couldn't find the divers to go sunday so heres what we saw mon. choppy water so the triangles were out. hit the hanks, tiger & tower in that order.
should have put this here earlier but i simply forgot.
the hanks was about 73 degrees on the bottom. visability was 50+ feet. could see pretty much the entire wreak. a 50 lb + amber, lots of sea bass & spades, several triggers, a few tog. one diver got about a 10 lb tog. i pulled a 2-3 lb lobster & another guy pulled a 1 lber. several triggers & sea bass.
the tiger was zero visability. one diver down & back in 10 minutes. bottom was about 70 degrees.
the tower was about 63/65 degees on the bottom. vis. was about 20-30 ft. i stayed on the boat for this one. divers came back with a few triggers & spades hanging close to the legs. there are big amber jacks & jack crevalle swimming around the tower. oh yah, & some monster barracuda!
earl really changed the temps cause the the best the any divers found before earl was low to mid 50's on the bottom. its amazing that in our area you can go from one place to another in relative close proximity to each other & find such extreme variance in bottom conditions. well, there ya go.
