<\/p>\nThere were storms in Southern California earlier in the week; I think they at least put all the forest fires out.<\/p>\n
The weather has calmed down a bit, so the Divevets’ Island Diver charter went back out to our “secret lobster farm.”<\/p>\n
The boat left with the Captain, Rolando the beer concierge, and eight divers – Dan, Mean Bob, Richard The Brit, Mike C., Reverend Al, Hollywood, Donna the Hot Biker Chick and Me; two chicks on the boat is a rarity.<\/p>\n

I was the first one over board; the boat anchored in 40 feet of water, so I decided to do my lucrative voyage to 25 feet where I caught six lobster last time.<\/p>\n
I saw a few shorts and grabbed one legal lobster in about 30 feet; the vis was really crappy, maybe 10 feet at best.<\/p>\n
I missed the pin on a big bug, which pissed me off, as I really didn’t see too many lobsters to begin with.<\/p>\n
I navigated back and surfaced with 300 psi; I looked South and then East and then North, but didn’t see the boat.<\/p>\n
Where the hell is the boat?<\/p>\n
I turned West, and the boat was about 20 feet away; I was first back with one bug and a grim report.<\/p>\n
The other divers slowly made their way back – some got skunked, some came back with one or two.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hollywood and Mike C. scored with four bugs; all caught in 50 feet of water.<\/p>\n
We analyzed our dive; I spent too much time shallow, the storm earlier in the week has pushed them deeper.<\/p>\n
We moved the boat to a deeper spot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
