get pulled in from the deeper water...the theory i always heard, which supports Clark's, is that the sun can heat the surface of the deeper water which pulls the plankton and such up the water column during the low tide and as the tide rises, the micro food is pulled into the shallows.
i also heard this too from beach fishermen.
if you are near an inlet however you can slay on an outgoing tide 
welcome to the board
as for the nose blood, i think it just happens to some divers perhaps related to thin capilaries or nasal membranes..based on the fact that you are congested I would say it is more related to that...esp at the shallow depths you are diving
my advice would be to let your cold pass, then get in the habit of either taking sudafed the night before a dive of using a sinus rinse (i use the neti pot) often to keep your sinuses clear.
on a side note, since you are in my neighborhood, we wont be diving for a while looking at the extended forecast :@
happy and safe diving
I drill a hole into the middle of the tip of the aluminum rod, and out the side. I thread the mono through and melt the end. Friction is enough to keep it in there, the force the escaping lobster exerts is not enough to pull the mono out.
brilliant, thanks.
I will do that if I have to adjust or replace this one...i estimated the loop size and i think it is pretty good, but it might need to be a hair larger.
I think I jut need more practice but I seriously suck. Haha
How do you attach yours dan?
Anytime either of you want to come down I'll show you and learn
I made this as a copy of Bens as best I could remember is it like yours dan. This is the end of my tickle stick
pursuit fins are what i use and I love them
i dont know about wide footpockets, but I think there are some out there
you diving tomorrow buddy, anyone using the extra yak?
i am happy for you and humbled because of how awful I am at bugging...literally missed out on 30+ bugs in 2.5 hours today...hope the snare works better
our mini season is the wild wild west...really dangerous 48 hrs.
you guys be careful and dive safely
i am too....sort of..
my buddy just joined this boat club and has to do a few inshore trips before he can go off shore...so we cant leave the bay :@ oh well, he'll drag me around looking for anything..it isn't gonna be great, but it is still diving
if we stay north of mattheson we can grab bugs too?? hope we luck into something edible
although, it might not be possible to be better tha nthis :@
how is a guy supposed to stay at work? I ask you?
hell yeah Chris, great report brother...thanks
i love the smile in the last pic...very honest and genuine expression of the joy that comes from speardiving
welcome..we should defintely do a beach or kayak div soon, maybe sunday if the swell holds off
nice, I hope tomorrow is even better
i agree Dan. today is a beautiful day, hope tomorrow has some decent viz as a result
wow, that certainly sounds amazing.
have fun and be safe
i imagine the dollar goes pretty far no?
mmmmmm... Water ballasted carbon fiber. I may kill you and steal it while I'm there. Just saying...
Seems like fair warning
