So you do not find hunting Calicos hard huh? How big was the largest Calico you have ever shot? The larger ones 5+lbs are very difficult to hunt. They are very smart and cautious. Probably one of our most difficult fish to hunt.
And what about White Seabass? In about 1 month the Seabass will be moving into the kelp beds. They are difficult to hunt and probably Southern Californias most highly prized game fish.
During the summer yellowtail will also begin to show up. These are not so hard to hunt. But they get big and are very powerful. Capable of wrapping up and drowning a diver.
For Seabass and Yellowtail a large gun is needed. As they are large fish. 110cm minimum if using a Euro gun. And 55in minimum if using a American type gun.
As I told you before. Next time we do a shore dive... You are invited to come along. We will probably be looking for seabass or large calicos.

thanks for the tips. but yea i usually fish calico and kelp bass and i dont really find them to be to difficult. i would love to do open water hunting but that stuff scares the shit out of me. the whole shark just apearing behind you. yea not my forte. haha. i have never seen a white bass and i have never seen a yellowtail around my area although i would be stoked to hunt one.
on another note i will be goin out this saterday just a short dive off the cdm coast. trying to get some of my friends into it and showing them what its all about. my friend was talking about how he goes out and surfs every saterday morning just to get away from it all and have a sort of relazation/meditation time for himself and thats what surfing does for him. so i thought about it and thats what im gonna start doin exept for im gonna be goin out and start spearing. its a sort of nirvana for me a place i can escape and just be alone and think. so if anyone would like to join me thats where ill be let me know and ill give you more details...
