Jax viz report
Went out to 100' yesterday and on the surface wasnt expecting much. was pleasantly surprised by 50' viz on the bottom. Water still pretty cold though, not many shootable fish seen.

Re: Jax viz report
Its been since May 5th so any report I could give is old. Vis was not great but def workable. 20-30 at SS and same at PG. Lot of sharks!!!!!! every dive. Went fishing about 10 days ago and water looked the same, ton of sharks again. Hoped to get out this week but with the craziness going on, I'm landlocked. So I look forward to other people's reports.

Re: Jax viz report
Made it out yesterday about 30 miles out of St Augustine. GET OUT THERE!!!!! water is clearest you will see up here. a very minor thermo about 40' down which leaves a slight discoloration that keeps it from being top to bottom. Once on bottom it was easy 100'.
That said, didnt really see any shooting fish, and im sure a real thermo is gonna come in soome, so get out while you can |

Re: Jax viz report
Thanks for the INFO. Just about time for a cold water thermocline, how far offshore were you?

Re: Jax viz report
Well then Donny, when I get back from the keys in a couple weeks I'll give you a call and you can show me where the fish are.
But I'm sure by then the thermo will close us out for a couple months |

Re: Jax viz report
125' St Aug both Mini days. 30 to 50' vis on bottom. Bath water to 100' then sharp, very cold thermocline. Only 1 grouper in 16 drops, a few bugs both days.
Hurricane will turn it to mud for a while |
