dont be mislead by the "frog croaks" of the sargo. i've been hearing some fierce sargo croaking lately, mainly in the evenings. it sounds like a swamp full of frogs. just something to keep in mind.
I got some sargo video last week. They make good subjects. -
Roll um on there back. They fall a sleep. Learned it on Shark Week.

You sure get a nice variety of fish Joe.

And sharks are not a man killing machine- we are just by-catch to them.
Funny.

Joe,
The California section is private past the first page of a post. Dan hooked us up.Mike

Tough conditions.

Early in the season (Mid March) a lobster diver called me. He heard some croaking on a night dive in a kelp bed. Sure enough the next evening the wsb were in. Very good intel for being that early in the year. I would have never thought to dive it. The water was still 55 degrees.

Congrats

Great question. I shot this fish a few years ago at Catalina. Small male. You can hear it croaking at 15sec.. I don't pay attention to croaking when I dive. I know a lot of guys do.

Seabass are just one of those fish that will drive you crazy if you let them. I got over the big fish thing after my first really big one. I would rather have the smaller ones in the 15-20 range for consumption. Don't get me wrong though; if the first fish I see is a 60lber, I wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger! All I am saying is that I wouldn't pass a shot on a 20 lber in hopes that something bigger may come along. The fish have been so plentiful there the past couple of years, that seeing another "biggun" will come sooner rather than later.The smaller fish are harder to find then the 50+lbr's the last few years. I have yet to see a wsb under 25-30lbs this year.

Great report Mike.

I think its more of a PR issue. All of the bad press from finning. If I were to shoot a big angel shark 50+ lbs I would not post any pics and would make sure the general public were not around. I would enjoy the steaks grilled or as tacos if I were to shoot one. If I were in another country I would follow the custom.

Nice job. Where does all that stuff come from? Hardly any trash around here on the beaches and any trash there is usually has stuff living on or around it.
What Stephens pics don't show is the 60ft climb up the bluff on a small goat trail. We are the primary group that accesses some of the coves. Followed by the H&L guys.The debris mostly comes from the storm drains that dump into the ocean. Some trash is left by other groups that are to lazy to pack it out. Some trash that has been adrift gets deposited by currents and wave action. Considering the amount of people that live in the Los Angeles area the amount of debris is minimal IMO.

Nice work.

Welcome.
Corey,
Post a report sometime. Perch, opaleye or wsb. Rumor has it that you have had a heck of a spring.Mike
