Synopsis

A ridge of high pressure will be located over the South Florida waters through the middle of the week before shifting north during the latter part of the week. The forecast for late this weekend becomes highly dependent on the evolution of a strong tropical wave over the central Atlantic. This wave is being monitored by the National Hurricane Center for likely development into a tropical cyclone. The forecast track of this potential system is in the general direction of the regional waters and should be closely monitored by all marine interests over the coming days.

So yeah even though forecast called for pretty fair conditions it was blowing hard from a bout 11am till 5'ish...all reports on the radio where consistent with Foweys report, so it was a hoopla of a day-Black grouper, Mango snapper Snapper, Hogfish snapper everywhere..anywhere...everything...anybody any reports????? I'd like to hear them? Ritchie, Juan, Henry, Trevor, Fabian????

Well hopefully someone will chime in, and hopefully that cyclone will move out merrily on it's way so we can go out on another Florida spearfishing charter!

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