« on: November 24, 2017, 05:46:19 PM »
Just heard about an attack on a Kayaking free diver at Stillwater Cove.

serious injury but they think he will be ok. In case he's one of us thought I would post it.

Stay safe

Kayak Diving and Spearfishing / Ocean Cove tomorrow -can't make it now
« on: September 27, 2014, 02:57:24 PM »
If anyone is hitting Ocean Cove tomorrow. I was planning to but not need to help my folks out and can't make it. Tell Bloodbath if you can not to wait around for me. And good luck everyone that's diving tomorrow.

Right on! That sounds great. Would love to dive with you again, maybe I'll try and make a weekend of it too. I've got a bunch of fishing gear too but am mostly wanting to dive again!

thanks,

Sean

Going to hit Timber Cove tomorrow mostly to try and figure out my new fish finder. Going for Abs and some spearfishing if anyone wants to join me. Probably won't be launching until around 9am. If you feel like it please join me.

Thanks damdan,

Looks like 2-4 feet with wind 17-12 kts. I guess we'll go see what it looks like.

Kayak Diving and Spearfishing / Ocean Cove tomorrow?
« on: May 11, 2014, 09:59:50 AM »
What is the best site to use to predict conditions? I have to say I'm totally confused. Thinking about meeting two friends for a kayak dive tomorrow at Ocean Cove. Stormsurf shows a lot of RED 24 hours from now with little blue slices by the coast. Also pretty windy later? Is it going to be crap tomorrow or ok for the morning hours.

Thanks,

Sean

Kayak Diving and Spearfishing / Re: Setting up my new Kayak

Thanks John,

A kelp clip seems easier for sure, that's what I use with the boogie board.

When I use the float line I just have it attached to my boogie board not hooked to kelp. Do you use yours connected to the Kayak? I range around and am wondering if people use a separate float or just to their kayak.

I guess I'll just stuff the pfd in my bow hatch too.

My Riffe Euro is the '75 model', it's actually bigger than 75cm and I find it is often too long to use in the average conditions. On a clear day the Euro is awesome, most the time with my arm extended I'm already running out of vis. The barrel is actually 40" or 102cm and to tip of the shaft more like 50" or 127cm.

Have been thinking about getting the shortest Rob Allen, now that I have a kayak i could put both in there.

thanks,

Sean

Kayak Diving and Spearfishing / Setting up my new Kayak
« on: April 27, 2014, 10:07:58 AM »
I just got a Ocean Kayak Trident 11 and want to use it for abs and spearfishing. Am curious about setting it up and how people stow their gear, use it while diving. Have been using a customized boogie board that doubles as backpack and usually have a game bag, ab guage, iron, floatline, flashlight, float line. All of them secured to a few clips off the boogie board bow.  Was hoping to get some thoughts on what else I need, where you stow gear, etc.

* Should I get an anchor for ab/spearfishing? If so what's best
* I use a Riffe Euro 75 and pole spear, stow them in the bow hatch?
*Should I just attach hang my game bag, floatline, iron, stringer in the live well area behind the seat?
* Without the boogie board do folks stow a separate float to run a line to or use the kayak? Use my pfd?
*Do you have to have a pfd on board if you are in a wetsuit? If yes just cram it in the bow hatch?
*Where do you stow your fins/gloves while rowing out,

If there is an old thread that covers all this maybe someone can point me to it. Looking forward to venturing farther with my kayak. Maybe outfitting it for some line fishing too at some point.

Thanks for any help you can give me!

I might be able to make it Saturday morning. I would have to meet you there though as would be heading east after. Are you on a kayak or shore diving? I don't have a kayak yet. How is it looking for the weekend?

Sorry I missed this, hope you had a good dive. I'm looking for people to dive with so maybe next time we could meet up there.

Thanks Joe,

I stopped in Jenner at that store and the guy working there and I kept trying to print out a dup of my ab card and the system wouldn't let us. That explains it. I just wrote all the info on the blanks for the 3 I took yesterday. Also got a couple rockfish with my polespear after. I still have that harness if you want it.

Dying to dive with you again man! Let's do it.

Sean
