Good job guys
Was it a day trip or where you there all weekend?One day of fishing on Saturday. We stayed the night in a boat slip and made the return trip early Sunday morning.

Need to see video!

Now that's a work of art!

Haha you know I would!
But they'd never let me get away with it. Only aquariums are allowed to catch lobsters that big out there. It's illegal for everyone else to catch lobsters with a carapace over 5".
I wonder how big that guys carapace is? Over 9 inches maybe?

The PVC was probably used like a slurp gun or maybe a water gun.
Yep it was a water gun. Sucks in water and then shoots it out around 15ft.
I didn't realize that you could spearfish in fresh water here. I will have to look at the regs again.Very cool report.
I was spearfishing in Nevada.

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.

But possible solutions to 2 out of those 3 problems. You could try DiveR fins, the extreme angle on the blades could remove the surface slap issue. And I think you already have this, but a weight vest would take weight off your belt.
So then the only reason to use the extra fin/ankle weight would be to help with leveling off u/w.
-
As long as the foot pocket is solid and the fin blade is the right stiffness I would imaging losing weight on your fins would improve your performance. Since the fin is just an extension of your foot. How would adding weights to your feet make you go any faster?
Do you have problems with your feet being too buoyant making it an issue when you're surface swimming?
I used ankle weights for a while in the past. It helped for surface swimming, but I noticed my legs would get really tired after 3 hours of diving. How long do you normally dive for Mike?

Hahaha! I guess anything's edible if you deep fry it.

Here are a couple from MT
Third pic is my favorite!
Great stuff Daniel! Amazing work.
Here are two from my place in Mexico. Both are the days you dream of when you aren't there, as they don't come often, but always welcomed, especially during the window of our trips. The first photo is the view sitting on my porch watching the sunrise, no zoom. The second is my dad, a buddy, and I heading out to hit the local islands. Perfect day, where the water blended into the sky, and all was perfect.
Those are the days I dream of! Haven't experienced anything like that in Mexico yet, but I'm hoping to one day.

Definitely the best winter diving I've ever had. I'll share this pic from winter 2011.... a pair of legal bugs

duskydiver that light has 220 lumens.
For comparison.... my main dive light has 400 lumens and my small hand held dive light has 77 lumens.
I'd say 220 lumens is plenty bright for a small hand held light like that.

just so you guys know before you over react, the law was made to make it illeagal to play with balls while nude... its because nudists find every loophole in the law to exploit.
lol what? <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">

that is a load of crap...if i were you all I would be as annoying as possible to officials with a beachball or volleyball since they are allowed...show them how disturbing someone can be regardless of the ordinance...BS
They made it illegal to use a volleyball outside of a volleyball court.
So really you'd only be left with a stupid inflatable beach ball.
And the law was apparently created because LA officials were seriously concerned that people would injure themselves and other people with frisbees, footballs, soccer balls, or any other thrown object. They decided the only way to protect the citizens from these deadly toys was to ban all objects from being thrown on the beach except for inflatable beach balls. They only allowed beach balls because there is no chance it could cause injuries.
We live in a true nanny state, where even round balls or frisbees are considered deadly weapons in the eyes of the politicians.

Sweet catch! I've always wanted to spear a bonito.

I hate the LA Board of Supervisors. I seriously hope they rot in hell.

oh REALLY Daniel..is there an epic story you arent telling us???
haha I wish, I just have generous friends
And I made that recipe, probably the mildest ponzu sauce I've tried. I could dunk the entire piece of sushi and it wouldn't overpower the flavor of the meat. Nice taste for sure, just a tad watered down for my liking. I'll have to mess with the quantities next go around.
Thanks for sharing John ~

Perfect timing! I just got some fresh tuna today. I'll have to try making this.
