    Unusual activity along the Florida coast

    For the next two days, Wednesday and Thursday of this week, those who observe or otherwise monitor the activities of treasure salvers along Florida's many miles of coast will see much unusual activity, many of the boats involved in the search for Spanish treasure will be moving further off shore into deeper water, and divers will be making many dives for short periods, and returning to the surface with bags of booty, and then returning to the oceans bottom to collect more.
    I, and my ship mates will be working the area several miles North East of Sebastian Inlet in 60 to 90 feet of water. The treasure we are recovering, we will not have to share any with the State, unless they bring the beer.
    At the end of the day, be prepared for many a drunken party on the beaches up and down the coast as these treasure salvers freely share there booty from the bottom with family and friends.
    Thats right! it's the annual two day mini season for spinney lobster.

    Corona anyone!

    Re: Unusual activity along the Florida coast

    Capt Z, thanks for the concern my friend, I always hate to hear about diving accidents. It is risky business and a dangerous sport even for those who take many safety precautions. Fortunately for me and my crew, we all made it back to the dock safe and sound. Al tho, I cant say the same for many of them there lobster
    We started the day out on the 60 foot reefs, but once you got below the thermalcline the vis went to zero out in the deeper water. Once we got close into shore down by Vero beach the vis got better. No luck with the lobster, so we moved north and visited some of the 1715 wrecks along the way. Our best luck was down along treasure beach, and again up by the Cabin wreck site. All in all we Had a good time and sucked the tanks dry chasing them big ol bugs out from under the rocks and into the bags.
