Back in the day that was the spot. Horrible current though.We have a full reef system under one of the bridges here, its a legit park.
How the Local Dive Community Protected Blue Heron Bridge
Local scuba divers in South Florida helped protect one of Florida's best dive sites: Blue Heron Bridge in Riviera Beach.www.scubadiving.com
From the keys to west palm beach is reefs from 30-100ft of water. Not great barrier quality by any stretch but ya get the idea
I snorkeled with a massive naso and lieutenant tang while i was in maui, massive. Definitely an eater but considering the amount of quality fish there no idea why someone would opt for a tang.
No idea... might be similar to people eating pigs feet or something. No real reason other than they do.
What do you define as quality fish? The big pelagic species?
Yeah bluewater fish; mahi, ono, ahi
It’s a relatively involved answer, but the simple answer is cost. Your average Hawaiian can walk out to the edge of a reef with a sling a pair of fins mask and a snorkel and shoot enough reef fish in an hour swim to feed his family dinner. The cost of those open water fish is exorbitant to have to rely upon for day in and day out eating.
Yeah i get that. I was spoiled with my excursion in kona. I understand that not all of hawaii blue water fishing is the same, but id run a 23ft CC out of kona and go catch a couple YFT and be set for the week. I can troll all day on $50, call it $100 w/ hawaii gas prices.
We have the opposite problem in FL. Carribean migrants will illegally harvest fish most consider inedible (Sgt Majors for example) or undersized fish. We have a robust Fish and Wildlife commission but they cant keep up.
My wife would be most thrilled if you do that around the tank. May even get to add a 3rd.All in a whenzdee
