I Know I Get Pissed Sitting At Work Like I Am Right Now And Aesthetic Is Like Hey Im Goin Out Soon If Anyone Wants To Come. Im Like Damn You, You Lucky Sob.

[kanakafari]

you are truly lucky aesthetics. I think back to the day when I was free from work and all other responsibilities.....damn do I miss it. you lucky bastard!!!

I remember someone asking about pics from me and beam's trip to Vicente, well here they are. A mediocre catch in my opinion, but far from impressive. The quantity was definitely there though. (3) Barred Bass, (4) Sheephead, and (1) Big Eye Rockfish. Any thoughts?

Be sure to let us all know how the Woods goes today. The conditions have been pretty ideal for that spot. It is a very fickle dive spot so you have to take advantage when you can. Conscious hunting to you.....

im on summer break right now so im trying to make the best of it while i can lol... this summer quarter is my last quarter of school and then its off to the real world in an advertising agency most likely. needless to say, i wont have much free time after that. lol.

it was a decent day at the woods. the shorebreak was around 2-3ft.. so that made entry/exit a little sketchy. other then that though, saw ALOT of calico.. all were roughly 1ft in size. towards the end i saw a large school of fish that looked like barracuda, but im 90% sure they werent. any ideas?

didnt really see anything other than the bass worth shooting at though, and by the time i would dive down to them (15-20ft) they would scatter into their holes and cracks.. and i could only follow them or hang out on top of them for so long before i needed air. i could feel myself staying down longer and longer each trip though.

nice fish kanak, it was me who asked.. might i ask what depths and types of underwater structure you are finding these types of fish at? i feel like all i ever see are garibaldi, perch, calico, rays and sharks.. with the occasional white sea bass or corbina.

aesthetic,

that was mainly in water roughly 10-15. the bottom varried from sandy to large / very large boulders with lots of hiding spots. I picked up a nice sheepshead in about 20-25ft hiding in the kelp.

The Calico is one of the spookiest fish, your dive must be very quiet and you must sneek up usually behind kelp stalks for your best chance. The bigger they get the more wary they are. But if you can get on them with a pole spear your doing just fine.

your bottom time will progress throughout your day diving.

good luck

thanks for the tips. i appreciate them very much and plan on keeping that in mind. ive actually gotten a few calico of legal size, so i suppose that i am doing alright so far. i havent even seen any of the fish you guys managed to catch, so im hoping to come across more species as i dive more.. im not sure if maybe its just the area that those species dont thrive as much, or maybe they are all fished out.. but i plan to have a few trips to PV in the near future.. and hopefully catalina, too.

its nice to hear though that those fish were caught in the depths that i am comfortable in. very reassuring. also, if i take that spare gun off your hands, i will definitely increase my odds of taking home a nice catch. the paralyzer tip is a blast, but i cant help but feel that one day im going to come across a fish that i cant take because of its limited capabilites, and thats never any fun. oh well though, i plan on using it for a good few months to perfect my technique and stealth so that when i do get a gun, i will be much more effective with it.

on a side note.. from sunday to tuesday ill be up north around the ventura/camarillo area camping with family on the beach. i definitely plan on bringing all my stuff, but i cant be sure what the area will be like.. im going to double check on where exactly it is, maybe if its not too far north of you guys we can meet up or something.. we will see.

im going to be down on 51st street in newport, on the peninsula near jack in the box for the 4th.. another girl we know is getting a beach house in the area too, so i will be running around everywhere.

definitely wont have any of my stuff on that day though, lol.. the only gear im gonna have is a bottle opener and some sunglasses.
