Fish Taken: 1wsb

Well i picked up a new to me wong from bward a little bit ago and have not been able to use it yet due to work and summer school. Before getting in, i was force fed some parmesan and basil triscuits by steve (friendlyfire) as i never stay outmore than 2 hours because i always get hungry. We were doing drops into about 25-35' of water and just not seeing a damn thing, and the whole time i was out there i was farting up a storm(my wetsuit stinks now by the way). After about 1.5 hours of not seeing anything i am starting to believe that white seabass dont live in water deeper than 20ft and dont go below 4ft from the surface(as this is the only place ive seen them and ive seen close to 250 that way this season). Started to make the swim back to shore and stop by a peice of kelp in about 15-20ft of water and just sit on the surface and gues who swims by, yup a nice little white seabass. Got a good shot on him right behind the gills and a few minutes later her was on my stinger. After getting out of the water i told steve that we didnt see hardly anyfish because i was farting so much and they could smell me a mile away, and his responce was "dude i was doing the same thing it must be those triscuits."

I am a firm believer that the sound generated is almost like croaking and will draw them in. Nice fish.

Fish like garlic, it is antiparasitic, you treat sick fish in aquariums with the garlic oil it also increases there apetite, if giving them medicine by consumption...

Nice fish

Where were you in LJ? it was a god awful shitty mess where I was.

we dove just off the point, went about half way to the squid boats and then turned around and came back in. Thanks guys, i dont think the fish is that big but it was nice to get something solid on the gun.

Well done dude. I fart all the time in my suit and that's a big part of the reason I cut holes in my booties. If I didn't, the bubbles get trapped. Whatever you did you got a fish, so good job.
