Stories from the Sea & Sights from the Depths
1st Annul Lobster Season Opener Tournament
Redondo Dive & Tackle in Hermosa Beach, CA started Lobster Season opening day with the 1st Annual Lobster Season Opener Tournament. We had categories for shore diving, boat diving, shore hoop netting, and hoop netting from a boat as well as biggest overall.
Northeast Wind Farm: Deepwater Spearfishing
Come check out what it’s like to dive and hunt on the wind farms off Block Island. These structures aren't more than 13 years old and already they are covered in growth, attracting sea stars and mollusk eating fish like cunner and tautog, the plankton, krill and small shrimps congregate, bringing in the small baitfish which then attracts the bigger predatory and pelagic fish that pass by seasonally. Big fish, deep, cold water and murky green visibility reminds you that you sometimes have to push the limits, and sometimes you just want to.
Marbled Mola
Coming back from our morning dives on Sunday with lobsters in the live well and a newly certified diver, I spotted the tell tail sign of a Mola Mola, the lazy tail flap mimicking what’s often confused to be a shark fin breaking the surface.
Salty Summer
The goal this summer season is the same as always, dive more, explore more. Jumping in this past weekend it really felt like the start of summer. The conditions were beautiful, with some excessive breeze here and there and some sea chop at times but all in all it was an epic weekend.
