Found these bugs while working on some research. They are almost worth their weight in gold here.

:icon_thumright: good stuff! I'm been picking them off the 3rd reefs, too. Rarely ever dive off the beach as I usually focus on 90 ft reefs, but the beach has been holding better than the deeper stuff this year.
 
Don't think you guys get em like that up on the inlet. I got those in about 140 feet of water near Hawks channel in the mid-lower keys. I was glad to find something at last.
 
Sailboat Larry, nice bugs !! Those will go quite well with melted butter !!! Yumm!
 
I have a gps on a ledge that has a bunch of bugz about that size and its only 20 foot deep.

You guys need one of those gunwhale mount stainless gas grills on your rigs just for this very thing!
 
In Torres Strait these crays are a substantial industry at $35.- kg. Some divers get up to 45-60 kg/day.
 
Now this is a bug

Here's one from not too long ago. BTW, that is an HP-120 tank.

Looks like a hitchhiker. Let me guess, it thought the safest place was behind you. ;D
