Viz was 12ft. Not too bad considering but murky. Waves were pretty big. Some 6-7's mixed in.
Get to the reef. Lobsters EVERYWHERE! muttons EVERYWHERE. Clouds of them.
I only brought my bouy . No kayak or anything to hold lobsters or fish(out of water) So I caught a couple lobsters and started stuffing them in my wetsuit top. Remember these are spiny lobsters... I had 4 in my top against my lower back and stomach. I went down shot an nice mutton and put him on the fish stringer that was attached to my bouy. I get a little further out on the reef. And even more lobsters . Everywhere. Walking, holed up. Everywhere. Then next thing I know I'm engulfed by thousands of mangrove snappers. big boys too up to25 ". Monsters . I shoot one and get him to the surface.
Next thing I see is and 10 ft bull shark at the tip of my fins. So I said F this. Let the mangrove go.
Next thing I know two of the lobsters start freaking out in my wetsuit. I kid you not. I have never been so scared in my life. I swore I thought I just got bit by the shark. Ended up seeing two other while I worked on catching the rest of my Lobsters as the thousands of mangrove snappers and muttons just circled my head.
Sounds like you went looking for “scared” and found it!
