Chet, Southern Boy and I went out on a meat run on Scuba (I lost my freezer in April
)
We took my inflatable out of the breakwater up towards the point. It was flat and we actually had pretty good visibility (maybe 20'+ in spots). The first spot was pretty shallow and surgy, but Southern boy nailed two nice MFE and a cab before the third one spun the point off of his spear. Chet came back with two small Chinas. I got two lings a nice greenlings and various rockfish that decided to follow me home for dinner.
The second dive was beautiful. Lots of nice structure and visibility of 30'+ in areas. Southern boy birddogged for me and spotted some nice cabs. His eyes are better that mine -- I shot where he pointed, but they looked like rocks to me until they came out of the holes (I may have to loosen his spearpoint on purpose next time) I gave him my gun to get a ling so I wouldn't have to hear him whimper on the way back to the dock. I saw my first wolf eel and got a clean shot when he poked his head out of a hole. This time Chet came back with a nice stringer of rock fish and two respectable ling.
Fish BBQ tonight.
Attached is a picture of the sauteed rockfish with my Mom's homegrown 'maters that I made earlier this week.
