Any deep water divers or fishermen?

Thanks for the input.

Fishermen and divers move on to new hobbies. Some people sell their boats, some folks health changes. It never hurts to ask people.


The cool thing about forums is it brings people together with a shared interest. As a reef-geek and an avid spearfisherman, reaching out here makes sense.

You may not like the answers, but no one is going to give them up easily.

Someone may. You have made it clear that you will not. I understand that completely. I addressed this issue earlier in the post.

People that share their GPS numbers normally have crappy spots, why?
Because everyone has them.

Anyone here that knows the game, will tell you we do not go to the same spot every weekend. Maybe every 6 weeks or more depending on the spot, if you go out every weekend.

We do not want to burn out the spots. You fish for a few hours and you hunt for a few hours.

Completely understood. I agree with you.
I stated my intent earlier:

Some of these spots cost thousands of dollars in fuel to find them.

As a boat owner I know this to be the case. Thousands of dollars per spot may be a slight exaggeration.

We are not about to give them to Ham and Eggers.
Why would you call names on an internet forum?

BTW, not calling you a Ham and Egger. :p
My friend, you clearly did

My intent on an internet forum is not to look for conflict, It is to meet people with a shared interest who have a passion for a hobby.

I work for 24 hours every 3rd day and have an abundance of free time to search and chat of forums. It is something I enjoy. I have met great people and built real life friendships away form the computer with folks I met at the keyboard.

Again I am not looking for conflict on an internet forum. Its serves no purpose. My sarcasm earlier in he thread was out of line. My apologies.

I started your thread with a tease with my numbers also to state no one ever gives out good numbers.


I am just having fun, my old fishes buddies have much better numbers than I do, and they do not share their numbers with me.
Yes they always tease me about it.

How you think i got the Spring Numbers? He actually place the coordinates in my face for 1 second.
I remember it, lol. He never did that again.


Takes around $400 to fill my boat, so thousand per spot is on the low side.

The Ham and Egger comments, I do not know you, so I do not know if your one of them. But asking for good numbers almost makes you one.

Yes I am having fun again. :bounce1:
 
We're getting off track here, me and my good buds always share spots, makes us all better fishermen. I've been leaving a buds number and ran over something new, when we got back I shot him the new number because I wouldn't have found it without going to his number first so in my mind, it's half his. All it takes is a couple of numbers to get you in the ballpark, from there you will start finding your own.

Had the st. Pete open spearing tour this past sat. Second year in a row that my dive bud shot a third place fish right in front of me, I'll kick faster next year but still a great day.

I see some decent hogs hiding in there! North end of the grounds?

Always tough to see the big fish shot in front of you. Its pretty sweet to be the guy pulling the trigger!

Looked on SFP for tourney results but nothing yet. Glad you had a productive trip!

Actually we went to the mid/south elbow, not much on this planet more fun than flipping off the gunnel over 180 ft of water before the sun even comes up.:thumbsup:

Biggest hog in the box went 16.8 gutted, good for third place.

16.8 is a pig. I have yet to make it to the elbow. First dive of the day is a beautiful thing! Nice shooting!

I have a 30' stamas cc with 2 150 gal fuel tanks...wish it was only $400 to fill up ... More like $1500 for me (that is why I never fish by myself lol )
My old neighbor and three of his buddies were all charter captains and each was a charter for different things...each one did at some point charters for diving,flats or offshore fishing...they compiled a GPS cord book that was 30 years of combined cord keeping...they made me a copy of the book which is over 150 pages long with thousands of GPS cords with detailed info on the spots and detailed shipwreck or dive sites...I was shocked to recieve such a priceless book...my father does offshore charters and this was their maiden voyage on his new charter boat with the cord bookImageUploadedByTapatalk1408835726.270481.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1408835743.569390.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1408835759.794807.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1408835773.215396.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1408835785.577224.jpg

I forgot to mention these cords span quite a distance up and down Florida on the gulf and range up to 100 miles offshore...and I have had success 6 out of 10 cords everytime
