I knew the lagoon side was like that before I went down, but being Italian with a thick skull, I tried it anyway. The ocean side is a much better choice.

I haven't done any deep sea fishing in AC. You might want to ask Capt. Jeff about that. I know the reef fishing is big in AC, but I don't think big game pelagic species like Billfish are really targeted a lot by the guides here.

Angelo - great pictures! We've booked a couple of days with Severo, June 3 and 4, and it was great to see your pictures of him. Looking forward to getting some bones, permit, etc. Just out of curiosity, how far did you need to be casting most of the time for bones? and just to add my 2 cents, I'd have probably had a heart attack if I'd sunk to my waist in mud! I've been in mud before where I left a hip wader behind, but never up to my waist! And since i'm only 5 ft. tall, that might have been up to my armpits! Can't wait to go, but I'll stick to the reef side, and fish the lagoon only from shore or a kayak!

I think most shots were in the 40-50' range. My guess would be 20% of the potential shots were 60'+.
