We hit 20 Mile Tug and the Grain Barge, visibility was 40-60' after you got below 50' and the layer of swimmy, funky stuff. I'd guess temp at depth was in the low 70s with mid-high 70s on the surface. Lots of legal snapper, cobia, and amberjack on the Grain Barge. A few legal snapper on the 20 Mile Tug, but they were few and far between - not much else in terms of spearing.

The 20 Mile Tug has been ripped up quite a bit since before the hurricane last year, not sure if it was the 'Cane or just a fishing boat carelessly hooking into it. The cabin and superstructure are torn off and pancaked into the sand.

First time I got to use the speargun I got in Dec.

Soaked in Dales/ItalianDressing/LemonPepper then grilled. Threw it on a bun and ate it with corn and potatoes boiled in Zatarans crab boil :) Yum!
