Hi Mike, welcome aboard your going to like it here with out all the name calling and rhetoric.
We are all friends here and brothers of the sea, thank you for your help with the MPLA.

How frickin cold IS your water? :@
Thanks! The water is hoovering aroung 60 degrees right now. Its been a warm water year for us. If the water was 80 degrees year round it would be a cluster ****. I like the solitude.:thumbsup2:

John,
That halibut pic is one of my all time favorites.

What percentage of the total shoreline is designated MLPA?
They "cherry picked" all the good habitat for reserves. The MPA as a percentage of the total coast is low but as a percentage of productive spots is high. I don't have the exact numbers in front of me.
Here is the link to California DFG web page regarding MLPA. We also have Federal reserves coming to California to close off shore waters in the near future.

Well, here is my intro. Been diving the Palos Verdes area since the early 1990's. All shore based diving. It is what I like most about California. Awesome shooting right off the shore. No need to hassle with the boats. Opportunities for quick evening dives right after work. My go to weapon is my Riffe C2. Two 5/8 bands and a 1/4 shaft. Lately I have been going pole spear only. Target species are anything from rock fish and perch to halibut,wsb and yellowtail. Anyhow, I logged on hoping to pick up a few gold nuggets to help my spearing.
