100th dive, Casino Point, 8/28/10...GSB?

Congrats, Charlie!!!

I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed that one or more GSBs join you to celebrate your 100th. Wish I could join in.

Have a great and memorable dive. (Then dive some more!)

Congrats in advance on #100.

Whatever you do, don't dive anywhere near me... I've been skunked this season on GSB sightings. Very unusual. I have seen three of them topside, but none underwater. Of course a month or so ago two swam right past me while I had my back turned to film an ocean whitefish.

Same goes for me - except my "skunkage" goes for my entire diving history. Never seen one at all. I won't even be diving this weekend at all...which probably increases your likelihood that you'll see one by at least 1000%.

Congrats on your 100th. Be sure to get a photo. Here's my 100th:

If you get shut out, maybe the GSBs will be back in large numbers again on the Star of Scotland in November. Perhaps it will be a great dive for Frank's Big 100.

That would be an awesome dive for Franks 100! The history of that wreck has always intrigued me and it has been on my most wanted list in terms of local wreck dives! Frank...hurry up and get to 100!!!

Hey, Phil... I ain't sharing my "stuff" with anyone unless they buy my latest DVD: "Gentle Giants: The Giant Sea Bass"

 

[fisheater]

So. How'd it go? Any GSBs?

Charlie sent me this;
Hey Phil! I was the first in the water just as I had planned and I headed to the east towards the suejac where I have always seen big sheephead, but I couldn't find any GSB. When I got out, I heard a bunch of newbie divers talking about how they saw one in 20 feet of water right over the Cousteau monument! Later I talked with Dr. Bill and he shared my sympathies. He has been skunked everytime too this season. One highlight of my 100th dive is I went 70 feet solo, my deepest solo yet. And i saw big old Oscar the sheephead, always impressive. No worries, I will see plenty of gsb on Frank's 100th on the Star of Scottland!

My sympathies to the Catalina vets who have been stood up by GSBs this year. I was there last weekend with a group of newbies making our first dives in California. Needless to say we ran into a very large GSB as we were preparing to wrap up dive #2.

Sadly, it was only in passing, but I managed to get proof before he swam away.
