quick ??? that i have asked before but cannot remember the answer...would a three prong spear be any risk when bugging since it is not a hook at all? seems like it might be a helpful tool since I always see big fish when I dont have my gun ....D'oh!
its up to the dfg officer..I have heard that anything long like a stick can be used like a tickle stick and those are illegal.
quick report....sorry no pics
dove with yutaka and john hughs last night for limits of bugs
real bad red tide out of redondo but it cleans up deeper then 15ft.
wind and swells were pretty calm and I saw a 20lb ling cod but was not carrying my speargun since I was hunting lobsters.
I know where he lives and will be looking for him next time I am out!!
a little more info as requested:
I have had a boat in Redondo Harbor for over 10yrs and enjoy meeting new people and taking them out diving or fishing.
Here is a few pics of people I just met this year and some of friends I have known for alot of years now
Ron and Chris
MikeLB and Chris Oaks
Yes 4" and 35 is the daily limit! Where are you diving where your only seeing shorts? I havent seen to many under 4". No joke the spot i have been diving the last two days has 25 5-7" crab per rock. You can just flashlight em into your bag or grab there back two legs and they wont get you. I was told by a fellow spearfisherman who use to catch them commercially that they would break the claws off at the 2nd knuckle and throw them back in cause they respawn there claws? Havent actually read anything about it though or how well that crab can survive with no claws?
Nice job on the bugs!
Its illegal to take a claw off since dfg has no way to tell if it came off a legal size crab
I heard there's a great bunch of guys hanging out here so here I am...
Looking forward to meeting and diving with new people
