Re: Bonaire group trip.

The dates are set. We are renting the villa which sleeps 10 people total. The dates are Jan 10th-18th. Some of us are staying a few extra days but will be renting a smaller place as the villa is no longer available after the 18th. Some are island hoping for the last few days so the group trip with t...

Thanks again.

28' Blackfin for sale... Cheap!

Helping a friend sell a 1987 28' Blackfin fiberglass boat. No power, no trailer. It is a pretty darn good boat, very stable, tons of deck room. Dive ladder. New redone interior.

The owner is looking to get around 5-6K for it.

If anyone is interested email me at divelist@hotmail.com

Re: WDFW GPO Harvesting Update - 5/15

I think the lack of responses is due to the poorly drafted choices. IMO, there is no "right choice". The options have FAR outreached the original intent of protecting Cove 2 from Oct harvesting. However, now that it includes so many other things, species, and places, the only choice that m...

Re: Ships aground

But the question is why did she end up on the beach with no one on board? Looks to be a very well kept boat but looks like that 10 horse kicker is her only power so maybe the wind just got to her? Hope there was no foul play involved. If her anchor was out, she most likely just drug her anchor from...

This is about protecting a certain species, in a certain small place for the recreational viewing of the general public.

Re: WDFW GPO update: Seacrest Cove 1,2,3 now included in opt

Due to the recent developments mentioned above, the now seriously upset sport fishing community got actively involved in this issue last night and have uncovered and exposed a "loophole" in this process that will most likely kill or postpone any sort of action or rule change until 2015-2016.

Sad that B was even placed there but it's typical bureaucratic thinking. If we have a do nothing option then we have to have a radical option to offset it. C is ok but a bit overreaching. The option to just forget it and do nothing was bolstered by the inclusion of B. I would say this is the more l...

That's a bit of an overreaction Corey, but a good demonstration of why we need to stay focused on octopus protection and not expand this into some kind of conservation movement ... because doing so will cause a lot more people to react like that.

Your comments and input needed! Let WDFW know which option you like (or maybe you don't like any of them, or maybe you like a combination of some of them). No matter what, WRITE them, or attend a public meeting. Here's where you can give your comments: http://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/regulations/octopus...
