That's correct. Unless, you're aboard a licensed charter or party boat with a Federal Reef Permit. Then you can take both gags and ARS June 1st. Just in case you see a charter or party boat catching ARS and keeping them. Am sure there will be plenty of "boat checks" by the MAN this Friday and weekend.

Re: Friday June 1 roll call

When the hurricane brought sustained wind out of the S for days on end we ended up with much better than expected viz and blue water. Amazingly.

You will be hard pressed to find a gag that shallow out of captiva pass

I have a spot in 98' with the same name. Got its name as I got near the bottom and saw gags everywhere in the water column and bottom looking at me. Have a place in the MG called 9 Hogs. My buddy and I shot a total of 9 hogs on the dive. Good luck on your Gags Galore spot.

Was this the spot with the boat brush that we dove for ARS last year?

That spot with all the ARS is called "deck brush". You were close.

Re: Friday June 1 roll call

Went straight out of Anclote to 55fsw. Almost top to bottom, could make out dark spots on the bottom from the surface.

The vis was so good, the gags were spooky and stayed out of range. And my brother missed the first 3 big ones.

So we ran north to 50’ outside of Pasco 2. Still great vis but less fishy.

Ran back south and worked ledges back in to 37fsw. Still great vis and more fishy. Got some nice hogs and another few gags.

Going back out tomorrow. To 40fsw
