Divevets<\/a> and, with the exception of one hot chick, was a stag boat.<\/p>\nOpening Night proved that the lobsters are shallow, but the Captain and charter organizer decided to try a spot in 50 feet of water; the same spot last year really sucked.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The boat tossed in the fairly large and rough swells; some non-macho divers were starting to get sea sick.<\/p>\n
Once at the location, I was the first one overboard; when I surfaced from my giant stride, I was 15 feet away from the boat… then 20 feet…<\/p>\n
Dan asked, “Is there a current?”<\/p>\n
“Hell, yes, there’s a current!” I yelled.<\/p>\n
I swam to the anchor line and submerged to the ocean floor at 50 feet and followed the chain to the anchor.<\/p>\n
I spotted a lobster and pinned it, but it was pitifully short.<\/p>\n
I was told, “Go towards shore where it’s shallower.”<\/p>\n
I thought, “If the lobsters are at 25 feet, why the fuck did we anchor in 50 feet of water?”<\/p>\n
I swam South East, towards the beach and spotted only a few shorts, no legal bugs.<\/p>\n
I swam and swam but didn’t get any shallower than 45 feet – WHY ARE WE THIS DEEP?<\/p>\n
I surfaced a few times to spot the boat and make sure I was swimming up current; the boat was getting smaller, but the shore didn’t appear to get any larger.<\/p>\n
The kelp in this area was insignificant, but my mask kept leaking which was slightly annoying.<\/p>\n
In 45 feet of water I spotted a legal bug and pinned it!<\/p>\n
Finally, I have one, so the anxiety of getting skunked tonight was over.<\/p>\n
I surfaced when I got down to 1000 psi and looked for the boat…<\/p>\n
Where’s the boat?<\/p>\n
The swells were rolling…<\/p>\n
Where the fuck is the boat?<\/p>\n
About 100+ yards away I saw it; I was down current but way over between me and the shore.<\/p>\n
I started the long swim back, knowing I couldn’t swim directly there because of the current.<\/p>\n
I surface swam for twenty minutes before making it 30 yards directly in front of the bow; exhausted, I let the current take me to the boat.<\/p>\n
The first thing I said to the boat Captain was, “This place fucking sucks!”<\/p>\n
My experience was common with the other divers… very few legal lobsters and a hell of a swim back, as everyone was trying to get shallower!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
