Nice stringers!  Thanks for the report and pictures Andy.

Got OTW @ 9:30 and paddled out to find the guys fishing outside the cove. Dragged the bottom then moved around the corner to look for Mr Ling. He chased my lure+fish to the surface and hovered beneath my kayak for a second. It was pretty cool in 30ft vis. Then I finally hooked into a nice one and brought it boatside. Caught with one of Andy1976's custom jigheads--green 3oz w/7" blue/white swimbait. It was a nice little 27 incher. But I decided to let her go make more babies. Finished w/about 10 rockies, mostly small blues, kelpies, b+y's, and gophers. All released. Missed a big fish when it took me into the kelp--that sucked.

After I got my fill of hook+line fishing, I paddled back in and grabbed my dive gear. It felt really good to get in the water and mess around. But my mask doesn't fit and I broke the buckle on my fins already lol. I haven't been in the water for a long time and using new gear felt awkward at first. Definitely harder than I remembered. But crazy-fun and I'm stoked to do it again.
Andy's definitely got a new madness! He shot some really nice fish today. And in quick order too. I don't think he'll ever go kayak fishing ever again lol!

It was great to see everybody again!

  

That's awesome Andy. Looks like you are really loving the spearfishing.  BTW, what is
the water temp. down there normally?

That place looks like a lot of fun, and I am really looking forward to getting down there with you guys next year!!

Thank you for sharing the great report and pics!!

Sincerely,

Jim
