Spearfishing 1/30 Sonoma Coast

Conditions look amazing tomorrow (Saturday 1/30).  We are headed out to either Gerstle, Stillwater, Timber, or Fort Ross, still deciding; probably Timber as the swell looks sub 300kj and shortest haul across the beach.   

I'll be spearfishing, although we might bring some traps as well, or toss just some snares in between dives in the sand.  Will be on CH69.  Red Vibe Shearwater and a grey camo Jackson Cuda, yellow PFDs. 

Going to be a lazy start; shooting for 8am, but in all likelihood and the way things have been going, more like on the water by 10 or 11am. 

Anyone else planning to be out? 

Good luck out there.

By the way, where do you get wave energy info?  Thanks!

Surf forecasts generally have wave energy.  Unfortunately, things were still pretty churned up and visibility wasn't good above 20 ft.  Decided to just shore fish, and had no luck with the fish, so took home a cooler of urchins and some crab. 

Conditions were too good this Sunday not to scuba.  Did some dives at Gerstle Cove, spotted some serious ling and cabs, but got too exhausted to head back out with the gun.  Made me consider stashing my gun at the end of the reserve to grab something on the way back in. 

Jim, nice gift to help your buddy and his dad
