Wolf eels

[Julian55]

went out to Ansel Pt tonight and found a nice den with 2 wolf eels in it, I heard they were gone? but I guess not. They are very cool creatures

 

[dwelltimer]

care to provide directions?
that's the next critter on my ticklist.

how is the steep hike down? cleared of ice and snow? and vis

The hike is fine, just take your time. If this is the same den as there has only been one eel the past while, drop and go to the right, maintain 65' 5-10 minute swim, there is a big rock with a few smaller ones around with a few flowers on top. It is on a sandy slope. They are under there. If you hit the small wall just past it you have gone to far. Back track.

The hike is a bitch, clear of snow but god damn, we did 2 dives and coming up the second one was brutal. my legs were even sore today. yeah to the right around 60ish feet. We didn't get them out but I am pretty sure there were 2 in there. Vis was good.

 

[dwelltimer]

Cool. Thanks. The last time I was there, there was a massive GPO at 21m off to the right. Deep in a horizontal crack.

 

[Les]

you can lure them out with food. I have done it

 

[dwelltimer]

We went back on a second dive and tried with some roast beef from my lunch... perhaps it was the horseradish, but he wouldn't go for it. Or, he was a pescatarian.

Don't laugh but I got them out with a banana. Peeled of course.

Did they eat the banana? Or just wanna check it out?
