Good Saturday in PCB

[Ana]

A typical dive off Panama City Beach usually yields flounder and shovelnoses for everyone with eyes open. Grouper, snapper, cobia and others require aim and a bit of luck.
My husband and I this past Saturday were more than lucky running into this 6.5 lbs spiny in only 100'. They tend to be deeper in the 150' range.

Nice bug! I recently caught one like that under a bridge span in 75 feet. Don't see spiney's that often out of PC, but when we do, they're nice, BIG bugs

Those shovelnose look like shrimp next to it

My first dive after OW was to 130' off of PC way back in 1989. I felt really good about myself after getting back on the boat even though I never saw the "ledge". Then, some smarty pants climbs up the ladder with one of those monsters. Took all of the wind out of my sails!

Great job. I'll dive with your husband anytime!

we have more of those around here you know, come up to the northern gulf before the waters freeze over. All those colorful reefs you dive down there spoil you.

I still recall how good the catch tasted that you and Matt caught in nov 2002. Got to make a point of making it back down that way sometime!!

I am planning on coming down to PCB in early October and be staying in my RV at the CSS base. Who would I contact to arrange for a fishing trip around there? When I have been there before, I mostly just dove at St Andrews, and they kinda frown on it there.

Chuck, if you mean spear fishing, PM me & I'll send you an email contact for a 6 pack I like to dive with.
