Sat at the G & H

Capt. AHO · 06-29-2009, 12:36 AM

First off thanks to MBT for putting on a great tournament. We just dove Sat. due to work and other stuff. Went far first and had good vis around 50 feet just no tournament winners. Did shoot a 5.1 trigger and dive buddy got a Shovel nose lobster. Second spot Vis suck. Third spot had lots of fish no winners. So we got to dive and get our Snapper on. It was a blast. Did go weigh the trigger it was in first for at least 5 min. Also got to see the 22.1 snapper at weigh in that SOB was a stud. Congrats to the winners hope everybody made it home safe. Maybe next year. I'll post pics when the get emailed to me.

Yes we definitely had a blast, no winning fish but a great day on the water and being my first time to spearfish and shooting 2 snapper and 1 trigger (snapper & trigger on same shot!) Everyone made it back to the ramp safe and I didn't have to cut my anchor line! Everyone on the boat knows what happened there. Thanks MBT and to everyone on the boat, I had a blast!

I think everyone except a few just had a hard time finding those tournament winning fish. You should have seen the winning 32 lb snapper if you thought the 22 pounder was big.

32 pounder? Dang! Does anyone have the winningnumbers yet?

18lb Grouper, 32lb Snapper, 59 lb AJ, 8.5lb Trigger, 6.5lb Flounder, no Cobia - but we did have a report of a diver seeing 4 footshark following a turtle around :doh

Who won all the stuff? Guys from work went out this weekend and got a lot of nothing...

wish i would have seen the 4ft shark following a turtle.

Jon is right, that 32lb snapper was a hog. Really nice fish.

Only got out on Saturday, and dives went 'cant see speartip' followed by 'nothing to shoot' and last dive of burn a full tank shooting fish but none were tournament fish. Tough day on the water, we were all pretty wore out from the 1.3 or 1.6ft waves. I think NOAA needs to check their bouys, or find out if they are reading in metric...

Thanks again to MBT for a fun tournament.
