At the second spot, I started having having some difficulty in lining up my shots. Basically, I felt like I would have better luck if I dropped my gun and tried to knock the fish out instead of shooting them so needless to say, I didn't do too well at this spot even though there were a few respectably sized mangroves (I didn't say I couldn't see them, just hit them). Luckily, I wasn't the only diver in the water and the others were able to make up for my temporary lack of shooting aptitude at this spot. The water seemed to get a little bit dirtier while we were at this spot so we decided to move on to one more spot. I don't know the count at this point, but I was pretty sure it wasn't anywhere near our bag limit so I wasn't too worried about having gone over the limit.

At the last spot, I was thankfully able to overcome my issues and start hitting the marks I was aiming at. By the time the other divers had figured the fish had thinned out at this spot, I made my way (albeit with some difficulty) to the boat with 7 fish (6 in my "catch bag" and the last fish I had shot still on the shaft). We checked out the count and were just under the limit, but we figured we could cut some of our younger passengers a break and head back anyway. Of course, by this time we skipped the second part of our plan since we had already kept everyone out for about 4 hours. But we weren't too disappointed since this was our best single day catch so far this week.
