I'm guessing that this is the correct place to post this question. So, here goes - how does one both tell the difference, and illustrate to another, the differences between a Scamp and a Yellowmouth grouper? I have bought fish ID books and studied some online, however, I have not yet satisfied...

There is no Scamp in the "Groupers" section. I have the hardest time trying to decide between Yellowmouth Grouper and Scamp when underwater. I guess the debate will continue....I am certain that we have Yellowmouth in the Northern Gulf for which there is not a size limit. However, I'm not sure...

Dad and I dove late morning on 4/2. There was ~10ft viz in the top 15 feet and the water appeared beautiful from the surface. At about 15ft we hit murky water (~4ft viz) that persisted throughout the rest of the dive. It beat being at work though and we still enjoyed the dive. Interestingly, at...

Definately headed to the Fort on Friday after checking weather. Should be there around 9:30 or 10. Hope to see you there. :D

Yeah, 3 day weekends all year 'round rock....well, mostly. As long as you can muster the energy to do anything on Friday through Sunday after busting your tail between 5 and almost midnight Monday through Thursday shoving a weeks worth of stuff into 4 days. lol. Still, it rocks. lol. Here's to...

Ok, so I'm sitting around and just can't stand it anymore. I see that high tide at Ft. Pickens is at 11:41am on Friday, April 2nd. So, unless there is a gail blowing, rivers are overflowing their banks. or the day is just too perfect not to take the boat out, then I'll be at Ft. Pickens that...

Yep, let me know too. I may be available and would be happy to join if I can.

Oh, and I never studied too much to not ride with the "puff puff give" comment. ROFLMAO.

Heck, closed mindedness is a huge danger for life in general. lol I like that in this community, for the most part, people are constantly improving themselves and most don't have an aversion to a little debate in order to do so.

Our entire household (8 altogether) has been at different stages of similar stomach or flu-like illness for the past 2 and a half weeks. We are finally getting a break from it all and seeing some happy faces for the past several days so hopefully we are in the clear. However, Saturday sucks for...

yeah, if you guys do this I'd like a chance to tag along or meet you there. I have'nt been there yet despite being there on business quite a bit over the past year.

I would but children's burfday parties on that day. I'm itching to go.

Excellent! Nothing like pictures great fish pics to get that spring fever into full effect. I'm soooo jealous!:mooner:

The fishermen that set up on the Jetties are generally used to divers. I can't speak for everyone but I have only had good experiences with the shore fishermen there. Now those that approach the site by boat have occassionally been a different story.

Hey Gary, you talking about the video or the 70's music making you want to get gear salty? That's just wrong. rofl.

We were the small private boat that was first on the site that morning and moored directly in front of the Down Under. The distressed diver and those assiting him surfaced just to the port side of our boat before the current took them back closer to the Down Under. We transferred the Dive...

Well, I certainly don't want anyone to think I was trying to divert attention from what is most important here. I am well aware of the essentials and what really isn't worth worrying about under the circumstances. I just wanted to share the story yet not support its quality. As mentioned in...

Anyone see the WEAR 3 News story last night and this morning concerning the accident? I'm not sure they could have screwed up the facts any more if they had tried. It was very poorly done. Maybe I'm just grumpy after all of this this weekend though. You be the judge...

Very Cool pics Walter. THX for sharing.

I have'nt been on the Anderson (Noah Webster) yet. I dove the Allen (William T Barry) a few weeks ago but I imagine that the hulls look pretty much the same. An online search will turn up pictures of one or two of the hulls just prior to sinking. You will see that most of the distinguishing...
