• Headed out with a buddy of mine that's just getting into diving this afternoon in northern pv, water was effing freezing. Seriously, almost turned around and went home the minute that trickle of water squeezed into the back of my wetsuit. Glad I didn't though, ended up scooping one up in the mid 20's and my buddy got his first squeaker with a 75cm I'd lent him. I'm sure he'll be putting something up about it soon enough :)


    Vis was in the 10-15ft range, no bait, did I mention it was effing freezing?


    Not the biggest fish but it's the first sizable thing I've shot in over a year, too many injuries too little diving, it's so great to be back in the water again! Cleaned her on shore so she looks a lot scrawnier than she used to... Oh, and a 150+lb bsb decided it wanted to sample the tail end for some reason.

  • Nice fish! I'll be headed up there tomorrow to see if I can get in of some of this. If anyone wants to go give me a call. (949)282-9882

    The only thing is that it's been really hit or miss lately, went out last week to one of my steady producers and it was a ghost town. I might be heading out again tomorrow though if work and diving don't end up wiping me out today, was really surprising to see any signs of life with the water that cold. Funny thing is I went out looking for 'buts, nearly 5 years living out here and I still haven't shot one of those things...

    Well, you're never gonna hit if you're not in the water, so I'll give it a shot.

    HAHAHA! I really hope you get on tomorrow. I'll have the camera ready when you do!

    South Bound.

    I think the rules are that if you bring a halibut gun a 90lber will swim by 12ft away, and if you bring a big gun the only thing you'll come across is a 24" halibut in four feet of water on a rock :D

  • Nice fish Miguel. Im the same way with buts. Only two with a ton of time time looking for them around pv. Guess I need more work on my halieyes. Congrats again!

  • I will for sure Mike, thanks very much for the invite :) Sometimes I get the feeling you could jump into a puddle on the side of the road and pull out a 20lber.


    Thanks much for all the kind words guys, it was great to finally get something decent this year, here's hoping the yellowtail come in thick soon!
