Dec 20 Dive Report

sstep5884 · 12-20-2009, 10:35 PM

Today a couple buddies and I went out to see what the water was like. We hit up the Tex and 3 Barges. The vis at the Tex was pretty good, about 40-50'. There was a lot of life all over the place. Schools and schools of fish. There were also some really big red fish just hanging out. 3 Barges had a lot of life as well but the vis was a lot worse. It was maybe 20' at best. Water temp was about 62. Not a bad day of diving at all. Anyone else been out at all?

Thanx for the report. I was wondering if all the rain water washing out into the gulf had destroyed the viz yet.

Heading out this afternoon to hit some close in spots. Thanks for the report. Helps out a great deal.

Did you see any flounder on the Tex. Or have they moved to deeper water yet. 62 degrees is pushing it for the flounder. By then they usually head to the deeper, warmer waters.

No. I froze my ass off the week before thanksgiving when the water was 68-70. Apparently I am a sissy when it comes to cold water.

Theres a cure for that Dreamweaver....a 7mm wetsuit and a good hood! Then it's only bad on the way in if your in a center console.

Hey, Clay...when I post an abbreviated trip report like that it means I'm nursing a whooped ass from an AJ!
