Beauty and the Beast

OK I know what youz all are asking, Why am I here blogging with this pristine of a spearfishing day? Right? Well it has to do with the factors that have come together all at once. I will explain and at the same time perhaps enlighten you on a few things to register in the tip tank.

Sun, Rain and Moon- and how it will affect a spearfishing day.

SUN: aka Beauty....ahhh nothing like a sunny day to create that transperancy at depth, as well as warm up the water.

RAIN: aka Beast...Lately its been raining pretty much daily- rain will do a few things for one it'll change the salinity of the water, and second alot of it will got washed off the streets and dumped in the sea.


MOON: although presently a waning gibbous (about 72% full) it was pretty much full on, in all its glowing glory, not to bad if your romancing, but the current gets ripping when the moon be full.

Alright so what does all this info regarding the sun, rain, and the moon have to do with spearfishing? When its been raining alot the waters salinity changes when combined with lots of sun you get an algea bloom so the water gets particulated & greenish and the viz diminishes substantially, on a good note more baitfish will be abounding. The moon will cause the tide to swing stronger on both ends so alot of rain wash off will be coming in and out of the bay, also influencing the viz, plus not to mention make a spearfishing dive quite intense. So now you got bad viz and strong current and warm water....this means looking for fish in 50+feet (warm water=more depth), but since viz is shabby you'll have to hunt at mid depth or the bottom, add the ripping current to the mix and you got the "work for each fish" factor into play.

Ok, Ok, I know better to be in the water shootin fish than blogging....I'm outa here ;)
