Lots of really good days for Diving when the temperature has been in the 80s we've been getting good lobster in line, Fish Diving. There's still a lot going on, lobster season doesn't close for another two weeks, so you still got time to get down and get some bugs before the season ends.

The water temp has been coldest I've seen in a while. The inshore fishery was almost nonexistent for a couple days. Luckily as soon as the cold weather turned, the mangrove and lane snappers slowly started coming back.

On the days with decent conditions and adventurous guests, we ventured to a bit deeper water looking for a little warmer water temperatures. We found some nice red grouper (season closed till May) and a variety of quality snappers.

Beyond the reef had been decent. Not exactly all the designer fish, but plenty of action to be had. Decent numbers of cero, Spanish, and king mackerels, some cudas, and bonita have been caught as well. I heard of a handful of sailfish being caught as well.
