that sounds a little too tall given the width.

i have to applaud you all for all the work you have done on this issue. it is amazing you have not lost composure and beaten anyone yet.

man that is some beauiful wood..I hope you do a lot of shaping of this blank to reveal the awesome geometries contained within.

welcome man....you are very lucky to have a good dive club to belong too so young...that will help you a lot as a diver and responsible ocean man.

sounds good man..lets shoot for sunday...I would like to maybe plac esome crab traps if possible. we'll be in touch

welcome

Slight derail.

I gave runner two 5/8 band at 25 and 26 inches because he has never done any chest loading and we figured it was better to learn on long bands before tightening up ...

Which brings me to my derail. I used the pursuit inserts http://freedivingspearfishingg…/26-wishbone-inserts.html in the two 24" ones we made

They are great. Big top end w a good mushroom shape, they slid in easily because of the taper and had great holding power like a mushroom anchor. The hole is smooth and small enough that a basic figure eight knot seems like it would hold well. Good stuff

this is a new RA mech..i looked at it and it has the SS line release and does the recess itself when not engaged...i think that SS can maintain all of its integrity...it is only a 50 replacement...i treat all spearguns as though they could fire at any moment anyway

all i do is shore dive and mine is in tip top shape..no cliff climbs for me though

Welcome man. Nice to have you. Please do post about your build. We love a good gun build around here

Very cool on the move man. Congrats. Need any help w the move?

Quote from Dan

Thanks guys.

Joe, the puppies will be sold locally when they're 8 weeks old, except for one male that I will keep for myself. I will start with $1000 and see if they're moving. These are AKC registered dogs. Probably some of the pups are not for everybody, my male has extreme prey drive which requires an experienced handler to control. I'm sure he'll pass it on to some of the pups.

Dan are you going to have both males? I hope Rocky isn't going anywhere.

I have a buddy w a boat. But honestly I'd swim them out and check em out by a jetty.

As for the de-clawing you are right. Grab at the first knuckle and turn counterclockwise they will actually release the claw w no damage to the crab

Welcome. Nice Hali indeed

Nice report guys. Looks like a fun time even without big fish.

No fin diving is fun. 30 is about my best also

Mazel tov !! Glad the whole family is well

Yeah. I'm going to get five tonight.

So I want to try my hand at stone crabbing this year...I have dove the miami beach jetties before in years passed and always seen more crabss than I could get to and usually took home about 2 total claws.

This year i have decided to go all out and I am going to set up and use some traps as well.

So I have a few questions. I know that they are found nearshore and that they like mudflats adjacent to grassbeds. Does anyone have any experience with diving or trapping for them that they could share.

I know how to actually measure and remove the claw and I am a "take only one claw" guy.

I am not looking for specific spots (although if you want to, PM me ) just info about how to succeed in this venture

thanks

wow, that is a ringing endorsement if ever there was one...thanks!

what size and configuration are you using Spearhunter? I have been debating about starting a build of just getting an ulusub for my BW gun.

they are beautiful and have a great reputation.

best rashguard ever too
