Default They didnt just name it Monster Hole to scare away surfers.

Your right Scott, So are you coming with us? Once i skindove Sebastian inlet pass on the incoming tide, i didnt see sharks but i saw the biggest snooks ive ever seen, one had a BIG bite scar. Its a blast to dive there, the current travels 5mph so you dont need to swim, just jump off the jetty, drift and watch the fish.

They didnt just name it Monster Hole to scare away surfers. I like Jetty Park, shallow, and smaller fish.

I appreciate the invite, but these days I like riding with Donna more than anything in kiting. I am hoping she will do the Gandy DW with us.
Tell Captain Leopold I said hi and don't have his number. He called me awhile back and didn't leave his number.

Raul your number doesnt work. BTW Scott you used to Ride Matanzas every day, it has similar geography to Monster Hole and the same size fish no doubt....dont you think Matanzas is just as sketchy? It also gets crowded at Matanzas, but no attacks.....yet.

Matanzas was tame in comparison, in terms of shark activity.
I did see quite a few "red explosions" under me while riding there, and yes, it bugged me a little.
I assume those were fish bleeding out after being bitten. Most likely mullet.

Monster hole is much deeper and much richer in food, imo.
I am not exaggerating about the turtles. Ask Rob.
As we walked out, we were on the pier. I saw a guy with a bend in his rod and waited to see what he caught..... a turtle! Wow! First time I ever saw that.


Then, walked 30 more yards. A guy had a ..... turtle on his line.
Another 30 yards. Another turtle. It was unreal. They were so thick out there, guys were snagging them.

I saw at least 50 turtles that day while riding. I saw two get eaten.

Thing is, a kiteboard is about the size of a........ turtle.

Have a good time!!

The wind direction should be perfect. It's the water (lack of) that might be a problem. Today was ridiculously low tide b/c of lunar AND wind states. It was literally as low as I have ever seen it.
Hopefully the water will fill back in to the bay tonight.
Really low tide tomorrow until about noon. Guess we will see.

Ya it was ridiculous out there, and with the morning winds blowing that hard for my 11m, I decided it wasnt the best time/place to learn since i'm so new. Thinking about going out tomorrow, but with the tide like that i'm not so sure.
