Full moon night fishing has been good for me as well. Changes in the moon usually equates to tides and current with a full moon typically having a larger tidal swing so that makes sense.

Don
Sounds like the same reasons I prefer not to fish on full moons during the day because of the nocturnal activity from the moons light.

That's very interesting. I didn't realize that the moon had so much to do with the snappers spawning activity. I guess its cyclic sort of like the spawning activity of the California grunion? Regardless it makes sense to chase them when they are preoccupied. Its like deer hunting during the rut I imagine.

I have noticed a few different threads where divers where excited about going out after a full moon to dive. As an angler I always avoided the full moon because the bite was always slow the following day and preferred fishing when there was little to no moon. Is my experience of lack of fish after a full moon from an angling perspective off from a divers perspective? What do you consider a good diving day when looking at a lunar calendar?

Happy Birthday. What a way to celebrate stomach flu and a nice catch. Hope your feeling better.

Bienvenido

Bienvenido. Buzios es muy lindo pero no conosco a nadien qui hace buceo aya. Donde en Chile buceas? Yo vivia en Vina del Mar cerca de el casino por un tiempo. Ojala voy a regresar en enero para visitar a mis suegros.

Welcome. What is SRQ?

Those are some nice fish. Do the hog fish have a large cheek muscle? I would imagine they would be large with such a long mouth and tasty.

Welcome. A 4lb tako well feed a lot of people. Did you bite it between the eyes? I don't feel comfortable doing that yet. I love uhu especially deepfried with sweet and sour sauce. Everyone here loves pictures and videos so post them if you have them.

Actually, I'm currently out here satellite tagging sperm whales but I did a brief stint in the GOMEX oil patch during another life.

Working with sperm whales must be really cool. Do you have any pictures you can share with us?

Welcome. Sounds like your working on a rig in the gulf.

Welcome

Looks like Aleut art work.

nice swordfish inshore hunting:nono::)

an inshore swordfish capture report:

SpearFishingMotion.com

That's a cool report. Its illegal to spear swordfish in california but it is realy cool that these guys where able to see one from the kelp.

Anders those gloves look heavy duty. How do you like the mitten type gloves compared to non mitten? You must be in some very cold water.

I saw this on you tube and thought it was pretty cool for a dive out of a kelp bed. Check it out.

Very cool pictures. Congrats on some cool looking fish.

Quote from Hardline

Any tips on making the Ceviche before I cut him up?

Slice in to bite size pieces and cover with lemon and lime juice. Make sure its fresh squeezed. I like to add roasted red pepper, mango slices, cilatro and maybe some tomato. You can also add some salt, pepper and/or hot sauce or peppers. Let it rest in the fridge for a while to let it chill and cook then enjoy with some tostadas and a cold one.

Sweet. Congrats on the ab and the fish. Those are some monsters.
