I'm exhausted!
Ritchie, Austin and I had a great time on Friday with clear visibility(40-60 Feet vertically and 50-70 laterally). We dove all day from 7am to 6pm. not including boat ride & cleanup. The seas were flat, calm, clear, except for lots of algae in the water...

I got to take some pictures and video right in the action on numerous occasions. After coming up from my first dive, 2 yellowtail (one 15# and one 30#) cruised behind to check me out. Austin, following me upcurrent made a quick dive and shot the larger of the two fish. Then a sealion came to check him out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8i8j60rCIQ

We dove on the spot and my last 4 dives I saw yellowtail everydive diving the outer edge of the bait and facing the bait.

Then, turning around and yellowtail(s) (1-2) would come by to check out what was going on.

Tried taking a little footage and should be posting a few better videos hopefully soon (less shaky) Here is a little Calico Bass Spearfishing video. I'm searching for a better technique than left hand holding camera, right hand holding gun, so I dropped the gun, swam after it and picked it up relatively close to the bottom. Seemed to work =)
