We had 7 divers for today's trip on the Venture 3 from Belmar. The ocean was calm with about a 1 ft swell, very light winds.
First stop: 120 Wreck. Vis about 10'. Bottom temp 52. A few lobsters rescued, although for such a big wreck with so many holes, there's not a lot of lobsters out there. I think they're moving out to deeper water, or whatever it is that lobsters do for the winter.
Second stop was Rods and Cables. Bottom temp of 54. Viz a little worse, about 5-7 foot. While we were down, the wind started kicking up and I returned to a surface with about 2-3 foot waves. A few sea bass, tog and lobsters rescued here.
By the time we got to our third stop, the Rockland County, the wind and waves had really kicked up. We were getting hit by 5 footers before the day ended. The Rockland County really provided for the hunters though, with several blackfish in the 10 lb category rescued, some smaller ones, and several bags of mussels.
Hope the wind calms down a bit for the divers going out on Saturday & Sunday.
You forgot to mention the 4th dive by Rhode Island Red, Keong.The booty reclaimed on this dive would leave mel fisher green with envy. The artifacts will most surely be linked to ancient pirate treasure,possibly the queen annes revenge ship. The stamina of this man makes me think he could even beat obama in the next election.Go Korea!!!
