TugBoat and Landing Craft Artificial Reefs of the Emerald Coast
Not far offshore of Destin's East Pass lie two sunken vessels that provide habitat to a variety of marine life species. These Florida artificial reefs have become recreational destinations for fishermen and scuba divers. The Janet is a sunken tugboat that is fully intact, and the landing craft is a military vessel with a retractable bow door. Both of these wrecks lie in about 90 to 95 feet of water and are great dive sites as well as fishing locations.

Gulf of Mexico ~ Destin Florida Scuba Diving @ Four Anchors Reef
On what might be one of the final dive trips before the arrival of the oil slick from hell, we explore the natural reef known to locals as Four Anchors... Grouper, Red and Black Snapper, Townsends Angelfish, and all the other marine life that live and thrive in our pristine gulf waters. Apparently one of the divers in our group saw a shark on this dive, unfortunately I wasn't in the same area of the reef to get that on film and he claims his camera malfunctioned for some unknown reason...

Winter Freediving in FL
We've been doing a lot of diving this winter on the gulf coast. I put this movie together primarily for my little girl. She's my dive buddy, but lives out of state with her mother for the winter. This way she can see what kind of shananigans her dad gets into, and it shows all of the diverse dive locations we are so lucky to have here on the Gulf Coast of Northwest FL that she herself will be able to visit this summer. Visit the Emerald Coast of Florida, and you will not be disappointed.
Scuba Dive ~ Destin Florida, Amberjacks Cigar Minnows Rolling in Waves
Diving aboard the Charter Boat Aquanaut and Emerald Coast Scuba (DiveDestin.com) we jumped overboard on a sunken Push Tug named Miss Louise. We were overwhelmed by a huge rolling school of Cigar Minnows up in the water above the sunken ship. Within moments as the minnows shifted as a group, along came a school of Amberjack swimming in and around the minnows as if they were the best of friends... actually the Amberjack could just as easily feast on this type of baitfish however today was the minnows lucky day. Apparently the Jacks weren't hungry!

Fishing the Ms Louise Tug Reef - Destin, FL
Fishing the Ms Louise Tug Reef - Destin, FL
I paddled over from the east side Henderson Beach State Park in my Jackson Big Tuna. We set out early AM and the weather was calm. The water here is very clear. We saw dolphins, a turtle and tons of fish. We started trolling the perimeter of the Ms Louise trolling live cigar minnows hoping to pickup a king or mahi. Our sabiki caught bait quickly got destroyed and we had no more bait. Sabiki'd the reef, nothing. There was a large school of bait fish on the reef and they were more worried about the constant bombardment by the Amberjacks, then they were our sabiki rigs. And the amberjacks were ignoring everything we threw at them and focused on the bait. We'd get a chaser here and there but they'd always turn away.This reef was covered in fish. A little time goes by and the Dive Company Emerald Coast Scuba joined us on the reef. We took one side of the tug and the divers took the other side near the anchor line. Captain Tom Schmitz saw we were having trouble hooking up with the thousands of feeding amberjacks circling below... Whipped out a rod and started hooking up on every cast. He ended up sharing a lure with us and we finally started catching fish. Captain Tom Rocks! Thank you Emerald Coast Scuba!

2015
I've thought about taking this video down. Wear a PFD.
To many kayak anglers have been lost... I will never go out in a kayak without a PFD again. 2015. We've all done it at some point. My jacket was actually just behind my seat and reachable. Too many Folks have the boaters mentality that as long as there's a reachable PFD on board your good. You're not. Exhaustion, fatigue, dehydration, hypothermia, a bad breakfast, flu, heart attack or stroke could hit at any time. And that's just your immediate health risks, which do not include factors completely outside of your control, storms, boats or hovercrafts (don't laugh it recently happened). You have to be conscious to swim and you have to be smart while on the water. Always wear a jacket.
You'll never see me in a kayak without one again.
