We tented about 20 yards from the water on the ocean side, fished the shallow bay side where the bone fish, tarpon and even a couple lemon shark took our lines.
Great vacation Helmut. I can almost taste the fresh lobster melting in my mouth....

Did you use an Hawaiian sling, speargun, or a lobster snare?

Yes, the forum is dying and so is Pro Cycling. The unfair treatment given Landis by Dick Pound others has turned off longtime followers. I do not even know who won this year's Tour and I don't care. This despite many years of enthusiastic Tour watching. The greatest sporting event in the World has been ruined by the people running it and Pro Cycling.

I don't think people without an avatar are allowed to post to this thread.

Speargun for the grouper, light tackle for fishing in the bay and tickle sticks and hand nets for the lobsters. It's not legal to snare lobsters in Florida waters.

There was a place we went to where someone took a pickup truck topper and submerged it. We didn't have GPS coordinates for it and it took hours to find, but well worth it. When I dove down and peeked under, there were 30 lobster staring back and a nurse shark taking a nap. The nurse shark, a pretty good sized one at about six feet, spooked after I tickled a couple lobster out. Sometimes they'll just sit there, but this one made a run for.

After about six dives and 10 minutes, we were nearly at our limit, which is six per person in the Keys, so I went down for one more run at the lobster. I had three: one in the net and one in each pocket when I felt a shadow over my shoulder. Of course I thought it was the shark come back to raise a ruckus, but it was a giant sea turtle big as a VW Beetle looking longingly at the lobster in my pockets.

Great story. Don't hesitate to tell us more. It almost feels like a vacation listening.
