Just when I thought I wouldn't do another vis/hunting report on scubaboard (due to the fact that no one replies, or seems interested), low and behold, two things happen:
1. I learn that King_Neptune likes spearfishing, and
2. A bunch of steel slingers from my stomping grounds register on this board.
So, far be it from me to disappoint:
Quick recap. Went out today on JohnHermes 27" Blackfin with twin outboards, and it's a good thing that Blackfin makes such a quality boat because we needed it for the conditions.
Onboard, apart from John and me, were Financial Advis and Deepfish (from FS). One thing you learn about hunting with these guys is to kick your ass off to get to the bottom first, or they will already be stringing up their second gag, while you're still clearing your ears.
Conditions were rough, with "sloppy 3s" and some 4's for good measure. It was one of those days that you couldn't wait to get in the water, because it was calmer AND warmer down under.
We were kept within about 23 miles from land due to weather, hunting mainly in about 50ft of water. The boat limited on hogs, and had a nice compliment of mangos and gags.
Visability was excellent, at around 40ft.
Had a great time, as always.
