Here are some semi-close-up, rockfish-sized photos from Nov. 28, 2008. Visibility was around 20 feet. I went out past the second corner and there seemed to be even more rockfish than usual. I had to force my way through clouds of yellow tail rockfish at the base of the slope. Of course there were also the usual schools of Puget Sound and black rockfish. The vermilions are still there and the juvenile yelloweyes seem to be getting bigger. As far as wolfeels go, this was a bit of a strange dive for Ogden Point. I only saw the tip of a tail deep in one den. Usually, They find me and won't leave me alone. One of my "guaranteed" dens was covered with several layers of kelp, so I didn't get to see if they were home. Fishing line was every where of course. It seemed like half the lingcod I saw had line trailing out of their mouths. I finished off the dive with two large Puget Sound king crabs in the shallows.
