45lbs up the hill (video)…..

    http://cdocs.org/sdc19.htm


    I usually keep my lead stashed at the bottom of the bluffs. I have weights stashed at several spots around PV. Last week I had trouble finding one of my caches. I guess some one stumbled upon them. Anyhow, I need to make a few more weights but I am running low on lead. Decided to go get some free lead and beat the LA heat this afternoon. I swam out with a camera, game bag and a small float. Left the freedive fins at home and went old school with the voits.


    The swell was running with the incoming tide and the spot I wanted to dive did not look good. I hit another spot and still got bounced around pretty well. Like a pinball. It was a challenge keeping the camera still. I should have brought a bigger float. I ended up off loading three times as my float got submerged. After three hours I had 45lbs of sinkers. The sinkers tend to get bunched up in low spots in the rock. It was really a fun relaxing dive. The walk out was a PITA and my calves are feeling it.

    That's alot of pissed off fishermen right there!


    A very happy ladvr though, that's over $100 in lead right there, all for free! Puttin the "free" back in freediver, love it!

    wow I never thought about collecting lead out of the ocean. That's amazing Mike! And what a great video too. Makes me want to go on a lead hunting mission myself.


    But man you really hit the motherload in that one spot! You're a frickan lead prick.

    A bad day fishing is ALWAYS better than a good day at work.

    Marco. that's why I left California. At least now, I won't be affected by lead or anything else that only California deems harmful to the general population. It's a phenomenon that only occurs within the state borders: caused by extreme liberalism^^

    I am sure Jerry Brown will get that all straightened out John.:S

    Nice Mike..... now for a real workout.... leave the float at home ;)


    I've done this for years at Laguna...... but I usually limit it to 10 to 15#s per dive..... Keep the new ones for my H&L activities and re pour the old ones.

    What the hell!?


    Took me a while to figure what the hell I was looking at and reading about. I got if after the 3rd read and its pretty amazing.


    Nice work :toast:
