Like what has already been said. It depends. One thing may work one day and not the next. Bring several set ups with you. Bait, apex, hoochies, or spoons. I usually shorten my set up/leader so if my pole is up the salmon will be next to the boat. Some of the longer set ups you can’t get it close enough to net without grabbing line and pulling it in. I guess if I had bigger eyelets I could reel more line in but my poles are all different so shortening the lure line helps me.

Also using deep 6 check for which one you buy because they sell ones that will go from 70-170 or more feet. Depends on speed and amount of line out. But a faster diver could bottom out quick when the bite is close to shore.

DOTY / DOTY 2018 Mid Year Update

« on: July 16, 2018, 08:40:16 PM »

There is still time to sign up and enter some fish for the DOTY year long competition. Several members have been taking new divers out and there are people south and north doing it so please let me know if you would like to go out with someone who can give you some pointers. Also let me know if you are willing to take out newer divers so we can help make the connection.

Blake from Subsurface Progression (Ft. Bragg) has agreed to donate a PFI Freedive class for one of the DOTY Prizes. He has upcoming classes the next two months and will add more if there is an interest.

That’s a good day on the water.

I lost a huge one today and it was in the net. Can’t stop thinking about it. I have to go back out until I can get a limit of keepers.

are people eating the urchins or are they just being thinned out? I've always passed over them when spear fishing or abalone diving. I know people eat them but I never tired. Are they worth the effort and how do you prepare them?

They need a good thinning. Most people don’t eat the purple urchin as the gonads are smaller and sounds like many of them are also starving so the quality is not good. I use them in the garden after crushing them. The larger red ones are what is typically harvested for the commercial market as food.

« on: July 05, 2018, 04:30:56 AM »

The ocean can get nasty but Tomales is no joke. I went through the mouth once and it was like white water rapids with all the water forcing through the opening.

Yesterday looked decent up in Mendo/Bragg but the wind sure added a good punch.

General Talk / Kayaker Rescued up in Mendocino near Caspar

« on: July 04, 2018, 06:19:37 PM »

Heard a boater intervened and scoop up a kayaker who flipped his kayak and was showing hypothermia signs. Coast guard was called but don’t know any more detail as of yet. Most of the day was pretty rough out there today so sure would like to know the details on why they were not able to right the kayak and apparently not wearing the proper cold water clothes.
