Looking for a good book....wrecks/reefs.

I really want to start bottom fishing more..Have found a few nice hangs looking around 13 fathom . (Concrete balls, Tiger wreck)..just looking to find info on the wrecks...I am thinking a dive shop may be my best shot?

    Get " Shipwrecks of the Sunshine State " By Michael Barnette .. I got my copy on here years ago , not sure if Mike is still a member on here anymore .. Has wreck numbers and history of the wrecks , these guys even dived the Cities Service Tanker and some other deep wrecks ..Pretty cool book

    Yes a very good read.

    This should get you started and occupy a couple hours of you time.:wink

    Offshore Brevard County - 2nd Edition by Capt Tim Carlile of Land & Sea Surveying

    Best $10 for an online book you'll ever spend

    The bottom images are incredible. Just wish there were more of the cape wrecks instead of Sebastian ledges. The author must definitely be a part-time lobster diver when he's not scanning!

    Well, I ordered one of his books (PDF version) over a week ago and have yet to receive it or even hear back from him.:shrug

    I can't find them now. I did pick up 2 good wrecks,reefs and spring books at a dive shop. It's public numbers and good places to start looking for new numbers on your own.

    Did you pay for it? I paid mine via paypal. Next day it was sent to my email in a locked pdf. Incredible imagery, just wish there was more PC bottom instead of SI.

    Yes, paid with PayPal as well.

    I ordered mine 4/28, received 4/29. Check your email junk or spam, or did you make a typo on your email when ordering?
    His name is Tim Carlile and it's legit. I will PM you his contact info.

    Gator, thanks for the info.
    I've checked the spam/junk folders and nothing there.
    They have contacted me and I'm sure we will get it worked out.

    Update. It appears it was a problem with my email account (Roadrunner).
    He had tried to contact me numerous times but they never went thru.
    I just got off the phone with Tim and everything is taken care of.
    Just want to set the record straight that this wasn't their fault.
