Blackshear Group Trip Report for May 29th

Friday on Capt. Rusty’s charter, we speared a total of 22 Spades, 2 Grouper, 1 Sea Bass, and 1 Amber Jack.  The first dive was on the new subway cars that DNR just deployed at G Reef last year.  They were nice to dive on but will probably be better next year once they get a little more age on them for better fish habitat.  Most of the fish were smaller there but I did see a few nice sized Snapper that I couldn’t get a shot on.  The last two dives were on a 105′ tug boat.  This wreck was LOADED with fish including Spades, AJ’s, Grouper, Snapper, Spanish, Barracuda, Sheepshead, Sea Bass, and Triggers.  The viz on all of these dives were 20-30 feet.  Below is the biggest fish that each of us speared.
