Tomorrow, 11/16?

    Report from yesterday:


    Dove in Laguna around 10:30. Vis was a beautiful blue 25' away from the kelp. Inside the kelp was more like 15-18 and greenish. We had a few sets of bigger waves come through and really stir up the bottom. Lots of bait, but know big game fish. No hails, no wsb, no yt, a few barely legal calicos and sheeps, no sandies... Hell I didn't even see any bat rays. Very nice being in the water, but I was really hoping for more targets.


    Now, I know everyone is going to say I am crazy or just wrong but I found an ab that is at least 11". I don't have a gauge. Instead I held a piece of eel grass between my first finger and my thumb with both hands. The rest of my fingers were streched outright, so my hands and the eel grass resembled an ab gauge. Doing so allowed me to get the most accurate diameter of the shell. Once I had my fingers on the edge of the ab and the eel grass was pulled tight, I simply pinched the grass to break it. The eel grass was not bent around the shell. The eel grass measured 11.25 inches. I am going to take a ruler and a camera out next time!

    haha you know what you should do Darren? If you do get a picture of a 11 inch abalone in SoCal next to a ruler, you should post a story on spearboard about seeing a massive abalone in that had to be 11 inches (without the picture of course). Then after a bunch of people post up on how there's no way the abalone could be that big in SoCal you could post the picture as proof. It would be hilarious seeing how they would respond to that :D

    Right, then some of us would want to read the drama I suppose. :rolleyes1:;)


    All I can say is I roll right tpast Jerry Springer when I'm flipping channels


    Cheers, Don.
