Was out running the boat and poking around 24 looking for new spots while gags are closed. The vis was good in the afternoon. Some of the chunky stuff around, but didn't hurt the vis....

I have a 1988 yamaha 115 which runs like a top, but I unplugged the overheating alarm secondary to shorts making it alarm falsely and frequently....very annoying. Since the motor is very old, I figure it's worth the risk. I do check the "peeer" often. While running on the hose today, I not...

I know the dozers run pretty thick in 80 to 90 ft plus out of c belle and west from
There. How shallow to they run. I've heard dumped of 40 ft? Wondering if it's worth looking with a light in the non jewfish infested natural bottom areas?

No problem Tom.....trigger pulling clears your mind.

We were looking forward to the good weather that had been gorgeous the past few days. Being the first boat to lanark was a rarity for us, but welcomed nonetheless. The rise our was slick and stayed that way the whole day... I wish it was always like that... We rendevouxed with our partner boat at so...

Hoping to squeeze In a few dives 8-4 and was hoping someone could report good vis????? Will report back after we go. Also want to check out the new lanark mart!

Even though the Feds have hosed us on the gags, we thought we'd harass the hogs and maybe a few red grouper. The red snaps havent been in shallow this summer as they have the last few years. Thankfully the snouters have taken up the slack. We met up at crumbs at 530 (whose idea was that? .....oh yea...

First off........Murk may not be the beat forum name if your moving in to diving, especially around here. As far as guns go....there are several considerations... If you are freedivivng, longer guns with reel attachments are common. If scuba, shorter more rugged types are good.. Many guys around her...

Spoke to a friend who has had to move while fishing for red grouper to get away from keeper gags....

From the looks of the diving threads, we must be the only ones diving..... Hoping to put some nice hogs in the box (thanks to FWC giving our state water gags to the feds) we got a fairly early start and headed out in reasonable seas.. Our hopes were high as the water color looked good and the tides ...

Buddy of mine has a 1974 Mako 20ft with a modified V hull (limited deadrise). He just purchased a nice used trailer for it, but is having some difficulties with the bunks. It has 2 main logitudinal bunks in the back and 2 pivoting longitudinal bunks forward. Right now the bunks sit just outside the ...

Finally got a break to head out for some diving in a friends new/used mako....It turned out to be a perfect maiden trip for the boat. Motor ran great, feet stayed dry, weather great. We weren't sure what kind of vis we would find, but were very pleased. Except for where the gumbo is starting to brea...

Anyone been out from East End recently? Looking for water clarity reports around 35-45 ft........Time to go diving!

Any used aluminum trailers out there. Need one to fit a 1974 20ft mako.....

I know this topic has been beaten to death on several boating websites, but was hoping for local input. From what I've read, even the pathfinders that self bail out the stern still have water intrusion equalling wet feet. This has been blamed on clogged in line valves. Corrective measures mainly hav...
