I hear today is the first official day of Summer!

Spent a loooot of time this Spring playing in the sandy shallows.

Here’s a vid of some of my favorite clips from these sandy adventures.



I lucked out and was able to take advantage of some good conditions, and brought home 10 yummy fish for family and friends, and was really happy to have three days where I got doubles.  :smt004

Considering that I was only able to shoot 7 between 2010 and 2017 I am STOKED to have gotten 10 this Spring!!  :smt007 :smt007

No real monsters (22-29.25 inches) but all were happily and quickly devoured by my family and friends.  :smt003

Right now the water around here is cold and super murky, so hoping the Summer brings us better water and more and bigger fish!!

Special thanks to my family for letting me get out there and dive!!

 :smt006

Sincerely,

Jim

ps...here's a 60 second InstaVid version for those with short attention spans.  :smt002

LEGIT! 10 this season is phenomenal.

Looking forward to popping a few of my own when the water clears up a bit.

I would be worried what specie's you gonna kill next year. 2017 the stripers got hammered by you and 2018 are the Halibut. LoL. The fish need to hold emergency planning sessions for you next year. :smt044

Nice work.  The underwater pics were good stuff.  As a non-diver, it was something new to see the flatties in their element.

Right on there Big Jim on getting it done.  I do remember your reports of past years and it is good to see your persistence and diving talents paying off big time for you.
