Hi guys! I'm new here and also relatively new to spearfishing. Just to introduce myself: my name's Nathan, I'm 21 and a San Jose native, home for the summer from college. I got into spearfishing last year around August with a buddy of mine (Daniel, 26) and we've been getting a decent hang for spearfishing/freediving. So far we've stuck mainly to Stillwater and Pacific Grove, and have reached 50 ft depths pretty regularly and without too much difficulty. We each put decent rockfish on the kayak regularly, mainly with polespears up until a month ago. So I figured it might be time to reach out and just see if I could hopefully connect with you spearos. Would love to learn from y'all! I'd like to go out this Sunday and I'm not sure if my buddy can make it. If anyone's up for some spearing let's do it! I was thinking of maybe trying Del Monte for some Halibut, or just returning to Stillwater for some decent rockfish and the ever elusive ling. I can get access to a kayak this weekend if necessary. I'm also totally open to ideas and can drive anywhere, so if y'all have a spot you'd rather go to and wouldn't mind a noob tagging along, that'd be great. Please shoot me a text or email (or pm if that's a function on this forum): nbyatescollege@gmail.com 4*0*8*7*0*5*3*8*2*3 Hopefully my buddy and I will get the chance to spear alongside you guys soon. Thanks for taking the time to read through! Nathan

I'm planning to dive from my kayak. Unless you have room on your boat :) Swell forecast is looking minimal / flat, let's hope the sun comes out and the wind stays down. We'll have a minus tide (-0.4) just before 8am going up to 3.2 at 3:30pm

MEETING DATE CHANGED TO MAY 15TH Due to a massive swell that is going to work its way through the Central Coast over the next 5 to 7 days, we must move the meeting to the 15th. But here are all the details for our 1st official meeting of 2021. Location: Veterans Memorial Park Campgroup Group Site Directions Link The location is centrally located, but you must enter from Jefferson St, from downtown Monterey. It will take a little longer than normal to get there if you haven't been to this location before. Times: The BBQ is going to start getting fired up around 2:30pm Weigh-In for the "King of the Tritons" & "Biggest Fish of the Year" starts at 3:30pm and ends at 4pm Club meeting starts after the weigh in General Plan: Have a great morning of diving and find some amazing fish. The Tritons are going to host a BBQ with hotdogs and is planning on bringing some additional items to help with you making some awesome grilled fish sandwiches. It will be a pot luck style lunch, so if you want to bring a little something for the group, please do. But you should plan on bringing a few items of your own and to toss a couple fillets on the grill for lunch. The grill is a Santa Maria style grill with plenty of room to cook. We will have that grill hot and ready!!! Please remember to bring something to pack your carcass and guts out. We do not want to leave any fish or mess behind. If you are a good planner, you will gut a couple fish at sea so you don't have to deal with that at the meeting site. To see the park, head over to our IG page and you can see a video. Bring your kids to play on the playground and we will have access to bathrooms with plenty of parking. Prizes and Fun: We will be hosting a raffle to win a brand new Speargun, some Triton SWAG and some other cool items. Everyone who shows up will get a couple raffle tickets to through into a special raffle item pot. Raffle tickets will be $5 each or 5 for $20. All proceeds go towards our plans for epic adventures and events this year. See you on the 15th and we look forward to getting together!!!!
