its that time again, last night i was in the water from 7:30 pm till 2 am, didnt even care when my torch batterys died ! every full moon dip in the sea ive done, it allways amazes me how clear the water is, and how much life is around, swam through a school of some sort of jellyfish that hurt pretty bad tho, that kinda sucked :duh guess i should be pointing the light where im going sometimes instead of trying to poke sleeping parrotfish rofl
end tally of the hunt? 2 spiney lobster (2 and a half lbs, and 3 lbs) 1 slipper lobster that i didnt weigh, but was about 4 inches wide in the tail (does anyone have any tips for finding these?) and 6 squid in the 10 inch range..no fish, didnt see anything that looked challenging that i could actually get close to. saw a lot of parrotfish, all sleeping in cracks, i picked one up and rolled him around before he seemed to realise what was happening, that was worth a good laugh, a few jacks that kept their distance, even tho i *think* i got close to one after my light stopped working, and a big permit, musta been 40 lbs, he decided that something pointing a light at him couldnt be very friendly, so he headed off for the safe haven of deeper water (at night i generally stay in about 20 feet of water)
anyone else in here like getting in the sea at full moon?
