Solo Diving, So Cal Buddy Diving, night Diving, off of John’s Zodiac with John and Jim.<\/p>\n
In With: 3000 psi
\nOut With: 700 psi
\nMax depth: 35 feet
\nWaves: Flat as a lake
\nVisibility: 15-20 feet or more
\nWater Temperature: Cool, getting colder
\nTotal Bottom Time: About 40 minutes<\/p>\n
The entire ocean was as flat as a lake!<\/p>\n
So flat, the zodiac went to the lighthouse off of Point Vicente.<\/p>\n
The entire trip only took 25 minutes, as we were not riding any swells.<\/p>\n
We anchored nearby what has been called the “Palos Verdes Wall” just off the lighthouse.<\/p>\n
John anchored and threw out a float – the zodiac and float were taken by the strong current.<\/p>\n
The current was ripping so hard, we pulled anchor – almost running in to some shallow rocks – and went back to our secret location.<\/p>\n
That excursion for nothing cost us about an hour in time.<\/p>\n
We were all overboard around 10 PM.<\/p>\n
We all went our separate directions.<\/p>\n
I stayed fairly close to the boat, ranging anywhere from 25 to 35 feet.<\/p>\n
It was a full moon and visibility was really good.<\/p>\n
So good in fact, that the big lobsters were still hiding in the rocks, and those that were out took off as soon as my light hit them.<\/p>\n
I came across one and pinned it.<\/p>\n
It was like holding a beer can, so I just put it in my bag.<\/p>\n
I trolled around that same spot and caught two more.<\/p>\n
One was short, so I let it go.<\/p>\n
I kept getting tangled in the kelp, but it was nothing like it was the last time we were out.<\/p>\n
I was the first one back on the boat, John and Jim soon followed.<\/p>\n
Lobster count:<\/p>\n
Me: 2
\nJim: 1
\nJohn: 0 – this was the first time I’ve seen John get skunked.<\/p>\n
We had a smoother ride back; the swells went from miniscule to nothing.<\/p>\n
We talked about “taking a break” from hunting.<\/p>\n
We probably will if our success rate stays at only a few.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
