Kip,
I would like to give you some advice. But unfortunately I live on the space coast, and am not that familiar with the panhandle. Although I do know there are some great dive sites in the area.Just can't tell you where. I dive mostly in the Keys.
You may need to keep moving this post ttt till Monday or Tuesday to get an answer on the hunting. This is the weekend of the TBOF State Championship shoot in Ocala, and it seems most of the Florida Boys are there except me!! Had to stay home cause my wife is having medical issues, and I'm staying close for support.(Yeah, I'm that kind'a Guy).
So keep the post alive, I'm sure someone will chime in after the weekend.
Hal
