Re: Anti-spearos, why? NHZ please.
I think this is a great discussion, and I would like to chime in on a few points. First, I don't know anything about the life history of GPO, but the 100#+ salmon were killed off by dams, not fishermen (Google "June Hogs Grand Coulee Dam" for history). Second, while rockfish stocks in part...

Re: GoPro Hero2 w/ Eye of Mine Flat Port Housing
Aargh! First off, thanks for raising the bar. I made seven dives last month with my GoPro, but your videos are more impressive than what I got. I guess I need to start thinking about lighting (I blew some cool footage of several sea turtles on a night cave dive due to low light). Second, what's with...

Re: Any Commercial Fishermen here that dive?
Okay, I'll "bite". I am a novice diver that happens to own a small commercial boat with HMS (Albacore) licenses. The boat is being re-powered, so I might not be back in the water this season. What type of fish are we talking? Food, bait, or other? Live transport is tricky and requires spec...

Re: Cheap color filter for green water?
I haven't gotten a chance to try mine yet, but I just got the Pursuit Diving case (glass flat lens) and red filter for my GoPro. If the red filter doesn't blow up my skirt, I think I'll try the Magic green-water filter next. I'll let you know as soon as I get to test my red filter.

Re: newport dive video
Thanks for the tips. I'm afraid the whole point for me is to not touch this camera once I get in the water (I'm usually carrying a still camera, a speargun, or clamming / crabbing gear, so my hands are full when the action is happening), so I'll be starting with one big file. I do like the idea of b...

Re: My new GoPro setup (with pictures)

Re: Anchor Rope
Lots of good info here. Danforth anchors are really only good in sand. I use an 8' coated 5/8" yacht chain and a 20# anchor with my 22' boat. 3/8 or 7/16 rope is the way to go, and make sure that it is solid braided nylon (the cheaper version with a foam / poly core doesn't work well). A good q...

Re: Barview / Garibaldi Report
I had never dove the mid-jetty before, so I can't say if the entry is different than before. I think most of the work was out at the end, but the surge was too big to enter beyond the CG tower.

Barview / Garibaldi Report
Alright, I finally got wet today (first time this year). A buddy and I hit the Barview Jetty this afternoon at high-slack. Vis was horrible (1-2' until below 30', then 3-4' on the bottom; had to turn on my light at 35'). The good news is that there are a ton of big crabs right at the base of the jet...

Re: Spear Gun or Hawiian Sling?
I love polespears for rockfish. I have a pneumatic gun for Lings, but it is a PITA to load underwater. My buddy likes his JBL 38 special band gun (only uses one band; doesn't use safety, but doesn't stretch band into place until ready to hunt). With the polespear, I am ditching the paralyzer tip and...

Re: Club Dive Poll - Please tell us if you were there!
I'm bummed. After missing the one early last spring, I promised myself that I'd make the next one. Unfortunately, I have had other stuff going on the past few months and haven't even been wet since March. This is my first time back on this site in a few months, and I'm sad to see that I missed a cha...

It sounds like we made the wrong decision (we hit the middle of the incoming tide and only had about 1-1.5' of vis on the bottom; we surfaced twice because we got separated, and once because I got dis...
