It's awesome, but it doesn't connect--yet.  I'm gonna rig up a my cruiser bike with a big basket so I can ride down there with my dive gear.  There's some great diving in there--on both the north and south sides.

Art (Hippy Killer) is gonna love this:

1) I broke my arm Paddle Board surfing!

2)  When I got out of the cast, I broke my knee on a mountain bike and had surgery.

3) The company I worked for was selling out, so I changed sides and now work for (hippy conservationists) The Nature Conservancy.

So anyhow, after all that I haven't thought about kayak fishing for a long time--but now I'm stoked to get out there again.  I'm stoked to be on the board again too.

Under the 2010 bail schedule it is $189 out the door with all fees, costs, etc. the actual fine is $25.

I've said it before, but I'll say it again. It's 2014. The license immediately on your person law is stone aged and only serves as a revenue generating trap to harass the honest sportsman.

+1  Completely stone aged and dishonest.

Nah....the logo is more like a boat with over limit stacks of dead lingcod piled clear above the gunnel.   There's a clear trail of exhaust in the air and floaters trailing behind me.  The color is iridescent cause of the sheen of oil I like to leave behind.  I'm at the helm.....madbumming a sixer of bud playing slalom with kayakers and cyclists.  My crew is raiding crab pots and randomly throwing two pound lead trolling weights overboard, just because.  I have a shovel on board to dispose of hippy carcasses, should the need arise.  And there's an army of boats behind me ready to raid Poland. And we party with Somali pirates.  And we do it all to the tune of "you know my steez" by gangstarr. 

That's the ex-kayakers logo :)

Dude, that is truly funny.  Way two thumbs up! (or whatever appendages).

Northern and Southern Jeffersonians all agree that we'd like to stop sending all our water down to Socal-ers.

Down there you guys party with "Ex-Kayakers?" What's up with that?  :smt044  Do they have, like, a logo with an outboard motor crossing a ling cod....

Well, at least fusion is not radioactive......It's fission you have to worry about.  If they start talking about fission, just say no.

Very Cool stuff--I wonder what kind of application there is for that?  Some type of crazy arc-welding?

So, like, NORCAL Kayak Anglers will be having a Holiday hoedown in Socal land? San Jose, were the hell is that?  :smt044

Just friendly chop-busting.  :smt003

Kayak Diving and Spearfishing / Re: GWS at Ten Mile River on Monday

I just think GWS will try to eat you if they see you.  They eat big critters that are swimming around--and we're one of those.  So, IMHO, Eric's right.  If they can't see you they can't eat you.    I think they tend to spit out humans after a taste because they don't like eating plastic and rubber, not because they're such foodies that they only deem to eat marine mammals.

I here you Dave.  My wife told me about that.  Then while I was out diving yesterday I saw a 3-4' sun fish and the white glare startled me.

Yeah, I came up next to one of those Sunfish the other day.  It had been killed by a sealion.  I came up with my back to it without seeing it and turned around and the big eyeball was right in my face....I squeaked through my snorkel.

Kayak Diving and Spearfishing / GWS at Ten Mile River on Monday
« on: November 19, 2014, 11:26:11 AM »
So I'm out practicing my deep free diving outside the kelp in the Noyo Channel yesterday, and today one of my surf friends sends me aerial photographs of a 16 footer at the mouth of Ten Mile river just few miles away.  The photos were taken the day before we dove in the Noyo.  I've got to say the GWS thing is my least favorite thing about freediving.  With fish, I want to be the eater, not the eaten.......It's just the way I roll.

Those things scare the crap out of me.

Sincerely,

Dave

Kayak Diving and Spearfishing / Flat as a pool table today...
« on: November 18, 2014, 06:33:33 PM »
My friend Larry alerted me that the diving conditions would be epic today, so we took off from work and dove right out at Noyo harbor entrance.  I just recently bought a surf SUP and have been trying to learn to surf it, which is way harder than I thought.........so, I've been out of the hunter/gatherer thing for a while.

Man, the conditions were epic.  No swell at all and near 50 ft viz........and still I couldn't shoot a Ling.  I put down my gun for a second to pry up this big ab, and that's when I saw the only one.  Dang.  Oh well, I got a 10.25, a 9.75, 9.25 ab....and a limit of various cabs and rockfish, so no biggy about the lings.

I must say there are some big abs out there right in front.  You just got to get down deep enough.  At the end of my session, I was limited out (except for Lings) and practiced my deep diving.  On the south edge of that channel running up the Noyo there are scads of big abalone at 45 -50 feet.  Really amazing.  Once again, it's just anecdotal information, but man it seems like there's a lot of those critters.

Anyway, I'm just stoked.....a great dive in awesome viz, and I'm just about to turn 60 and I can still hit 50-60 feet........one foot per year.

The pic is what it looked like out there just before we dove.......it was lake.

Sincerely,

Dave
