Nope, just with my snorkel

Nice, welcome to the forums

It's a privilege Terry, thanks immeasurably again for the enormous amount of work you put in with the mlpa's.

Headed out with a buddy of mine that's just getting into diving this afternoon in northern pv, water was effing freezing. Seriously, almost turned around and went home the minute that trickle of water squeezed into the back of my wetsuit. Glad I didn't though, ended up scooping one up in the mid 20's and my buddy got his first squeaker with a 75cm I'd lent him. I'm sure he'll be putting something up about it soon enough

Vis was in the 10-15ft range, no bait, did I mention it was effing freezing?

Not the biggest fish but it's the first sizable thing I've shot in over a year, too many injuries too little diving, it's so great to be back in the water again! Cleaned her on shore so she looks a lot scrawnier than she used to... Oh, and a 150+lb bsb decided it wanted to sample the tail end for some reason.

I've heard young guys at my old dojo use the term, It is most likely in a Urban Dictionary I would suppose.

On an even further derail, what do you train?

She said one boy was driving the boat and the other two were holding ropes and trailing behind the boat with spear guns at the ready. One boy's spear gun fired, apparently by accident, and the spear struck the other boy, Barbera said.

Wow. um... wow. Where the heck was the parent/boat owner during all of this?

Wow, good to hear you saw them out there, I went on Saturday and didn't see a thing. Now I've gotta go out today to redeem myself

Headed out yesterday at arounds 5 pm in north central pv, it was lifeless. No bait, not much in the way of gamefish and only saw a few nice calicos, didn't pull the trigger on anything. Water was green, 10-15ft hazy vis, not much swell, and aside from that it seems a bit chillier than usual. It was just one of those days where you could swim about 30 yards into the kelp and just know that you weren't gonna see much that day.

keep it moving...

Cam schools us all again

Wow, I can't believe it's still that freezing here!

Thanks much for the heads up, the waiting continues...

Thanks for the report Chris, now I don't feel like I'm missing out as much

good call, little jbls are the gun to learn with.. not complex yet they usually work

Funny part is this one's about 44" I think or something along those lines, I'm guessing the usable range is like... 44"

Now that's some quality recycling right there, great score Mike!

Yup, it's one beefy tuna gun, you've been missing out

Actually if the owner doesn't turn up I'll be donating it to one of my buddies that's just starting out, that way he can learn to stalk fish.

The way it was rigged it looked like they were swimming out and it fell off a float board or something, even though it was loaded and in the middle of a kelp bed it wasn't ready to shoot, so fortunately it didn't look like they were diving at the time. Did look around but didn't see anything else, hopefully they're ok and turn up looking for their gun

Dove northern pv yesterday evening. It was low tide but in some spots the vis was a green 15 feet. Saw one 30"ish fish and one in the 15-20lbish range and that was it. Swell was down and the temp was in the 65-66 range, fish were in the top 5-10 feet.

It felt really fishy though and I did hear some croaking so they're still out there, I'll be hitting it up again this weekend with hopefully better news. The vis was definitely good enough to keep hitting pv though, some spots it's much but once you get 100 yards out it's cleaning up pretty nicely.

keep on scrolling

Found a recently lost jbl explorer in pv yesterday, the bands were still loaded and it still looks really clean. Definitely lost in the last two weeks at most. Anyone have a dive buddy missing a gun?
