Top to Bottom vis in the Cape!

Thats right top to bottom vis near Pelican Flats. When we anchored up
the bubble watcher jumped in for a swim and said "Hey I can see the bottom"
I did not believe it until I jumped in and saw the same. First time for that.
Anyways I managed three nice flounder, three bugs and a hog snapper.

The flounder look tasty! How deep were you when you got those flatties?

Re: Top to Bottom vis in the Cape!

Thanks for the Report. Amazing how it can change, last weekend we had 10'-15' (which is very good), but I noticed the top 20' or so was very murky and the next 40' or so very clear. You sure hit the right day for some enjoyable diving. Only downside is the Grouper and Snapper were watching you from 50' rather than 20'. Of course that didn't really matter since you brought in a fine catch anyway.
