Dove Lake Sonoma Saturday

Man, you live for days like Saturday on the coast. Epic conditions & was able to to pick up a few crabs & scored my first China Cod on spear. Grabbed a couple of Back & Yellow rock cod too for ceviche tonight. Anyway, only my 2nd Abalone dive this year but found this toad sitting on top of a pinnacle surrounded by sand. First ten for 2012.
Found another toad that was really round & deep but it was a wannabe-about a 32nd shy. Oh well, tasted great all the same. Dive safely. T

Congrats Tommy. Saturday was flat as glass and 15' viz up in Sonoma.
Way to close out the crab & ab season in style!!

Ah yes, the illusive fresh water abalone!
Nice catch.
Peace.
