New kid on the block.

  • Hello everyone! I'm new to this forum. (How did you guess?) :confused1:


    I have been surfing other forums for quite some time just reading threads and trying to learn and sort thru to get to the good stuff. I found this forum by following up on the GOPRO camera. go figure


    The reason I joined this place was to gain access to the knowledge and experience that I have found from reading other posting......... ie... Don Paul good stuff and nice guy.


    Now that I'm a member and have broken the ice this will probably be my only post.


    Just kidding.............. I appreciate the open and helpful feeling from reading postings everyone does here.


    I am from Homestead Florida have a 22 Dauntless, Boston Whaler.


    My best friend Marcel got me into spearing a year ago, unfortunately I don’t get to go as much as I would like because I don’t want to go out alone or with just the wife (I love my wife …..) we just don’t have the experience :shark1:.


    I'm very new to spear fishing and I am still learning every time I go out.


    The wife loves to snorkel so after watching me shoot a few (over a year) just shot her first Hog a week ago :thumbsup2:.


    Now she wants my Rhino sooooo…… I had to get a new gun so just picked up a Riffe 3x :yaydance:.


    We go out of Bayrfont Park and hit the waters around Elliot Key, Ocean Reef, Key Largo and Marathon.


    We have built up to 20 / 25 feet. So if anyone is interested in taking a newb with them feel free to let me know. I am looking forward to hearing from everyone and reading your threads.



    Thanks again for having me.



    Tony

  • Welcome, you have some nice reefs right out of elliot. I was out there last sunday and the water was crystal clear with the reef full of life.

  • welcome aboard..glad to have you...starting slow and always diving w a buddy is a great way to start.


    anytime you need one or two on your boat you can usually find some folks around here who would share expenses and pull an anchor for you.

    i like to spear fish

  • Don are you using the Go Pro Hero ? If not what are you using ? If so what is your set up ? Are you mounting to the back and top of the gun ? I'm not sure if that was you or not that mounted it to your mask.
