Took me a while haha. There is no 100% accurate way to predict vis, but there are multiple factors that contribute to vis (algae levels, swell, tides, weather). I check them all before planning a trip.
Even on a day that looks great from above, can change dramatically once you get a couple of feet under water. Lots of factors including what storms or conditions are happening 100's of miles off the coast.
was waiting for another one of these :D are you able to predict the water visibility before you go?

Nice catch
All bottomfish on the coast closed late October. Reopens mid-March.
Yup I know, this is footage from summer
Ah, your Instagram post with Ryan from a few days ago had me worried. Thanks!
And also congrats on the incredible haul!!
How do you get such a good shot in bad viz?
In bad vis I can't get my arm fully outstretched for a shot so I learned how to shoot from the hip.
