Crew: Mrs. Salty, Panacea Nike and his buddy Jimmy.
Vis: a hazy 15' in 35', 20' in 40'
Fish were plentiful. Seas were not cooperative in the morning but laid down for the ride in. 1/2 the limit were caught and the other was speared. Panacea Nike won the award for BS as it did not stop all day plus some whining about getting put out on sand. The last two trips PN has rolled on the primo spots, so no more complaining unless you want to pay for a charter.

Mrs. Salty "finally" got the deathstick dialed in after numerous haircuts.
I am new to spear fishing but those look like some big fish. I did not know that hog fish got that big in these parts. That fish PN is holding is huge. DW why don’t you have any pictures of your fish up, from reading your other post I know you got some?
After the red tide inshore hogs were hard to come by. The summer was either blown out or the vis was shot. In the spring small and numerous hogs appeared and now there are some larger ones, 7-8#s.
