Fuzz sighting

As per usual, I only got to dive with fuzz once last year...

After over 365 days of texting and bugging him, he finally showed up to my house at around 9am last Sunday...I'm usually already in the water and diving by then... 

Amadeo was meant to be there too, but life came up so he couldn't make it. 

Loaded up the yaks and gear in my truck and headed down to the spot.

Once we paddled out and jumped in we started hunting around for fishies, and of course fuzz found the first fishy spot.

After he called me over he dropped down and I wasn't surprised to see him come back up with a nice Red on his spear.

He told me there was another one down there but after multiple drops I couldn't find it, and then he went back down and confirmed it had vanished....so I shot a Blue instead. 

Awhile later I moved my kayak over in a little shallower and was pleasantly surprised to find a nice solid Red in only 33 feet of water. 

By now fuzz had two Reds on his stringer and the wind waves and chop were getting bigger so we started working our way back to the launch site.

Stopped at a nice looking pinnacle and didn't find any good fish, until I went to pull my anchor and there was a decent Cab sitting right there...always check your anchor! 

Hit up one last pinnacle and took an Olive, a nice Sheep, and a decent Ling. 

Fuzz took another Red and a Ling same size as mine.

Back on the beach we took some pics and scaled and gutted the fish and then headed home.

Super long day, but a ton of fun with a good friend, and very glad that we got some decent fishies.

The drive down and back gave us time to get caught up and talk about life, family, fish and stuff....and he drove back so I could enjoy several post dive beers as well. 

Will see if I can get Harold to come out and play again before 2020. 

Here's a bunch of pics and a little InstaVid.

Sounds like a great day. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for the great report and delicious pictures Jim 

Fuzz?? All I see is a fuzzy pic of someone 

No pic it didn't happen 

Just jealous that you got out there and not me

He wouldn't let me take any pics of him and his fish.......
