Carrabelle Spearfishing report! 3-16-02 Capital City Dive Ch

Spear Bender · Post by **Spear Bender** » March 21st, 2002, 6:05 pm

The day started out with a 10 knt wind & heavy fog. While others stayed at the dock waiting for the fog to clear! Team Surface Interval turned on the radar and headed out! 14 miles offshore the fog cleared lending a perfect view for the remaining 6 miles. Seas were a mere 1-2 with some HUGE rolls mixed in for fun! Upon arrive Team Mutual Fun passed by "Surface Interval" and hooked up a nice 40" Amber Jack (we didn't even get the marker dropped yet)! seas continued to lessen as the day progressed. The dives were great with a horizontal Vis' of 30-40' and a vertical vis' from bottom to boat..! Amber Jack were stacked thick as bait fish and all were 28+. We ended up with our limit on the first dive and then did 2 more dives chasing Grouper & Hog Snapper.. Now it was 1:30pm, so we decided to return to the dock and watch spear bender clean fish.. A great day with the seas laying out to 1' or less!. Hope everyone had as good of day on the water as we did with Capital City Dive Charters..

Hey SB where have you bin??
The Capt mentioned some thing about chasing tail

We were out on Friday inching our way down the river until TSI showed up and we ducked in behind until we were out of the fog.

Thanks K.
