Waking up at 6am Joe Magoto and I packed our car and headed to the Sonoma Coast for a quick dip in the chilly water. We decided to dive the well known and quite popular Fisk Mill Cove for a quick limit of Abalone, and maybe a few fish. Joe and myself needed to be in and out of the water with a limit of ab, and ideally some fish within 2 hrs. We both had previous commitments that required us to be back in Sacramento by early afternoon.

The water was a face numbing 50.2 º with hardly any swell, and a hazy 8-10ft visibility. We left the kayaks at home this time, and opted for our tried and true ab boards. Within the first hour we had our limits and Joe nailed a really nice greenling. I saw a baby ling, but other than that there was nothing swimming around that was worth shooting. After the dive we picked some mussels and called it a day. Tired, cold, sleepy and extremely hungry, we booked it back home. A great dive with a friend is always better than a day in class….
