Good luck hookinfish. Good location to hunt for surfboard fins if the swell is down.

Into the fire? :@
J/K
Dan,
There are a few places in LA County where fires are permitted (last time I checked). My experience with this type of pit cooking has been in Maine and Hawaii. -
Sounds awesome. You're allowed to make a fire on the beach over there?
As long as you don't toss a football or frisbee.:nono:

How would you cook one that big?
Dig a large pit on the beach. Fill up with hot rocks from bon fire. Add seaweed, clams, mussels, sausage, cob corn, potatoes and said lobster. Cover with a damp canvas tarp. Let steam for several hour while enjoying some hard cider.

I'd like to see spearstuff (Daniel) put this one on his head. <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin">

Fact: The extent of the damage caused by the internet is hard to quantify.
Fact: Based on the above Fact we owe it to the next several generations of sportsman to take a cautious approach.
My tribe has a saying: "We do not inherit the earth from our parents, we borrow it from our children"
Lets make sure we leave something for the future in terms of plentiful game and personal liberties.
Peace out my brothers....

Just wanted to say thanks to Speardiver and Dan for not being anything like what spearboard has become.

If i'm correct wasn't Sutton a swing vote in favor of the stricter MLPA's? This is not good.

I think the distinction between recreational and low level commercial/subsistence spearfishing is important in this discussion. The fishermen, and their catches, the study is based on are all fishing with all kinds of equipment, from small boats in fairly unregulated waters and mainly targeting reef species and sell their catch locally to make their livelihood. In other words, they use whatever they can to make a living. In that situation it makes sense that changes in gear can change the species you target, and seeing how spearfishing can be very effective, especially unregulated and on certain species. Also, these guys don't have access to trawlers or large scale commercial fishing gear, which would probably be more detrimental to the reefs, but are not part of the study since they're not being used.
The gear considered to have the most impact on the reef was traps and spearguns, line fishing was considered the best. My take on it is that it's easier to target "reef-cleaning" and reef beneficial fishes such as wrasses etc. with spears or traps, as opposed to line fishing, which may be more effective in targeting predators..
Also, the main idea of the study was to identify fishing regulations that would allow low level commercial/subsistence fishermen to keep fishing while at the same time provide some ease on the reefs suffering from bleaching events due to high temperature/solar radiation. The other option to protect the coral is a total fishing ban and that is far worse for the involved parties.
However, the study is not applicable to recreational and well regulated spearfishing, which in my book is a different world when it comes to impact on fish stocks or reefs.Good analysis. I was thinking the same.

can't say that i disagree with any of the above views but the reality is we live in a place (ca) and at a time where the environmental point of view rules. i think the photo is regrettable, as i think photos of lots of dead fish, lobsters, etc no mater if they're legal or not.
now, we are faced with the possibility of someone completely opposite of the current president being in charge of the ca dfg, nice. keep pics posts to a minimum, show only your closets friends and people you trust, otherwise we are going to pay the price no mater where the pics come from.
just my 2c.
Thanks for summarizing my thoughts for me.

Great capture JDV. Congrats.

I probably average 4-5 hours on shore dives. The extra fin/ankle weight is supposed to reduce surface slap, help with leveling off u/w and has the benefit of getting weight off the belt.
-
I generally wear 1.5lb ankle weights or use 1lb fin weights. I am thinking a little mass to the fin is good especially with a thick wetsuit. What say you?

Is there a spear wound on this fish? Big fish.
