Right it is a great sport!! And alot of fun!!

I dive that jetty all the time! Great shots! Quick tip, poke the fish thru the eyes with your stringer. Its way faster and you have less issue with your gloves getting into those teeth. The skull is extremely hard too, so it wont pull out or rip out.

The videos are always so murky. Is your vision better underwater than the video? I love lingcod but how can you target them with that reduced visibility? Murky water also makes it tougher to spot trouble.

@ExploreNHook

6 ай бұрын

Ya your vision is a bit better underwater on days like this, but This is considered good visibility for Oregon, A lot of the time we get like 5-6 ft of visibility days, but can still usually find fish, but its a lot tougher, and a bit spookier lol

What if you speargun a ling that is 21 inches not 22 inches do you still keep it? Do the game warden let you go because it's not a reel catch?

@ExploreNHook

3 ай бұрын

It's up to each person, but if you get 21 and a game warden gets you I'd bet you would get a ticket! But I'm not 100% sure, that's why you only take shots if they look much larger than 22 inches!

Curious as to what gloves you use? Brand and thickness. Thanks, I enjoy the videos. Definitely thinking about getting into it!
