good vis, I was getting concerned. I jumped in intending to make a dive of it no matter the conditions. It was a pleasant surprise when I hit the bottom and had 10foot + vis. We were hooked on the hull side and it was easy to enter the hull and swim through to the deck. Lots of lobster inside but all eggers. We all ended up grabbing some mussels . The wreck looks to be falling apart at a rapid pace compared to our last trip there in 2010.
As it was a little snotty at the Issiac were intended to head in to the San Saba area for dive 2 but as we started to head in the seas flattened quite a bit. Change of plans and we headed to the nearby inshore tug. 1st drop the hook stuck and then pulled out. 2nd drop in solid. The vis here was a little less at 4 to 7 ft but we were able to locate a couple of keeper lobster. With the low vis we all had no idea where we were diving on the wreck so wreck reels were used. Francis if you are reading this I think your reel is with my gear, I will bring it next week!
Well we are all hoping the vis gets better next week and for the rest of the year and into next year...

We're talking about 'Riesling' right ? The wine ?

This is what happens when I'm not on the boat, obviously you let Jack make the decision as to where to go, and remember what happened last trip, he picked the Harry Rush and how did that turn out !!!!!

You are Ancient ! It was my idea and its nice to dive a real wreck , rather then the ones that are burried 20 ft in the sand. We have some fantastic mussels and you don't . To night
angel hair and mussels with a nice bottle of
ristling, to bad won't have anyone to enjoy with,
but will be a real treat. Ancient Mariner you
also missed a BBQ at sea !

It should. We had a great day on the water. Master Chef Harley supplied the chow. Started off a bit rough in the am but flattened out. Fresh lobster and mussels at my house last night and lobster bisque tonight.
Talked to Ken on the radio and he was saying the inshore wrecks were occupied. Are guys wreck fishing for one blackfish and maybe a few small porgies? I guess they are desperate as the striped bass have not really showed up yet.
Maybe we should go back to the issiac next time you come out so you can see how good a dive it is.
There were lots of lobster but mostly eggers, tons of sea bass, a few tog and the gold bars but you can't eat them and they are pretty heavy to bring up.

Easy to find and hook BIG wreck? That hasn't been my observation when I've been with you.
