Timber Cove - 4/23

Drove up with Alameda(Geoff). Arrived at 8:00a to find Sledge and the whole Alameda(the place) crew getting ready. Then Dr.Habenaro rolled in. Conditions were just like last week. Vis was at least 15'. Swell was low except for for wind waves. I'm still learning the effects of Scopace. Didn't take enough yesterday, so I didn't try to look for fish. Saw one cabby and a some blacks right under the yak.

The crew getting ready.


Abs.


Abs.


and more Abs.


and then this Aquaman worked the north end of the cove to produce these two 26" lings. I tell you, there were numerous spearos working that same area and came up with very little. But this stud came up with limit on lings. Sorry I cut your dive time short Geoff.


Martianfish and Sledge eager to find out the stomach content of the lings...




Another great day at the cove. I need to up my dosage of Scopace for the next outing.

Sincerely,

LOL! god dam! just had to get a limit of lings huh geoff? i cant take it!!

Right On Ernest for posting pics!

Pretty much everyone scored an Ab - and the conditions really couldnt have been better for the north coast.  BaitnBeer's intel from the day before proved to be on spot for us the next day as well.

It was totally Great meeting you Sledge and Dr. Habenaro for the first time -

Thank you Ernest for bringing along an extra Yak I could use, and definitely for driving! Oh and those sandwiches were awesome too!You Rock bud!

I had a awesome time with you all out there, and can't wait to do it again!


Geoff

Hey guys we cant forget to thank Bigcj85 for the entertaining back flips and front flips/ flops off the kayak!!! Great time on the water. Dont worry cameron you will get a ab soon

Great report and pics and nice ling limit.  I wish our ocean was that nice up farther north!  Looked like the Dr. got some fatty abs.  Nice going.   

Hahahah good times fellas! Good job Geoff with the lings! Thank you Brdopry for telling everyone about my acrobatic skills out there! Hahaha but thanks again to Brdopry and lucky13 for saving me out there. Sledge thank you for letting me use your mask and having the patience with me at your spot. Def had good company on my first ab dive. Kev got me into all the kayaking and diving and I had a blast yesterday. I'll get one soon to make you guys proud.

Good harvest fellas! The conditions have been awesome all week, glad u got some.

Hell Yes...Good times...  Cameron dude the effort u put out was Huge!!! Nxt time for sure bro!!!  Was great meeting new NCKA brothers and old!!!  The Alameda crew got me jonesing for Hali....  Maybe after the Redbarn Rally head south for some Sledging!!!

Alameda thanks for the UNI...just polished it off....

Lucky13 that sami was off the hook... Thanks...  Great hookup....

See all that make it @ GS5!!!!! 

damn yoy geoff.  you guys are all studs way to go

I love the fact, that you can pull up to some dive spot and have a good chance to run into another NCKA member.. Lol, I ran into 4 just over the year.

Sweet report, I wish someone got the flips in video, lol

Sweet day on at the Timber! I made the decision to head up after reading about Andy's nice day and said fu*K those crappies were getting back in the ocean! Conditions were awesome and was able to find a couple of nice abs. pulled 3 +8's with one topping at 9.25.  Great to see a vis of around 25-30 feet. Spent over an hour hunting for a ling and couldn't find a keeper. I never really put in the time spearfishing but have been getting juiced after watching BigJim continue to pull in fish after fish. I decided to get new rubber on the old spear and start shooting a little more. I was able to get a couple of rockfish that weren't too bad in size so it was a productive day. I almost pulled the string on a brunch off perch but didn't not sure how they taste but should have got on e to try out. I do plan on doing a  lot more hunting now since it was a very enjoyable time trying to get my stealth on gliding in on the kill. I brings a sense of excitement that is very addictive and could become a very enjoyable way to spend the day diving. It was great seeing such a NCKA force out there and all having a great time time. Look forward to more get together and next time I will make sure to get my camping groove on since I hate to just drive up and back without enjoying the scenery for a little more time.

WTG Jimbo!!!!!!!

Those are NICE abs bro!! 

You made the right decision on the perch...IMO if you can find rockfish for dinner, don't bother killing the perch!

Lookig forward to diving with you again soon!!

 

Sincerely,

Jim

You guys are all studs!

...  Def had good company on my first ab dive. Kev got me into all the kayaking and diving and I had a blast yesterday. I'll get one soon to make you guys proud.

Dude, with the effort you put into it I know you're gonna get your own abs next time. You gotta sort out your equipment issue first, though.
