We had a good size swell with onshore winds and a strong north current hit yesterday... over night the winds shifted offshore and the current died. I already knew this was going to be a good day before I left this morning. The north current from yesterday opened up a few nice troughs all the way down to rock bottom.

High tide was at 6:30, so I had to work the top slope down as the tide slowly dropped. I didn't have access to the deeper troughs til about an hour before I had to leave. In the last hour I pulled the 2 skeleton keys and the 10k gold ring. The ring was covered in green build up, took 6 vinegar/boiling water treatments to finally get the crud off of it.

Its been a really good year for me so far! Looking forward to all the spring breakers showing up now!!!
