Here's another from the archives. Got this little fellah on a quick trip when my Dad came down under for a visit. Terrible conditions, but still managed a decent fish.
Kolt are you ever gonna try and Pole a BFT ?? if anybody could do it ,, it would be you
Nice fish mate, :thumbsup2:
Cheers, Don
How about a seperate "show us your polespear thread"? Different types of rigging and design improvements from the basic polespear. I would like to know more about rigging one with a float. Band configurations, slip tips, different legnths, fiberglass, aluminum, carbon, ect.
x2 ,,, also whats your favorite color speedo :confused1::):D

Nice thread, keep it going, this will be a good one.
[quote='Dan','http://spearfishing.world/forums/index.php?thread/&postID=36555#post36555']Is this fish the same as the California yellowtail, and is called a kingfish in NZ?
3 sub species of seriola:
The California yellowtail, Seriola lalandi dorsalis,
the southern yellowtail, or in New Zealand
and Australia the yellowtail kingfish, Seriola lalandi lalandi,
and the Asian yellowtail, Seriola lalandi aureovitta.
Depending on habitat, some grow bigger than others, NZ fish are monsters.
Did not know the rob. Thanks. Are they related to amberjacks?
Yes, they are.

I beg to differ...I have been " molested" by quite a few yellowtail in my time:D
Ask Acevedo about the trip with me, him and Bill Kitto. The yellows wouldn't leave me alone!
that's cos you are so sexified John
It's not polespearing, but it's the best I could do considering it's freezing cold and the vis near my house is currently about 2 feet. Not bad for a shore dive, really. Ended up with three crays and a load of mussels.
Kolt, you are to the pole spear what Howard Hill was to the longbow. Great stuff....
Nice crays Kolt. Is it just me, or are those built much more robust than their Florida cousins?
Dive safe,
G
That last one is a big buck (male) cray. They have much larger legs and are a lot stouter than the females (first UW pic), but in general, yes they are quite robust bugs. Awesome fun to chase too, even with all the cuts and punctures!
Kolt , do you ever get up out to the Poor Knights to spear ?
Cheers, Don
The Poor Knights are a marine reserve! The scuba boys feed the snapper (even though they aren't supposed to) and now there are tons of huge snapper that are crazy dumb. You'll have to forgive the image quality - this was taken with a disposable camera during the photo comp at Nationals last year.
I wonder when that happened ? that used to be the home of giant kingies and marlin.
I haven't been there in a while.
