Greetings From The New Guy

[bump]

Hi,
Glad to have finally signed up here.  Hope I find something useful to contribute.  Living up here in the PNW.  Setting up for some crab fishing in Oregon from the beach and so forth (not boats).
Done a bit of fishing in my life.  First fish?  Oak Creek Canyon 1965.  Was swimming, came back to my pole and it was fish on.  Lost that pole into Salton Sea a few years later.
Fished in Alaska for three years '79-'81.
Done a bit of spear fishing like a lot of people who read The Last of The Blue Water Hunters when it came out.
Lookin forward to some good stories on here.

Welcome! We have something in common. I started fishing in 1965 also. Caught my first fish, a 12" common carp on a cane pole.

Greetings Bump!
Alaska is something else, huh?
Lots of local guys spearfish here. I've done it a number of times on the California coast, but that was using SCUBA gear. Nowadays I can't tolerate snorkeling for too long around the reefs. I think it's the pressure(even on the surface) affecting my heart.
