Made a trip out to the M24 area this past weekend with Tom, David and Joe. This trip was David's first dive trip in some time and Tom was a great coach in helping David get back into the mask (so to speak). We found the morning seas to be 1-3 but the afternoon smoothed out to less than a foot. Water temp averaged 77-78. The fishing was great. Visibility was perfect for shooting though a little low for site seeing. Don't remember the fish count but we got Grouper, sheepshead, triggers, mangroves and a spanish. Wanted to report that I also saw a lot of baby hog snappers so it seems they're coming back.
Here's a shot from Tom's stringer after his first dive. Tom won the award for most fish this trip. Tom's quite a shot for sure.
