got up early this morning and seen the perfect conditions so i hooked up my boat, grabbed my speargun and surfboard, and headed down to the harbor. the conditions couldn’t have been any better for diving and surfing today. just so beautiful!
for us surfers, when the water is super calm like this, we call it “glassy.” smooth like a glass, and reflects like a glass. the ultimate dream conditions that happen a lot from october to march.
it’s been so long since i got to go diving and it felt just like home. on my first dive, i dropped down to spear a kole. bang! got it, then a 8′ shark came and tried to take it away from me. gosh, that shark is there every single time i go diving so when people tell me that sharks aren’t territorial, i know for a fact they don’t know what they are talking about. it’s the same shark every dive for the past 10 years. the only different is he’s getting bigger and getting more aggressive. then i went to look for the best tasting fish in the world, called Kumu! 45′ @ 2 minutes and i have one on my spear. can’t wait to steam this delicious expensive fish!
i could have dove all day today and filled up my cooler with fish, but that’s not my passion anymore. i just dive to catch dinner, give a few to friends, and that’s it. i did end up spearing some kole i know some guys down at the beach love to eat. after i came in, i dropped off 10 koles and a nenue and i’m sure they’re having a big friday night bbq party right now.
haven’t taken my boat out in a while so it felt so good living off the ocean. working in it, and eating from it. now all i need is a garden and i could live for free!
