Spearfishing Boca Grande at the phosphate docks

[@JACK-el7ok]

Hell yeah, Boca grande is so awesome 👌

[@Vdubbz]

Great video man! Love how you identify every fish you come across.

[@skindiver61]

Lol. Just the ones I was interested in shooting😉

[@SWFLSpearo]

Sick video. Crazy how calm it looks compared to when we were there few days later lol definitely important to time the tides there

[@SWFLSpearfishing]

Someone told me they are cracking down on people spearing here. Could be whack into tho. Is it still legal ?

[@skindiver61]

Lee county passed a code (2 years ago) Where you're not allowed to spearfish within 500 hundred yrd of the shore line. Years ago (10 or so) you couldn't spearfish in charlotte county (the Train track trussels). What I heard was the county couldn't make a code that superseded the state. So they did away with that code.

[@skindiver61]

These are different rules than the normal.No spearfishing within a 100 yards of a public swimming beach, public fishing pier, or state park. And yes They started giving out warnings.I know two different people that got them, It says no (spear fishing) , So Grabbing stone crabs and snorkeling are probably okay

[@SWFLSpearfishing]

@@skindiver61 we dove the furthest broken phosphate docks the last 2 days without any issues and seen some other divers there. It’s gotta be 500 yards exactly from shore

[@skindiver61]

This was 2 or 3 months ago. Maybe something has changed. I'm not sure

[@mgtyquin13]

Hey Nelson I just move here from Fort Lauderdale can you scuba dive in that area? TIA

[@skindiver61]

Yes, but be careful of the current. Generally, incoming tides are better.

[@mgtyquin13]

Thank you

[@Fishinmission007]

Never any shark problems?

[@skindiver61]

It just depends on the time of year, last month in november they were horrible down there, I think they were migrating through to the keys for the winter,and April-Jun during tarpon season the shark can get bad to.
