Went our for a afternoon dive that extended to the night. I saw three fish with yellow tails to my surprise. My 90cm single band did not have enough power though. I was looking for cabs:(. Gonna go look for them with the socal tracker 2 tomorrow and send a mori shaft and slip tip through one of them. Before it got too dark I spotted a bug out in the open and grabbed it and it was a legal one. Grabbed a few more and on the way back in found this little (yes it was legal) halibut lying down. I hurried to pull my float to myself to grab my gun and load it. By the time I did that I lost where the fish was or what direction it was in. I retraced the ledges I was hunting and found it after what seemed like 20 min. I have been having trouble finding halibut so to me it was a great reward because it have been over a year since I have seen on. Can't was for sesame crusted halibut. I owe this halibut to Q.
Last night

Nice haul man. How do you prepare the crabs? I always see them around, just never thought to grab any.

Juan I just boil them when I get hole then put them in cold water right away. I just threw them in the fridge after. And used them for the Cajun boil recipe I posted. Their shells are really tough though so you gotta take a hammer to them before you sit down for dinner.

The halibut looks like it wants to blend in with your counter top.

He might have been trying. I saw something where they put a flounder on a checkerboard and it changed colors to match it. It was pretty cool.

We used to have a tank divided into 3 different bottom colors. They would put some turbots in there, and watch them change color as they settled down. Pretty cool stuff. Thanks Brett!

Wanted to add this one too cause I finally got a chance to use the gun. I bought it from Captain Bly. The gun is pretty sweet. It is just under 90cm enclosed track euro. It is set up with one 5/8ths band and a 5/16 flopper shaft. Matt ground the tip down so the flopper would toggle with less penetration on fish while shooting into sculpin, cabs, ling, and halibut. I shot that halibut with the gun and it worked perfectly and very easy to reload with the enclosed track.
