Introduction

Hello:

My name is Stephan, but just go by Steve. I live in Anaheim and mostly dive the Laguna Beach area. My skill level is pretty limited but I do consider myself to be a safe and considerate diver. I mostly enjoy hunting around reef structure for reef fish. I recently took my first WSB so with that out of the way I hope to finally take a halibut. Though I do have some "take" goals I'd like to scratch off my list, I don't have much of a competitive drive in regards to my spearfishing. I only compete against myself and enjoying the hunt is more important than my fish count. It would probably be safe to say that my interest in spearfishing is more of an extension of my enjoyment of hunting and fishing than it is an extension of my being a "waterman".

I don't care to mix politics with my diving discussions, but I do think it is necessary and appropriate to be involved in the political fight to preserve our rights to access and take fish.

Thanks for allowing me to join your group.

Thanks for the welcomes.

Don Paul, We've met before at one of the MLPA meetings, in Long Beach, I think. No worries about the fish pic. We've all seen a dead wsb by now so I'll just do a write up. I took the time to write it up a little elaborately for my own selfish pleasure and discarded it as childish rubbish but may as well post it in the CA section and let you all judge for your self.

Mike, thanks for inviting me to this site and for the gunny sack which I still use.
