LA rigs sound like top notch spearin. What kind of fish do you shoot on those rigs?

Reel Crazy14:LA rigs sound like top notch spearin. What kind of fish do you shoot on those rigs?
FredT:That said it's not an ideal place to hunt. Water is "wierd" to say the least with several haloclines and thermoclines common in 100' of depth with each distinct water mass all moving in different directions. Most have no reachable bottom, the water just gets thicker or it's WAY too deep to go there. Navigation is compounded by both the layer cake water and the fact that compass don't work out there, they just pooint to the nearest average metal mass. There are a lot of 6' long fish out there, but there are also a bunch of fish that feed on 6' long fish. Being well down in the middle of the food chain is a new experience for most of those who dive elsewhere.
It's great hunting, but not for the newbie with poor water skills or those with a faint heart.
