NJ Wreck Diving - Barnegat's Secret Spots

[MB104]

A few Wreckvalley and NJDive.com members hit a few hidden spots off the Barnegat NJ coast on Wednesday. We got black fish, trigger fish, and lobsters on two wrecks. Check out the trip report and a few pictures on my dive blog at Mike's Dive Log

Sounds like a great time. I miss the Tuna Seazure being based out of Barnegat.

Here is a short Youtube video from the dive. I was wearing my Liquid Image HD321 Video Mask. It is a true "point of view" camera, so it can get kind of dizzying, since the camera moves wherever I turn my head. The batteries died after only 25 minutes, and I cut it down more from there.

Your video looked good. Yeah, it's a little bouncy, since it's your Video Mask, but it was cool. The seas looked great, and truely 'Lake Atlantic.' Got to take advantage of these days. Nice bugs, but if they were eggers, what can you do. How was the trigger fish? I've shot it in NC, and I thought it was pretty good.

CCR's, Shearwater computers, flat seas, elusive togs, private boat and mystery numbers...Diving Jersey just doesn't get any better, does it? Glad you guys got the danforth anchor.

Safe diving to you.

The Trigger fish was outstanding. It tasted like butter. A little garlic salt, butter, and lemon juice, baked at 375 for 10 minutes, and it was perfectly cooked. Tonight I had the black fish. Dipped in egg, rolled in bread crumbs, and baked at 350 for 20 minutes. Outstanding! I wish I could tell you about the lobsters, but they weren't mine. The anchor was a bonus too. We gave it to our Captain, who volunteered to come out with us and watch the boat as we dove. They were his numbers too. I'm sure he could sell it on craigslist for at least $100.00.

That would be a great sell for the anchor. Fuel for the boat!
