So I went to Boomers yesterday at 2p.m looking for yellowtail(yeah right) or white seabass (no chance) and upon entering the water I find a speargun befor I put on my fins .So I attach the gun to the end of my floatline (not the smartest idea)and drag it through the reef , after grabbing (and releasing)a couple of short bugs I move on to the edge of the reef and I start getting in stealth mode .First couple of stringers i notice a few female sheephead and calicos .Suddenly on my next drop I feel my floatline hang up and I think to myself "why the hell did you pick up that gun" . So after pulling the gun through Boomers kelp for two hours and not seeing any fish worth taking home to the wife (she has become quite the fish snob),I head in more shallow ,hugging the reef and doing drops and looking for bugs .A few minutes into it I see this strange looking piece of kelp laying on a rock and I look a little closer and realize it's a Cabezon so I shoot him with my 120cm euro with a slip-tip ( I know , I know ,it's like taking a gun to a knife fight) . He had two crabs and a couple of octopus tenticles in his stomach. Nothing like your first Cab by the way vis was 10 ft in the kelp and 5-8ft inside the reef.
