Don't get those short pneumatics, they have no range. You'd have to practically touch the fish before you pull the trigger.

i can attest to this I shot a pneumatic the other day. A regular cressi and i pretty much saw the shaft in slow motion comeout of the gun and shoot the fish. What a pos..

Now a mamba kitted gun or maybe the new omer is another story

a 30 inch pneumatic would have plenty of punch and would be easy to dive with a tickle stick

30" is 76cm which is slightly longer than the mares cyrano 700. As you may know I had one and finally got rid of it a few months back. Even at that length which is considerably longer than those pistols hau brought up, I could see the shaft fly. A 70cm pneumatic is a hole gun at best, that would make the pistols a touch the fish first gun I guess I could've modded the mares further by removing the high/low power separation chamber thus making it capable of holding more air. and maybe put a kit on it. But I figured if the gun shoots so poorly stock then it's not worth going any further, and after removing the chamber it loses it's value. The only band gun I've had a problem like this with was a JBL. Any wood gun rigged right, including a warped Riffe that I cut down to about 70cm, shoots great right off the bat. Just my :twocents: guys so you can save your money and not buy something you're not going to use.

Yeah this is some of what I heard before, which is why I've yet to buy one in the first place. Thanks. I'll accept that losing fish is part of the lobster game

hau and i 830-1230 meade
very nice day but very cold,, i got so cold in the water i stopped shivering which at first i thought was nice but then realized something was wrong as i could not hold my breath for even a mintue at that point. we went oout to second reef and didnt see too much some dogs and lots of the usual and small hogs, spent most of time oon second then i started towing back towards first and got one decent hog on way back in,, on the second i was swimming midwater just about 20 feet down and a remora came up onto my fin then followed me for a few minutes, i was wondering where its biig freind was,, but noone showed. viz was about 25 and current was light north to south,, ill let hau post more accuratly hes better with all that.

so jsut the one fish we didnt really see anything all day but was very nice to be in the water as always and glad hau didnt puss out due to cold,, he never really pusses out though,, we were only people on the water today no boats or other yaks

i need to just put a ruler on that cutting board,, haha sorry to keep you waiting, but im sure the seaguls with their full bellies will thank me.. P.S that hog was a very very pregnant and my fishes got caviar today :D, wish i had a picture of them going to town on it

wow steve that is really cool..I wish that we could have gottem more eggs into our reefs for more edibles, but that is a really really cool way to use the row(roe)

way to keep it real out there guys

Dan, i felt like we all had this convo before...i wasn't really advocating the 30" air gun as much as suggesting that if Jamie wanted a little air gun, he shouldn't go smaller than that. should have been clearer...I still recommend just diving with the gun and using it as a marker for the holes...that's what I do...I suck at catching lobsters though so I never am far from my gun

today went with some freinds by boat to a place off fort lauderdale called "the caves". they were scuba diving collecting tropicals so i tagged along to get some fishing in. to make a long story short a very beautiful place but nothing in the way of hogs or snapper or macks. Saw several very nice gags and blacks that made me really test my self control with this friggen closure and all.(but im glad i held off cause some gov. dudes gave me and my truck the full aenema when the boat dropped me off at my truck). the viz out there was crazy good (relatively speaking) at least 50++ feet.
also today reminded me why i love kayak spearfishing so much,, i was up before five this morning trailored a boat around for an hour launched it waited for everyone to get there shit together all jsut to be back in in time for school. although given more time it would of been nice to hit some deep spots. anyway oceann was rough, viz was goood, water and air was chilly, hope some others made it out today cause the viz was worth goin out.

Nice report Steven.

I should be back in the water this weekend. Its been five weeks of waiting.

Nice report hau. jbrewer, how did you lose the spear?
