Mendo: An Instagram report (6/24/2012)

Its been a little while since I've posted. I visited the Mendo coast this weekend due to the mild forecast. Saturday was flat with 4 to 5 feet of swell. Sunday, the wind was a mellow 5 knots and the the ocean laid even flatter.


The results of Saturday's dive. Bonus scallop as well.





A pair of lings up to 33 inches





Its stomach held a nice sized greenling




The ling followed me home to dinner




A Smurfling





First time ab shucker




Ab station gettin' messy





Prep cook





Steamed fish with enough scallion and cilantro to look like a salad





The sex sauce was also well received




Good food, good company




Capped off with a well deserved beer. Pacifico have a way of making me nostalgic for Baja. 




I picked up a Hog Trough from Harold at Albion and could finally measure my fish when diving without Harold so I was able to tape out the 33 inch ling. Kind of bummed that I wasn't able to measure the ling from the time before which was much bigger
