Ocean was amazing today. Like glass with 20+' of vis. Got a lingcod, a blue rockfish, a greenling and three scallops. Mmm.

RandyRhoads I know this is late to be saying this but my heart goes out for your lost. I know what it feels like to go on a recovery. I did it twice, although the last didn't start that way. When you are on ground the sights and smells stay with you. You never get over them.
Make sure its leagal to spear bass and sunfish - most states allow spearfishing for rough fish but not for gamefish !Quote:

In Ohio its only legal for rough fish such as carp and suckers and you DO need a license to do it !Quote:

Notice: legal for rough fish, not for gamefish such as bass and sunfish in the original post. Get caught spearing anything like that here can get you a fine. In fact, taking of gamefish here is only legal by regular angling methods such as baited hook and line, no spearing, snagging, or trapping allowed for them. But snagging, spearing, trapping is legal for rough fish. Now in a real survival situation I don't think I would worry too much about whats legal - if I'm hungry and I can get a fish by spearing, then so be it !Quote:

Yours included. Nothing wrong with rough fish, they're a fun ride!
Thanks hunter!!
Cool vid and cool shots from the new toy.
OK, but the reason I specified "rough fish" was for an example as the original post mentioned spear fishing for bass and I didn't want to see him get himself in any hot water if it was illegal to spear them in his state. Its always good to check the game laws first !Quote:

So we were supposed to go diving in Carmel Saturday but the weather turned bad and we cancelled last minute. Come to find out the guys that did go there that morning had a surprise visitor.

Looks like Karma was on your side.
I gotta start a list for California.
Offfff....?
Of reasons not to go there. I have a great list of reasons not to go to Florida. Sharks are on the Florida list so California needs a list I'm afraid. I've heard rumblings of earthquakes in California. That goes on the list. (rumblings of earthquakes. I slay myself).
