Fishing Tips & Info

  Fishing 5/3/2010

Today, Saturday June 12, 2010 the Pasco County OEM, Port Richey Mayor Richard Rober, chief of police and a group of 50+ citizens meet at City Hall to discuss and/or prepare for the oil encroaching on our beautiful West Pasco shorelines.

What is needed now is "EYES ON THE GULF" we need everyone to keep an eye out for any signs of oil. Eventually they believe we will get some tar balls, tar pies and some sheen or slick on the surface. Our plan is to get to it before it gets along our coastline. For that, we needd boaters to keep a watchful eye.

If you see any of these or any other material - write down the latitude and longitude, date, time and call the Coast Guard on VHF Channel 16. If you do not have a VHF radio and are in range call the info into any land line you can and ask them to call Pasco Office of Emergency Service (727) 847-8137 with the information.

We are our own First Line of Defense

NOAA Closes Commercial and Recreational Fishing in Oil-Affected Portion of Gulf of Mexico

Gulf oil spill hasn't made it close enough to hurt us yet BUT it is just at the northern edge of our famous "Middle Grounds". A map of the close area can be found at NOAA Fisheries Service

Where to go boating?
Now that you are ready for a day of boating, fishing & diving what type of day is it to be? Perhaps fishing early then some casual boating near shore, to end the day. Or, stay off shore all night. All these have their own needs to ensure you have a good time. The worst thing is breaking down and then having things you need back at the house.

SCUBA DIVING SCUBA Info  
Hudson has premier scuba diving in fresh and saltwater. Instruction and dives can be set up with our local dive master. Visit Capt. & DiveMaster/Instructor Dennis Darragh
 
LEARN TO SCUBA DIVE from DiveMaster/Instructor Dennis Darragh
 
Scuba Diving is a passion of mine that I wish to share!I have been teaching SCUBA since 1989 in Florida Learn Privately at your own pace. Even on your own boat if you would like. I feel as though anyone can learn to dive given the proper instructions and time. With that said, I want you to know that I do NOT just pass everyone and and give out certification cards easily. You DO HAVE to be able to MASTER the Basic Skills.

Since the year 2000, I HAVE BEEN CERTIFYING SCUBA Divers, Thru PDIC which stands for PROFESSIONAL DIVE INSTRUCTORS CORPORATION. Check their site:PDIC

Come to the sunny West Coast of Florida to learn or I am willing to travel to your destination. Travel Packages available almost anywhere.
The diving here in the Gulf Of Mexico is the perfect place to learn as we have very diverse conditions and sites to dive. Even if the weather is bad in the Gulf, we have inland dive sites like Crystal River and many sinkholes that provide alternate locations.
