Welcome Phil, you're a bit of a legend who doesn't really need an intro!  Think you'll find this community smaller, friendlier, and more helpful than SB. Hope to see you out there (I do a lot of shore dives, but also get out in bright green Ocean Kayak). If you see my yak out there anywhere from Carmel to Albion come over and say Hi, it would be an honor to dive with you! Good luck, dive safe - Warren

Phil, how long has it been since you shot a greenling? (PS I know a spot with trophy greenlings and Black and Yellows :smt003 welcome to the distorted world of DOTY)

I don't think I've shot a greenling for at least 10 -15 years  , I do shoot perch in the fall and winter , I have a method making them taste just like crab
