11.14.09 Abalone and more, North Coast....just past Stillwater cove

Man... it looked like a great day out there. I got an invite to dive with a buddy and turned him down to spend the day doing absolutely nothing. DAMN!!! Oh well... next time or next year... it's all good.

Those perch are small Mooch!!

...yup, ANYONE can shoot a big fish   And those little guys were eyeballing me as well....do you realize how difficult it is to hit a perch that's facing you while you are getting pushed around by the surge?    Just call me the Perch Sniper  

Craig, can't thank you enough for gifting me one of your abalone = that was really cool of you   Let's definitely hook up for a spearfishing trip some where in Monterey sometime soon!!! I'll put on a clinic on how to spear the "elusive eyeballing perch"  

I spent the weekend at Salt Pt with the GF, she's really good about "waiting on the beach", but this weekend was a full GAF builder, no gear allowed (my stupid idea), saw you guys roadside at the gate but we were on a mission, sorry I missed it, today was worse, the ocean and wind just continued to lay down.  Earned lots of points but it cost me,,,,,,

Glad you guys had such a great time in a special spot.

BTW checked out SR Shell Beach launch per Saltydog's (Redyak) post a couple months ago, it's an absolute go for next season.

Oh yea Dale. We are gonna do some damage at SR next year. It was a great day for hiking with the GF or whatever. Hats off to you for takin' care of business. Ya' gotta do it sometimes for the relationship. Its all good.

WTG on your personal best Brian. Congrats on the limit of abs Craig. And Mooch,
it takes a special skill to spear little fish. LOL

Jedmo

Congrats, guys!

I agree w/ Jedmo.   I don't think I can even see them in the water.

Thanks for the report guys. Water looked nice in your dive spot. Craig, you are a fashion trend setter with you Wetsuit thong shot. That shot needs to go on the cover of some dive magazine. Man, you do use your equipment to it's fullest potential, and beyond. Bought my Yazbek wetsuit last spring and you will not regret doing so. You'll love it and you will find giant abs for the rest of your dive life becaue of it. Just kidding, but it is an awesome wetsuit. Thanks for sharing

Shannon

Oh Yea. It just arrived today. More than I have ever spent on a wetsuit. I deserve It. ( at least thats what I told mama)

I love those combo days when the weather cooperates! Good job out there guys! Will be out there for a couple days end of the month.

Looks like you were picking more than a couple abs!!!!
 Try walking on your feet next time!

Nice report and pictures , makes me want to start diving again . Got some wear on a knee of my wetsuit from earlier rockpicking career , never saw rear end wear like that ! Must have slid down too many slopes getting to the water !
