We pulled up on LJ Sat afternoon and right on the NW kelp corner, exactly where we would have liked to anchor and fish, was a 14' tinboat with a dive flag and 2 free divers working the outside edge of the kelp.
What is the required distance to stay away from them? Also, I thought their choice of location left something to be desired. A little inconsiderate.

Oh, And I'll tell you the same in person next time I see you, If that's in anyway what you were incinuating by "cheap shots"  | |

John, was it the same guy who let his boat drift away during the butt tourney?
He owes you, you get the spot!

I wouldn't call divers inconsiderate. We both need to share the spots. I have seen way too many inconsiderate boaters out at LJ. People being buzzed by boats, boats running over floatlines and ripping guns out of divers hands. If anything the fishing guys need to give spearfishers more room. If someone buzzes me they usually end up looking down the barrel of my speargun.
Too many idiots think a dive flag or spearfishing float means they should fly by as close as possible to it.
