Robert and Perry it was great meeting up with you guys last weekend at BPS. I started saving cans so I can make enough to buy that hand made shot gun for $141,500.00 or maybe I can pay off my house instead.
Tarpon guy, Yes you can dive pretty much wherever you fish. Kelp beds are great and with a fish finder on your yak you can find all kinds of bottom structure that no one dives from shore and power boaters usually go out further so you can find some reefs that are mostly untouched. Flat sandy bottom is a good place to hunt for halibut. Let me know when you are ready to start diving.
Sea slug, Yea unless I red the regs wrong there is a bag limit of ten on scallops. That doesn't count the ones that do not make it to the surface. I am not allowed to go if I don't bring some home for the boss. However, she did cut the grass while I was gone.
