It’s been an awesome year with great numbers of fish, great vis and great new and old friends on charters. Here are a few picks from the year thus far. There is still plenty of time to fish. We will run into October . I post more regularly on facebook so please friend us.  We are spear-it charters on face book.

The Mandes boys got it done with 2 40 lbers each. Breaking their own personal best twice On one trip!!

Great fishing. Lots of schools as well as small packs of big fish. Vis today in spots was 40 feet. Beautiful diving!

Ran out in pea soup fog. After it lifted around 8 am divers got in the water and shot some great fish including one 50 pounder. Also seabass opened today a few 3 and 4 lbers where speared . Another great day at the office 😉

Great day spearfishing today.
