People always say we're lucky for being close enough to it to dive it. I've never seem what's so great about it. Actually never shot a fish there.
If you've got any better spots you wanna share, I'm all ears.
Better visibility does not equal better fishing. You're diving productive areas. Learning to spearfish in marginal conditions will give you a huge competitive advantage.
Diving PV (Palos Verdes) is all about diving PV (poor visibility)..
That operation looks completely safe. I see no potential for disaster...:@
If you had time, a picture wil be appreciated

Not sure what you want to see. Here is the orange dynaglide and also paracord wishbones discussed in another thread.
Orange dynaglide is nice stuff for our local conditions. Easy to follow in murk to cut a fish out of kelp. Can be easily retied in the water if needed. No crimping. You can quickly put a loop anywhere on the line to attach float bag or surface floats.
I'm not sure I have the math worked out correctly. If I were to put that shaft on a roller gun I would get a range of roughly 70ft....
Have you found any issue with premature ware? I've polished my fins up to 1500grit so there shouldn't be any sharp edges.
No issues. They outlast the latex bands and I generally reuse them in the new bands.
I have used it for many years. No issues.
A wahoo was speared in LA county earlier in the week. I guess you never know. Keeps things interesting.
The diver seems to have an obsession with his dive watch. Depth, bottom time, surface interval...blah blah blah.
Glad it ended well.
What you are about to witness is real. The participants are not actors. They are the actual people who have already either filed suit or been served a summons to appear in a California municipal court. Both parties in the suit have agreed to dismiss their court cases and have their disputes settled here, in our forum: The People's Court.
Sounds like a bummer situation.
I have a few Biller/ Sea Hornets. One from the 1960's. I like the guns for some types of hunting but they do have some limitations. The accidental discharge your getting could be from a damaged mechanism not one thats worn out. Never use the trigger as a vice to remove or install tips. It will bend. Other than that it should last until the plastic gets brittle.
Good luck.
Also "letting go" applies to the weight belt. I make mine from recycled fish weights so they have no value. I might keep a beater knife on it but nothing that would make me think twice about ditching it.
Might be the only scenario where Mako out performs its competitors.
If you dive with a partner you should have a conversation about the level of support your going to provide each other in the water before getting wet. Maybe you watch your buddies every dive or go do your own thing and never cross paths. Regardless you should know what the expectations are.
Good El Nino video from Nathan Cool. Nice graphics.
So sad. RIP
I've proabably been out on the water 30-40 times this year since June and have yet to comensure upon a single ghost. The hook and line boats had a decent few days earlier this year but have had terrible counts also. We obviously have a lot of yellows that keep it interesting but has anone else noticed a drop off in wsb sightings/harvest this year? Many of the divers I chat with on the beach are noticing the same thing.
I dive from pv through Malibu up to about the ventura jetty.
Sounds like you put in some water time. It can be helpful to keep a journal of your dives. Date, time of day, ocean temp, tides ,visibility, bait, bird activity, species present or absent....etc. After a while you will know when conditions are more favorable for certain species to spawn out. So you can focus your hunting efforts on high odds days.
Don is right about going North. I surfed the Elephant Seal Reserve in San Simeon about a month ago and regretted not bringing a speargun. Conditions were epic and fish were plentiful.
Good Luck
Mike
