  • Dan---It felt GREAT to be back :thumbsup2:
    I even did my own work unloading and dragging my yak. No one offered to load my gun and the others even moved off when it was time for me to get into the water an start spearin :rolleyes1:
    I just wish the viz had stayed good and that all the others had gotten good fish
    I have a ton more to write about the new wetsuit, new bands, new ETPG and more but have to sleep now before work
    Thanks


    PS---pictures coming thanks to sdeisen

  • Nice to have you back Hau sorry I had to leave so soon I had to break the wife and watch the little one since school was out. I didn't see much but coming across the sand I found a RA 110 floating on the bottom must have been there a long time covered in barnacles does anyone have suggestions on how to clean something like that to get everything of the gun any help would be appreciated.


  • happpy guy.. great to have ya back hau, sorry the viz closed out on us
    hau shot his new gun once and that woound up on the other end,, not bad for first day after surgery.


    after splitting up with everyone i drove north of port everglades and put in. viz was about the same as dania had been BEFORE the shit wall moved through. went past the second then swam in to the ledge and patch and north


    got a nice hog.. saw four 24++ inch hogs and one that i think would of been most peoples personal best. also saw 2 25+ inch groupers in pretty shallow (30feet) water. i was diving well and staying down long(for me) but the fish were smarter. one of the groupers slipped into a hole that i would of never guessed hed fit into. all in all a fun day started at 730 and just got out around 330. lookin forward to some days with viz like it had been the last coupple weeks, im sure there comin.
    congrats again hau oon a good healthy day in the water and scott on the RA.

    Longest I have been in the water since surgery = got a little cold
    Only saw 2 shootable fish. An 18in hog and a 28in mac
    Paddled out to the Schoolhouse, then drifted south and then swam in to the first when the viz shut down AGAIN
    Watched a pair of ospreys hunt above me:D
    I love my ETPG. It loads so slick and fast. Thank you Tin Man

    But it was a beautiful day to be in and on the water yak spearin.
    I'm just happy to be out there enjoying the water:thumbsup2:
