    Solo today with great weather and sea conditions.
    Went to an area that is hunted by lots of spearos, so the grouper and big mutton I saw were VERY educated an I couldn't get within spear range of them.
    I did find a Drum and 15in hog that missed prior spearo education, so they went into the cooler :)
    LOTS and LOTS of beach buns hangin out today :naughty:

    I had to quit early to go to work, so I'm not sure how the other spearos did, but I got 2 hogs in aprox 2 hours in the water
    Today was a very nice day to be spearin with good friends :toast:

    Solo today, yak freedive spearfishing.
    Water is warm, viz was good, no rain and not many boaters today.
    I only saw 2 shootable macks and 2 shootable hogs all day, that i put in the cooler.
    Also saw several eels and turtles today. I saw 2 lion fish in 40fsw but my ET gun is NOT the gun for lionfish, so I'll have to figure out an easy way to spear them

  • kabob skewer or garden spike with a couple rubber bands attached to the end. use 2 fingers on one hand to wrap the bands around and draw it back like a slingshot. saw some guys in mexico do this and they filled a 5 gallon bucket in 2-3 hours. cheap simple and works well.

    Solo today, yak freedive spearfishing after doing a triathlon this morning. :S
    Water is warm, viz was good, no rain and not many boaters and not many shallow fish.
    I got in the water late, but conditions were still good for me in my zone.
    I lucked out an got 2 hogs before the viz shut down and forced me into shallower water.

  • mrmike---thanks for the tip bro :toast:
    I just saw video of a scuba spearo using almost the same set-up. I think it was something like "Richards Lion Fish Tamer", not sure.
    I hardly ever see Lion Fish, thats why I wasn't ready to spear one

  • Got out today from 10 to 2 in laudy
    my buddy came down from vero and its been so stormy we were stoked to see the flat ocean this morning , and it stayed that way till noonish
    viz was prob 30 feet, saw a lot of smaller hogs and porgs, I think the fish are out deeper.

    Solo freediving spearfishing from the yak again today
    Saw 2 nice big eels and a couple nurse sharks and had a great day with near perfect Miami spearin conditions.
    Still not many spearable fish and lots of garbage in the water.
    Hope this helps

  • Sounds good. Get give me a call/text and we can set it up. I've been out of the water a while too so I need to get back into diving shape as well. :thumbup:
