Monday/Tuesday lings, verms, and big blacks

Went out with DanK, Duane, and Gray Monday. Visibility was great at 30'.

Dropped down to 45' and shot a small ling. On my way up a nice ling came up and took it off my shaft. Had two fish stolen from me in the last week :'(

I did a couple more drops and found it laying on top of a nearby rock. They really blend in with all the small purple urchins now.



Headed back in and jumped in one last spot in 25'. Did a drop and didn't see anything, but on my way up two lines followed me to the surface. I shot the bigger of the two and hopped back on my yak.

Got him off the spear and put him on my stringer and noticed he was the only one on there. Whoops. Spent 30-45 minutes looking for the first guy that fell off and finally found him. Headed back in and waited to the rest.




Went out today with Brandon. The forecast didn't look great but when we got out there we found the ocean as flat as a lake with a solid 20-25'vis. We paddled out to a spot and found a ton of fish out. Nothing huge but lots of smaller lings, blacks and blues.

I did a drop and found a verm staring at me from under a rock. Shot him and came up.


Another ling followed me up so I shot him too. A bit later I saw a giant ling head swim out from one hole and into another. A couple drops later I found him and shot him in the face. After pulling him out I discovered he had a tiny body for such a giant head. Shot a 21" black

Brandon passed on the small lings but shot a couple of really nice blacks, one just short of 22". He popped a few scallops and then the weather started turning so we headed in.

Nice hunting.  Thanks for the report and pictures Gio.
