Well...I'm going to drink a beer hoping you all do better today. "For all you do, this Bud's for you"....and your bugs!! :)

Re: Key Largo Friday Night Mini Season
 

Hopefully the eye of the storm moves over you guys today for a momentary break from that wind.

Re: Key Largo Friday Night Mini Season
 

Yeah......it's too bad the tropical storm's name is Don!!!! :D :D

It was a tough "2 day" this year....
Most of my favorite places on the Atlantic were
either covered up by grass or a bunch of short bugs!
The wind had been blowin' for weeks prior which many of you
know keeps things cloudy for diving.
Here are a few pics from the Bug-BQ last night!

Lil Kenny, with a fresh Hog Snapper with Capt. Denny!

Friday we went down to Bud n Mary`s. One of the Stanczyk brothers was going to the other side. He was well oiled from the night before. They pioneered daytime deep dropping for swordies.

My friend Brian got bitten by a suspected stone crab while reaching into a trap for bugzz. No pic.....sorry Charlie.


Great to meet Dan and Julie aka Blue Heron {great mac n cheese}. Always great sharing klnowledge and techniques.

Skip and Carla have been busy making Carl and Jeanne proud.

So nice to see the founders and chat about the early days.

Thanks,

Thanks to Skip and Carla for hosting a very nice get together. It was a pleasure to finally meet Carl and Jeanne, and the food was without equal. Sandy did an absolutely perfect job cooking the bugs.
