But with Doodlebug on scuba, my snuba rig, and Slacker Air, the bugs never had a chance! Thanks to Ken for putting us on a spot that was loaded with bugs, we got our limit of 18 the first day on just that one spot and called Ken to come join us so they could finish getting their quota! And thanks to SkipnCarla for hosting a great get together!

Here here and thanks to your wonderful dive platform. 4 inches above the water?
Sweet dive boat there my friend.

DoodleBug came up yelling help. I was confused. I had bad thoughts. He had a nice fish
in his cradle. Caught me off guard. Just a tad shy of legal. Still a great catch.

Great Diving.
Love it.

The Ole Garmin is sweet. What fun we had.

4.5 cfm is good for 2 @ 30 Ft.

More like 1-2", or awash if Doodlebug is on it, but that's where you want it so you don't need a ladder!

Thanks Ken!!!! That reminds me of of Jimmy Houston kissing his catch!!! He's made millions doing it!!! However he's a little short on the nips action.........

I feel better now!

Great job SeaCraft brethren.... Looks like a good time was had by all! I'm still looking for additional photographic evidence! What's the date on the second wave coming down there??? Don,Terry, and I are ready to get down there for the regular season!

This gathering made us happy buggers.



I see a spear gun in my future...



Bushwacker and DoodleBug.



65Bowrider and SkipperTee.



Mr. & Mrs Boner.



Nasa`s finest preparing the Saturn V for second stage separation.



Not all pre `88 tanks are flagged.



So we get right over this big coral head.



Only one problem. My fat ass is this wide.



And the opening is only this wide...



So I have to sit around and watch that skinny assed Slacker getting fire coral rash all
over his thighs and taking MY BUGS.



I need a new hat.



Not a bad shirt...


Nor this.



A successful Pirate pilgrimage.



Cheers,
GFS

You guys have all the warm water fun. Guess where I am?


The water is freakin' cold....but the Dungeness is yummy!

Glad too see the tradition continues...

Looks like a fine mini season down Keys way...

Dang Mr T, they sure grow that legal Maryjane big up there on the Islands, must be those long summer days...

I have a little house in Roche but its on the the west coast of the Atlantic and a lot closer to the Strait of the Gibraltar than Juan de Fuca Strait. Is that your new dinghy, Terry?

[65Bowrider]

This is what we worked with ... 3 Hookas & lots of tanks ...

Skippertee & I joined NoBones & Mrs, while GFS & Doodlebug joined Bushwacker on his Seafari.
We all got our limits on Day 1 ... Day 2 not so good.

Then Doodlebug & Mrs came down & joined us for Regular Season.
Photos taken by Mrs. Doodlebug, Diana.
First ... spotted the "good spots"

Then, all the fine Lobsters in the boat!
Day 1 Reg Season, 19, Day 2 got our limit of 24.

And such a feast every night! ... oh, was it good!
Pix shows Lasagna ...
But we also had Shrimp, steak, lobsters & fish ... All wonderful.
Thanks to Mr. & Mrs. NoBones, Bushwacker, GFS, Doodlebug & Mrs, Skippertee and myself...
We all had such a great time!

AWSOME, Carla
It looks like the UDT episode from McHale's Navy.
AKA Seal Team Fun.
Where the heck is Robin Leach when you need him?
