That is awesome. The cordeliar technique makes plenty of sense. I always wondered about what happens if someone blacks out at depth how do you get them back up safely. This is a great idea. I wonder if this would work in murky kelp forest waters like here in California. Thanks for sharing.

I love to eat sheephead I dont know why people don't like them they are a mild sweet fish. I think they are better then halibut personally. They basically eat uni from what I understand and I love uni so maybe thats why I like sheephead?

I have heard some species can get aggressive, whats the method for dealing with them if they get to be a nuisance or aggressive? Nice haul
Harbor seals usually follow me around for a while before leaving me alone. I usually just charge them and scream underwater at them. Doesn't always work since they are so curious. I had one swim on my back while abalone diving and another in Laguna swim in between my legs right on my decent. I have noticed that they like to nibble on my fins. They are sneaky curious creatures. I have only had one experience with a sea lion and it was while diving in Catalina on a deep ledge. It came around a rock and swam at my face and blew bubbles while doing a loop like a roller coaster then disappeared then came back and did it again but to my right side. It made my heart race since I never saw it coming. I didn't have much of a chance to swim at it and yell but it left me alone after it startled me twice.

Yeah the bottom one is a female sheephead. The seals are a pain and scare the crap out of me when they sneek up on me. I have a hard time relaxing around them kills my bottom time. But they are interesting to see and for fat sausages are amazingly graceful underwater.

Nice! With your new fart gun too.

I decided that Sunday was going to be a great day to dive. I went out with less then 1 foot swells and about 15 feet of viz on the bottom. I tail grabbed a shovelnose for a little excitement and then let him swim off. I'm pretty sure I caught the tail of a WSB going into the kelp but as soon as I saw it it was gone. I also saw a short barracuda and a school of baby leopard sharks. I was also harassed by the local fur bags. Not to many fish out but I did find a few that wanted to hitch a ride to Pasadena for some AC and eventually a hot oil bath. Its been too long since I hit the water. Sorry for the non scenic cellphone pic but its all I have for the time being.

Looks like an awesome vacation in Humboldt. Thats a great fish you have there too.

Welcome

Nice picture. That fish looks really large too. Is that a cod?

I booked an overnight trip on the Cortez out of San Diego in search of yellowtail and mahimahi a little while ago. I managed my first yellowtail and couldn't get a strike on the mahis but I could see them everywhere. Here are a few pictures of the trip. The Hamachi kama and Hamachi sashimi was awesome! Looking forward to pulling some more up hopefully with my speargun the next time.

Sashimi looks good. Congrats!

Thats awesome! Congrats on some nice fish. I was out last week hook and line fishing and managed one but I wish I was in the water. The mahi where swimming everywhere.

I know its an older post but it is a really good one. That ling is massive! I have heard that the monkey face eels are tasty but I haven't had the opportunity to try one yet.

Looks like a nice feast. Those boards must make things very nice when grabbing urchins and abs. Plus the gear holding capability.
How do you cook those mushrooms? I have never seen them before.
-
Thats a monster lingcod! Congrats. You have a stringer of some of the best tasting rockfish. Way to go.
