Where on the coast are you steep? I'm always looking for people to go with... And I have a boat!
Right on Ryan! Yeah, it's so cool to actually see what's under there. Makes fishing so much easier once you see & understand the structure, fish behaviour, etc.
I'm in the lower mainland, but make trips to the island most years. Where are you?

Seems we have a lot of species closures here compared to Washington State. Suss out Neah Bay area every time I'm down for a surf trip...think there are some good shore based spots around there in the early summer.
Yeah, the whole US coast is amazing diving & spearing - Washington, Oregon & Cali'. They also have much more liberal reg's that we do. Definitely bring your gear next trip!
New Zealand is one of my favourite spots in the world to dive & spear! Spent a couple of months touring around spearing there. Awesome people!! Where abouts were you? Any pics???
The mountains are calling & I must go. ~Muir
