I got home from school with my friend and we immediately headed down to Seaside/Cardiff area to go get wet. I've been antsy because I had been out of the water for over 2 weeks and I had just got some new gear. We were in the water by 3:30 and the tide was extremely low and there was NO surf. The water was a bit green and there was some surge making the visibility poor in 10 feet of water but once out in 20 feet of water the vis was perfect.
15-20 ft of vis and life every where. A lot of shorts on the edges of their holes but there were definitely a few legals out. Unfortunately I brought a gun today, (bad idea), so when I had gotten my first bug to the surface and I was about to call to my buddy for the bag, the lobster freaked out and squirmed out of my hand. I was kinda being careless but I only could have one hand on the lobster for I forgot my float line for my gun. that was partially my fault and bad luck because that was a good sized bug, oh well...
Water was awesome and a lot of life but no dinner...
also shot a sheepshead and as i was going to grab it from the spear it squirmed off, just like the bug
overall today was fun and was a really good dive, I'll be out tomorrow hopefully with some more luck
