Dive Wreck "Busch Wreck"

"Busch" Wreck - ½ way between Looe Key and American Shoals. West of Looe Key.
NO SPEARFISHING ALLOWED :(
BUSCH WRECK
210 Ft Island Freighter, "Adolphus Busch Sr."
  Sunk Dec 5, 1998. In 100 ft of water with ship’s towers coming within 40’ of the surface.
 
24:31.81N 081:27.64W
i Wouldnt free dive under 50ft but on a good day the wreck looks great,visited once with my dad,back in 2009.

Has anybody been there recently?

Favorite Spearfishing spot !!

I'm Going to Marathon on 2/21-2/25. I have been there many times and the best spearing that I have found is by dragging a diver behind the boat headed south from Boot Key. the small patch reefs tend to be un-spoiled and produce some nice fish. I know that those of you who live in the keys have numbers to some great spots, does anyone have any "good" numbers that are off the beaten path>? I go to the keys many times a year and this one is a short trip I would like to save some time on finding good spearing spots. anything in the Gulf?i got a few good spots out maybe 3 miles out of "Ceaser's creek" a  mile west of Elliot key.
