Wrap mono first then load bands.

It is a common length for maximum range.

Get a simple sling. Way more effective than the most expensive pole spear.

I think the 110 cm is better. Any good brands or guns your recommend?

Even though this guy targets fish that would be scoffed at in the US like Blowfish and Moray eel, he makes an honest attempt to consume everything he spears so I respect it. Looks to be experienced at spearfishing too. Click the caption button in the youtube video to get the translation, it's worth it as he's quite articulate..

Diving from Fort Lauderdale beach I found a Queen Conch, which is kinda rare in this area. It was lying on the bottom upside down, the pink shell stood out against the reef background. Live Queen Conch may not be harvested https://myfwc.com/fishing/saltwater/recreational/sea-shells/. As this one was lying upside down I assumed it was dead and collected it. When I got home and washed it out the partially decomposed animal flushed out, so it was indeed dead when I collected it. But it made me wonder why it died. I entertained the possibility that it was turned upside down, couldn't right itself and died, as there was no damage to the shell. I thought it unlikely though because being turned upside down must happen sometimes to these animals and nature must have given them a way to get out of that situation. So I did a search on this and was amazed at just how capable this animal is of righting itself.
BTW while searching for a pic I was surprised to find Conch shells for sale on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Nautica…ma-Seashell/dp/B01GEJ6QDK . For this money the conch must come under a lot of pressure. I don't like it.

Yes it is rather retro. Makes me think of Nautilus/Capt Nemo.

Looks like a bad trigger guard design. Getting a finger on the trigger with gloves on will be like threading a needle.

Welcome to the forum. Good luck with the search. Post about your trip when you get back.

You make it sound so sad
