For the next two days, Wednesday and Thursday of this week, those who observe or otherwise monitor the activities of treasure salvers along Florida's many miles of coast will see much unusual activity, many of the boats involved in the search for Spanish treasure will be moving further off shore into deeper water, and divers will be making many dives for short periods, and returning to the surface with bags of booty, and then returning to the oceans bottom to collect more.
I, and my ship mates will be working the area several miles North East of Sebastian Inlet in 60 to 90 feet of water. The treasure we are recovering, we will not have to share any with the State, unless they bring the beer.
At the end of the day, be prepared for many a drunken party on the beaches up and down the coast as these treasure salvers freely share there booty from the bottom with family and friends.
Thats right! it's the annual two day mini season for spinney lobster.

Corona anyone!
 

dont get me wrong i like lobster but befor you boil broil or grill or whatever ya'll do please refigrate them so I dont hear the m screaming! if you refrigerated them they go into a coma and dont know they are being cooked alive! butter anyone?
 

Lobster goes great with fresh cold water smallmouth!! Onions, butter, and Corona!!

Maybe a Blue Crab or two thrown in for good measure!
 

I grew up in S. Louisiana eating crawfish. Anyone ever try boiling a lobster in crab boil? I've always wanted to try it, but never did. Have a great time, guys!

Capt Z, thanks for the concern my friend, I always hate to hear about diving accidents. It is risky business and a dangerous sport even for those who take many safety precautions. Fortunately for me and my crew, we all made it back to the dock safe and sound. Al tho, I cant say the same for many of them there lobster ;)
We started the day out on the 60 foot reefs, but once you got below the thermalcline the vis went to zero out in the deeper water. Once we got close into shore down by Vero beach the vis got better. No luck with the lobster, so we moved north and visited some of the 1715 wrecks along the way. Our best luck was down along treasure beach, and again up by the Cabin wreck site. All in all we Had a good time and sucked the tanks dry chasing them big ol bugs out from under the rocks and into the bags.

Lobster, clam chowder, corn on the cob, cold beer, and watermelon for desert, ummmm, umm! I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!
 

That looks like an undersize red grouper!
 

My dinner from last month in an "undisclosed" Central American country ;)

You hit the nail on the head Joseph! And yes, I caught those with my "brotha from anotha mutha" as he would tell it. More time than life!
