Take me with you!!!!!!!!!! I'll pitch in. Whatever!

Whats up guys!!!!!


I am wanting to join someone on a hunt out here. I am new to the sport but Ive got all the gear and a bad ass gun. I just need someone to help me out and teach me a few things.

I am defintitely willing to pitch in for gas or whatever. I dont care. I just want to get in the water.

Is there someone I can tag along with? I live in New London. I dont mind traveling alittle.

Jp

Re: Take me with you!!!!!!!!!! I'll pitch in. Whatever!

From one boat-less guy to another, you are lucky to live in New London; very close to some awesome shore dives. I have only ever dived one place that could not be reached by shore. Plan on some shore dives, but check spear board for open spaces on boats.
I bought the book Rhode Island Adventure Diving (I&II). It will reveal a lot of the secret spots.
Oh, and if it ain't real big, don't shoot it, the stress and guilt of shooting something you're not sure is a keeper is not worth it. DEP can fine you or confiscate all of your fishing equipment. Those guys literally hide on shore waiting for you, they're like ninjas sometimes.
I dove New England for three full years before ever shooting a bass, just to be safe.
Speaking of rules, go online and get a federal fishing license and pick up a state fishing license at a local spot. A state license will cover you for all of the states around here.
And keep this document (courtesy of the Crusty Diver) with your stuff.
