he musta smashed it on a rock, theres no way a tail flick could do that.. ive had much bigger bugs tail slap my bare hand and it cut me up really good and almost made me let go, but wasnt even close to breaking bone.

"[quote='Tailsurfer','http://spearfishing.world/forums/index.php?thread/&postID=58940#post58940']Through the eyes of a PV outsider;
I assume this is because it is off the beaten path per say. I dive PV and I know from our boat trips that that spot is fish galor, but I'd rather have easy access by parking next to the cliff in North PV when shore diving."
Come on top tuna, you know la jolla is off the hook ;).
Out of curiosity Josh, how many legal wsb have you shot from that slide spot? I'd have to say it can be fishy, and certainly holds fish when the season time is right but no way is it fish galore unless you are counting opies and garabaldis. I know a lot of other spots around pv that hold more and bigger fish.
when tailsurfer says fish galore he means its wide open on 3-5 lb sheephead

Some of those polespear fish are pretty good raw.
i forgot about your polespearing missions.....which ones did you eat raw mike?
-
yeah but you only shoot halibut wsb yt and occasionally pick scallops.:D
i wish i was good enough a diver to be that picky! those are pretty much the same fish i target, but when my freezer is empty i add calico, sargo, rockfish and a few others to that list of targets. id rather eat local speared calico than store bought halibut. and id rather eat either of those than store bought poultry or red meat.
however i only make sushi from fish i catch, you wont see me paying premium prices for live or sashimi grade cut fish at asian markets. not only because i cant afford it, but also because the live fish and the tuna trade arent very environmentally friendly...

i still don't see the point of eating fish raw. i don't get it.
with some fish (bft, yt, rock scallop, and many others) i dont see a point in cooking them. they taste 10 times better raw, and are way healthier and more nutritious. however scorpion fish are not one of the fish i would choose to eat raw....have you ever even tried sushi?
-
im not sure how safe this is.....atleast its fresh....

tonight for variable conditions but it was an all around good dive. viz was anywhere from 5 ft to 15. surge from light to fairly heavy. good crawl on the high tide, but didnt last very long. no flatties seen, but tons of small baitfish were being pushed up. i went to investigate but couldnt find the culprit. i ended up with 4 bugs, and farmed a nice cabezon
-
dove lagun again. 5-15 foot viz, surgy, deeper water bugs were holes way up....dove hard for a while, but my buddy wasnt feelin it, it was his first dive. he got out, i went in shallow and found a big crawl in the 4-8 foot zone, and grabbed a bug and plugged a halibut in the surf before i called it a night. i have a pic, but you all know what a 24 inch halibut and a barely legal bug look like....
-
nothing photo worthy. had a barney dive, lost a snorkel, farmed a few nice ones, got 2 and 2 nice scullies.
-
look like you got some nice ones. im going out. ill post a report. dont worry it will not be in YOUR thread
-
now i know where not to go. bugs were running around like ants last night where i was, im headed back that way tonight.
-
got in around 8:15...south laguna. great viz (crystal clear to the end of the range on my c8 light) no halis seen, bugs were crawling in shallow. deeper spots werent so productive. grabbed 3 nice bugs. nothing massive, but the kind you know are legal way before you put a gauge to them. very surgy. got chased by a very obnoxious harbor seal. after an hour my buddies light died, and we decided to call it. had that not happend, it would not have been to difficult to limit. two other divers getting in as we were getting out.

Find a spot that is not accessible to bubble blowers, hoop netters and commercial trappers.
this is very true.
-
find the smallest hole you can find, wiggle wiggle wiggle. have a friend holding on to your ankles, and wear a belt that is easy to drop. if its pitch black in the hole in broad daylight, and your terrified of getting stuck, theres probably a big bug in there. ps, if you die its not my fault. i know of a few massive bugs in holes like these, but theres no way im going in after them. you can try baiting them out with dead bonita, but last time my buddy did that he got the tip of his finger sheared off by a moray and had to go the ER.

my name is mark and i first heard about freediving and spearfishing about 5 years ago, but didnt start diving regularly untill about the last 3. i live in orange county, ca, and spend most of my time and hard earned money chasing white seabass unsuccessfully. some of you may know me from spearboard, and a few of you have met me in real life. anyways thats my intro, if anyone wants to go for a dive sometime around OC or PV, shoot me a pm. i most dive tuesday and wednesdays, but i get alot of random dives in at other times as well.
