What kind of small reef fish are you after?

What's the best way to fill chips on the hull? The ones that go about 1/8" deep and you can see the fiberglass mesh underneath. I'm asking about a partial repair not a complete paint and gel coat or whatever. Just to plug those holes in a durable way that will also get it one step closer to doing a complete job at a later date.

What is this shotgun you speak of?

What's pulque?

Man , sierra is the best fish for Ceviche.

That there I heard before. I think Emil said it and he's a culinary giant compared to someone like me. The mind behind such exotic mind altering preparations such as mole crab poppers

hau, you're the driving force When Pantoja's boat is good I hope see you in action.

There's my broder! Deal with it like a man. :agree1:

This concept would be hard for a boat whore to understand.

Since you guys were talking about publix and stuff.. There's a huge indoor/outdoor in Ft. Lauderdale called the swap shop. There's a fruit and vegetable market there too. The style you'd see in Cuba or PR I imagine. The prices are so cheap I don't even consider I spend money on fruits and vegetables. The quality is better than in publix. Here are a few pics.

Monster, Marco is right, you go with the softest fin that will move you/or that you won't overpower.

That's Pantoja's (Sergio) boat.

Needed bottom paint and something's wrong with the hydraulics that raise and lower the motor.

That's a whole different ball game. In this case you made the right decision IMO. The world is full of people trying to take advantage of each other. I have long accepted this as part of life and don't stress about it. But I have a keen eye for when it happens and don't allow it to happen to me. That is the reason for my attitude. I adjust my attitude with my friends who know I'm generous with my time and work.

Communists! <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x"> We gift fish but only when we want to. Like to encourage a beginner or as a gesture to the boat owner or a diver that couldn't continue for some reason.

Quote from Core

but like i say he is a good friend and neighborg. so i back off because of the old friendship plus been neighbors. He is really a cool guy and good friend.

Explain to me why if he's such a good guy that he's causing you bad feelings and doesn't care about it? Did he come back later and express some regret for what happened? If he didn't what goes through the mind of a person like this.. Is he thinking "I went on a boat trip with these guys and I paid my share of the expenses so I must have something to show for it. Even if it's at the expense of a friend." or is he thinking "I told all my buddies at home that I'm a hot shot spearfishing guy and I must come back with a fish or I'll lose face. Again even if it's at the expense of a friend". I just don't understand guys like that, but I refuse to let them walk all over me.

Good thread. This is the kind of stuff beginners need to have access to. When I started reading your post I thought it was going to be about something a little different; diving partners who shoot fish from under you. But that would be another good topic.

To answer the question right off the bat everything depends on your relationship with the other diver. Check out this thread, it's somewhat relevant Who gets the fish? A spearfishing ethics question.

I'm not a very patient guy sometimes. If someone ends up doing what your friend did I assume that they're well aware of everything and still choose to do it, so the need for explaining after is for appearances only. If it went exactly as you described with no other variables, without a doubt the fish belongs to you. For the sake of courtesy I would still attempt to explain. If the guy does not relent then that will probably be the end of the friendship right there. And I'd be pissed off and keep the fish whether he likes it or not. PR possibly being a rougher neighborhood than here, where I really don't have to see someone again if I don't like them, I would also consider how far the other guy is willing to take this. Not fun when everyone has spearguns and knives.

Come'on core, share the pics.

Whatcha' waiting for?

Mycteroperca jordani is Gulf grouper.

Monster, I need a species for that grouper.

Pucho, those PR muttons are pigs. You're in the lead. I believe your 2nd nephew is a member although I haven't seen him post in a while so the Jack Cravalle is on the board too

I think the article said they're small.
