Hit-and-Run off Point Loma

Buckshot, I have to apologize to you for using your thread to post this, but it is related to SOCAL SPEARING:

On Sunday August 13th at 6:45 PM a buddy and I were spearfishing off Point Loma at the Water Tanks. A Turqouise-colored "Chaparral" runabout (CF 0846 JF) ignored two dive flags (on the boat and on my float line) as well as my screaming and waving and ran over me and my rig. I was dragged for about 50 feet by my float line before I came untangled. My injuries were, fortuneately, fairly minor. The boat initially stopped (was pulling a lot of kelp along with my rig behind it). I confronted the drivers who proceded to flee as soon as I asked for their CF number. Fortuneately we got it anyway. Im posting for 2 reasons:

1.) Because I lost my gun, a Riffe Island with front and rear wing kits, and I am hoping some of you might find and return it (I was on the outside of the kelp directly off the coast of the tanks). The gun has the thicker shaft on it and an ice-pick slip tip. I would be very indebted to the person that returns it to me.
2.)to warn you about this extremely dangerous boat (more appropriate, dangerous operators) which hopefully wont be on the water much longer. The boat is a distinctive turqouise color and appears to be new. Its operators are currently wanted by the harbor police.

thanks,

Phil

Re: SoCal area spearfishing

Wow that is hoorible. Im glad that you wernt killed by those jackasses, prolly some rich punk kids that bought a new boat with money daddy gave them and have no clue how to use it or what to do. I hope they get the registered owner and slap the maximun penalty on them, and give them a hit and run on their record. I hope someone finds your gun and returns it to you. wont be me because I couldent even hit the bottom yet probally. is that spot in SoCal?

Buckshot-

Yes the spot is in SOCAL, in San Diego off point Loma to be exact. THe gun is neutrally bouyant, maybe a little positive, so its not likely to be on the bottom...no telling where it is, I only know where Ive thought about putting ever since that jerk ran me over!
Buckshot if you are in SD Id be happy to take you and your girl out some time, when i get my gun back/replaced.

Phil
