PG Friday PM 1/21/11

Had a few hours between work and sunset and snuck down to PG with my good buddy Andy FishMaster1!!

The spots we wanted to hit up were too sketch with BIG waves so went to to the most sheltered spot we knew, and still had to duck dive through large breakers to get out to the kelp forest.

Vis was ass and surge was brutal. 

I managed one RockFish and Andy cleaned the beach and got a nice stringer of trash!! WTG buddy!!!   

I did see a BEAUTIFUL fat olive rockfish but it scooted away before I could swing my gun around...still awesome to see!!

Even though it was not the best day of diving I've had, I had a blast getting in the water with my good buddy and getting one yummy meal for the family!!!

AND Andy treated me to beers and wings at the BrewPub afterwards...THANK YOU bro!!!!

 

Sincerely,

Jim

Thanks for the report and pictures Jim.  Is that how you string your fish?

Way to get out there guys!  Andy, thanks for cleaning the beach, thats cool of you.  BTW, that is one sweet ass Rescue Hook you found!  Its a Benchmade, http://www.benchmade.com/products/5  Looks like you got some good Karma, thats good stuff right there!  I'm just going to tell myself that this was a total last minute thing and thats why there was no hookup posted.  Way to go fellas, look forward to meeting you FM1.

Great trip, Guys!  WTG, Andy on the trash haul!  And WTG, Jim on the well earned fish.

Totally last minute Jeff!!

Andy has hella good karma...that is a sweet looking tool!!

Days like today average out the days when I shoot a lot of fish....gotta enjoy the plentiful days and the lean ones as well!!

Also figure the dives in less than ideal conditions are good learning experiences and will make me a better hunter in different areas and different conditions.

I met Andy and Jim at Aquarius II before they went out.  I think Andy's alibi was 'meeting the plumber' and BigJim's was a 'Dr's appointment'. 

Sorry to drop the dime on you guys but maybe a member can add them to their playing hooky excuse file.  Good to see you guys.

Through the eyes?? Yep!! They take up less space on the stringer that way!!

Would have done nothing different! Any time I can hang with Jim is a cool time to me. I broke into his truck and drank some beer... That was the best part...swell was   Way bigger than I like playing in. Took me about twenty to thirty minutues just to get out. After that I aS wore out.. Dove down around three times and said fuck this!!!! Swam back to the beach and decided to clean up tha ks for the recent post TRASHTALK!!!

Nice work on the trash! Sounds like a good day over all, beats work.

sounds like you guys earned some stripes for going out in that weather.  i have to say im a bit jealous but im.... ok im over it now.   cant wait to go out with you again big jim.  and looking forward to meeting you FM1.
Shellback... April 4th and this tuesday and anyother day.  LOCO PLEEEASSSEEEEEEE!

Nice report WTG!

Wtg on braving the conditions to do some diving, thas what ya call hardcore Glad to see that you got one Jim, and cool of ya to Andy to ditch work to join him lol. Thas what ya call good friends!!

Bad Vis makes you really appreciate it when it finally does clear up. Good job on cleaning up the trash. Even if we all just pick up a piece or two when we are out it really helps. Good habit to practice.

good one fellas...WTMake the best of it, when in dangerous conditions = send out Jim to get fish  & stay safe on beach  , picking up others trash

Stay Safe!!
