Fowey Rocks, Spearfishing Report

Headed out this Friday with a few friends for another spearfishing adventure off of Fowey Rocks...conditions were pristine! Water was T-B in most areas some a bit hazey. Wind was under 5', seas under 2', bright and sunny comfy in a shorty, although we hit a pretty strong thermocline around 70' (thermo started at about 40'), and talking 'bout strong...current was ripping, probably due to the full moon, which of course being May means "Romancing Muts" (no not a porn flick ;) The plan was to do some bluewater spearfishing around Fowey Rocks then hit some reefs for the usual hogs, snappers, grouper, etc.

Well plans got changed and we went to the reefs first, as we spotted some very nice spearfishing bottom on the sonar. We found a very nice "taverny" area that was loaded with decent fish, and the fun began!

We saw plenty of fish including quite a few sand tiles in the 50'ish...although viz was awesome the current made it quite challenging.

We managed to spearfish a mixed bag including a 30" Mut clipped after a very tedious stalk

thus the May Mut Romancing Extravaganza has begun, also pulled a couple of slab'gos 23"&25" out of the taverns A nice gag, and another nice 23" mut and some hogs gave us our fix, so we headed to the blue for some pelagics- gotta say with all honesty, we really didn't push it, so we really never scored on any blue other than a few yellow jacks we ran into...all in all it was one of those magnificant days your thankful to be in Miami, with great friends, on the ocean....spearfishing!
someone say sashimi.................................................................................................on the way
and of course no trip is complete without this....the Raptor of Pangea pulled thru again!

Till next spearfishing report, tight bands, straight shafts, and smooooooooth triggers!
