How do those compare to sand fleas?

Thanks for showing me how it's done hau, I'll be sure to prompt our friend for a story the next time.

Marco, your English is good so here's a quote suitable for this moment from Golda Meir (the original iron lady) "Don't be humble, you're not that great" <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x"> I may adopt that abbreviation VIP LOL, good story.

BTW it is my understanding that dogtooth usually refers to dogtooth tuna whereas the snapper is simply dog snapper.

Very nice clean work Jeff.

That and you'd have to swim like 20 miles to see any bottom from what I understand.

:laughing4:

It's so simple..

A hole saw. You could probably do it with a file if you have the patience.

An aluminum tube. You can paint it the color you want.

And you already have the butt. Best butt on the market.

It will be an original gun, will look like a reverse hybrid, and function perfectly as a hip loader. If you ever need to sell it you can easily convert it back to a chest loader so it doesn't lose value.

Sorry for the derail Marco.

Estan lindos Marco acabaste! Thanks for the great pics. In Cuba pargo generally means mutton snapper. Those don't look like mutton, are they dog snapper? So in PR when you say pargo do you refer to snappers in general or just the dog snapper?

This is the interesting thing about spearfishing, it's practiced by the lower class as a means of subsistence and by the upper class as a means of diversion. Men of both strata of society can find a common ground in spearfishing.

Sorry to derail Stevo.

Do they not go online because spearfishers in Mexico generally like to keep a low profile? I mean is spearfishing there something that not too many people do and the idea is to keep it that way?

Once Marco was stranded on a small island with no food for 11 days. The plastic trigger mech on his rob allen broke and he couldn't use his speargun. The only way he could get nourishment was to chew on his omer wetsuit to extract tiny fungi which kept him alive. It saved his life but he ended up hating the taste of that wetsuit so much that he now hates everything omer. Because of his ordeal he lost a lot of weight and now he's going around saying that he found the secret to staying fit in middle age <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

Don't Mexican spearos want a place to hang out online and swap gear?

monster is there a Mexican spearfishing forum?

I'm sure you know to check out craigslist.

That's a pretty cheap new yak monster!

Yes, lets see a fish pic :blahblah:

The reason I was asking is because I was wondering if in Mexico you've seen the better way of doing it. The problem with the remote control and collar is that you have to be there and see the dog take the bait. Most times for that to happen you will be too close to the dog to time it properly and the dog will associate the correction with you being there. It will in other circumstances when you're not present still take food. With the better system you leave the bait on the ground and the dog can access it at his time. The shock will occur in the dog's mouth. There is currently not such product on the market in the US. I've built one and plan to market it.

In the case of an electric collar how is it activated?

Congrats, good choice. Once you familiarize yourself with the gun you'll move on to things like rigging the mono and tying the bands yourself. When you get the gun the first thing you should do is remove the safety. Don't forget to post a pic of the first fish you get with it, even if they're not huge

Monster, since you're aware of this procedure I'm going to ask how to your knowledge is this electric shock administered?

It's a one day paid training event where your dog gets exposed to the smell, sound and sight of a rattlesnake at the same time receiving an unpleasant physical stimulus such as from an electric shock collar. The dog associates the unpleasant stimulus with the rattlesnake and will avoid it in the future. The psychological principles of this training is sound and works in real life. These snake clinics are more common in the southern states. If I was taking my dog outdoors in an area where there could be a possible rattlesnake encounter I'd for sure take it to a clinic. It's especially important for dogs who have a lot of drive to engage other animals. Do an internet search for a clinic in your area.

hau, is your yak attached to the gun via the float line or do you leave it anchored?
