Diving In A Little Late...

  • Hi everyone, I'm new to the site. Having been reading forum posts for a couple of weeks now I decided to join. I free dive in California for abalone, and friends lent me a speargun this spring and I had a blast:cool2:. So now here I am three spear guns in, and trying to get outfitted with the right stuff for my budget and skill level.


    I have been abalone diving for almost 40 years so I am a late bloomer in spearfishing. It is funny because I am an archery hunter and spearfishing is just so naturally linked I don't know why I didn't give it a shot sooner:rolleyes1:. My biggest challenge is clearing on the way down, so will be workign on that this winter.


    Cheers, and look forward to learning more from everyone.

  • Welcome, You must be close to me, I'm in Santa Rosa.


    My first Dive on this coast was for Abalone in 1987, first paycheck went for wetsuit, next paycheck went for a speargun. Got to have priorities.


    Abalone gathering 2nd, spearing 1st. I probably have some idea that could help you out. Drop me a line and we can chat.
