@@dcro9903 let me know if you have any thing else you’re curious about!

@@dcro9903 hope it helps you get one!

Look for spearfishing specific regulations. Shore fisherman and spear fisherman are exempt from seasons and depths. If you look at the recreational ground fish regulations pdf you can see that in parentheses near the top before the table. At least for now in 2024.

It’s also in the footnotes in more detail.

@@TheWaterloggedWoodsman thanks I’ll look more! It’s kinda hard to understand sometimes. Cheers

@@eruffdaddy21 removed your reply to not give away spots, but those will be good enough to check out. Just be aware of mpas. Rocky structure and kelp are the best spots to start looking.

@@DepotoftheDeep-Dive thanks! Glad someone appreciates the effort!😂 though the cinematic stuff is just plain fun to make anyway.

At least some fish came back for dinner! I try not to dive the same place twice on any trip I take if I can. The exploration is half the experience for me. Good luck on your next trip! You might even get a lucky yellowtail or sea bass.

Bit of both. Lived in both places so I try stuff from all over for a bunch of different diving conditions.

Yeah they’re sick suits and if you take care they’ll last forever!

I’ve heard some good things but never personally tried them yet. It’s on the expensive side of wetsuits. Especially for the 7.5mm I’d need in central and northern California.

Man I've been trying to get my hands on the 7.5 Goliath grouper but been out of stock 😢

Yeah it’s amazing how warm a good open suit can be. A buddy of mine just got a mako suit and coming from renting scuba suits he was shocked. We were in 51 degree water and he never felt cold.

@@Pandizil it’s amazing the jumps you can make in fins alone. Going from short fins to long freediving fins. Going from plastic to fiberglass or carbon fiber. They can really change your diving!

@@jeremydrake101 yes look at the California arcgis site of mpas. The reef is outside the mpa. If you dive bird rock though out past the reef it is in an MPA.

@@TheWaterloggedWoodsman I know that bird rock is good... where were yall in the cove? (I'm not judging I'm look for places to hunt haha)

@@kevineversole6860 yeah it’s awesome to have clear water here. Wish it was a year round thing!

@@jcmoye1 I catch and release trout almost all the time. I keep them when they’re stocked trout or invasive every once in a while. Otherwise they get a quick release.

@@jcmoye1 I usually do. Just can’t see into water as well where there are deep pockets in a narrow creek with trees on the side. Plus the anticipation makes it fun.

Thanks! Hope it helped

@@samsiryani9023 glad it helped! Let me know if you have any more questions.

@@Hero_Spearo thanks! We all start somewhere. I just try to change a little bit and learn a little bit with each video. I still have a long way to go as well!

@@spawnrcandbikes we were wearing 5mm wetsuits and were comfortable. I’d bet you’d be pretty cold pretty quick in less than a 3mm and even that wouldn’t keep you in the water long.

@@TheWaterloggedWoodsman thanks..guess ill bring my 5mm and 3mm

It was a ton of fun. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching the video. All fish taken were legal sized according to California regulations with room to spare. Plus anything bigger would be more than we could eat anyway. And all places I dove were legal. I know that the reef is close to an mpa, but it isn’t one. Everyone has their own responsibility to make sure they’re not crossing into no take zones.

Those sargos and sheep head were good eating size… really no worries here. If he kept a juvy white or calico sea bass I get it but those fish he kept look legal and good eating size brotha

@@1surfpesca_ yeah I purposely didn’t shoot any calicos that weren’t obviously above limit. It’s too easy to misjudge fish underwater. It’s gotta be tough for new divers to make that 14inch judgement when they’re starting out in socal. I only really know cause I measure a lot of my rockfish up here in central California that don’t have a size limit just to see and have reference.

You’re making yourself look bad being a know it all. 😂 @andybartush185

It’s definitely nice to do trips like these with my family. Don’t get to do these things as often anymore.

You should! It’s super easy. Let me know if you have any planning questions.

Congrats you’ve won $0😂

Honestly, the carbon were quite obviously more efficient kicking, but I doubt it would be worth the extra money for a periodic diver or a beginner diver. I spent a lot of time worrying about if i was banging them up on the reef when diving because they were a bit less resistant to scratches and the price tag made me more worried to replace them. I'd say carbon is good for more advanced divers trying to squeeze out an extra few seconds from a dive, but for most its just not needed. For a spearo that constantly lays on rough rock and reef on the bottom I prefer the generally better durability of fiberglass and the price of fiberglass(though there are definitely different levels of durability with different brands of carbon with some still largely being "bulletproof"). If you have a more specific question let me know!

Thanks for the quick answer

Yeah man I got a sick little skiff. Cheap to run and great for all sorts of fishing. I’ll probably do a video about it at some point to show it off!

Those are also good, but I can also tell you that the quick release also works on that clam style and I’ve tested it with multiple clam shell clamp buckles I’ve owned. The nice thing about the clam shell buckle is that you don’t have to have a specific hole and the belt just fits to your body size nicer. Which is good when you have a variety of amounts of weight and a variety of wetsuit thicknesses. But both are good options and all belts should be quick release.

Glad you liked it!

Thanks brother you too!

I’d never fished anywhere that had them before the Weber and catching a freshwater bonefish was surprising. I’ll grab one to try to eat next time!

Good to know. I wouldn’t personally recommend something I haven’t tried and I’ve heard a lot of horror stories on the cheaper models but I’m sure there are some good ones. Maybe your comment will help someone else. I always recommend just using a 3 prong for small fish rather than a speargun.

I use the 100 cm Comanche and it has worked perfectly so far!

So do I! I don’t think we ever stop. But hopefully I can help you make less mistakes when starting out!

Glad it helped. Hopefully you learned a thing or two!

Glad you liked it! Let me know if you have any questions?

Maybe I just picked the wrong spot. Huge reservoir and I swam a lot of coastline.

That’s awesome. Can’t beat a spot you’ve fished forever and can guess where every fish will be holding.

I have the 7 foot travel one.

Yeah I found that out quickly. Didn’t really know they were a thing til I caught a couple.

Yep it’s one of the really awesome groups that really welcomes new divers! Big fan of it!

I was unaware that this was even a thing. Thanks for the information on something that isn't obvious when signing up. I'll make my changes. I've just recently even tried having usable links.

Thanks for the added information for people looking. I understand that everything is fitted to the person if we are really talking about gear and everyone is going to have a different opinion on what is best. I can tell you ive seen 10 year old kids use the gara 3000 with no problem as well as adults that are 220 lbs. This video is supposed to be generalized to avoid the confusion that comes with online gear research. Thanks for the input though, maybe your comment will help someone find the fin they are looking for or confirm their own opinions.

Thanks for watching! It’s a great place to fish. The creeks are a ton of fun to crawl up when you want to get away from people.

Yeah man those evolve polespears are killers. Glad you enjoyed the video!

I do it all for you

Yeah I’ve continued to get mixed bags. Still hoping for that one big ling to be found though!

@@TheWaterloggedWoodsman monterey has some big ones, we've had this one 36 inch ling hitch hike on our rockfish a couple times. Crazy thing to see from shore

Nice work with the pole spear. It’s fun to simplify sometimes, and bent shafts are a bummer. That would be a nice viz day up north I’m kinda jealous. Post some more

Yeah sometimes I enjoy making things harder again in order to mix it up and keep it interesting. I hope we can get some more clear days before the winters over! You can guarantee I'll be out if the conditions are doable@@coastalyeti3762

Yeah bulletproof gun. Been using it for a while now with no complaints except that mine sinks. I think they fixed that in the new ones.

If you could spear trout in Colorado I would’ve. Unfortunately Colorado only allows trash fish unlike Wyoming.

The flag means diver. And every boater license course teaches people about it.

But obviously people are not understanding if they pull on your line.. difficult to misinterpret the word “Diver” Just trying to help 🤷‍♂️

@@TheWaterloggedWoodsman We don't have that sort of licensure, or much other licensure in WY at all. Be careful out there man, my buddy went snorkeling to find fish for us off my boat there on your path and I watched over him because few would know what a flag means here.
