Ha Chuck;

I was down at Long Key first week in June for a few days and was talking to a guy that dives Long Key every year for the last 20 years. He said that this year he was not going to go. That day he looked at approx 20 spots he always dives on each year and saw No Bugs in any of them. Instead of Bugs there was one 20-60 Lb. Jew fish sitting there instead. Looks like the original Bug poachers have taking over their turf and are not going to leave much for the divers or commercial guys to get. You better bring some fishing rods with Ya. I think I will be going this year but out of Miami. Maybe on the ocean side you will find them good luck.

Hey Ken, be glad you got that shot in front of Treasure Village with Jumbo Bug!! Word has it that some Millionaire
bought it and relocated it to his house.
That is where we stay behind the (used to be) Bug at the Ragged Edge.

well, with the mini-season being mid-week, it won't be the slightest bit crowded right? [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Believe it or not Ikan, the crowds have gotten smaller
in the keys for the 2 day because Monroe County has basically banned all of the inshore hunting for bugs.
Canals, any manmade objects, and all the protected natural reefs. You have to hit the places that have generally been the best first and early. Plus the diving part we Bully net at night which we have found to be more productive. For me it is the thrill of the hunt and the "hangin out" with my buds for the week...
See ya, Ken
