    Something bout to happen?!?!

    Kinda lost track, what was " 'bout to happen!?!" before we turned this into a Florida Sportsman segment or U Marine Biology Page talking about Jewfish/Goliath Grouper/Moray Eels/Shrimpin'/ Lion fish/Stone Crabs/Lobster/Spearfishing?

    Something bout to happen?!?!

    No I hear its good. I was in Mexico lobstering once and there was a ledge about 15 feet deep, I was free diving and using an illegal wire coat hanger with a hook wired around the end, a Mexican Mechanic suggested. He was working on the engine on the Hatters I was on (also gave me some Spanish...

    I dive for Stone Crabs here - lots of reaching in holes under railroad tressel to pull them out, but we don't have many Moray Eels here, and Lion fish only started showing up inshore about 3 years ago.

    As I recall the dive website it was mentioned on, he was spearfishing and wearing a fish hoop he was trailing fish off of.

    But they never renamed Jewfish Creek, or Jewfish Creek Bridge in the Keys, but then again, its not that far from Ocean Reef Club, and in my early Captain days, some of the older captains said they remember when the fuel dock was one of the last places to have an actual sign: "No Mexicans or Jews...

    Something bout to happen?!?!

    They found where they dumped the old Orange Bowl, and they're going to rebuild it in Coral Gables thanks to a wealthy Bay of Pigs survivor. He soured on the government because JFK didn't supply the air support he promised them that would have got them off the beach. So, he used all the evasive...
