Got out with mark and Jimmy and Fernando on Sunday. We had a great day.
The weather was beautiful. A little windy out of the south primarily but the swell was way down and that made for just a little chop which was very manageable.
We launched at around 730 from homestead and headed out to some of our preferred spots

We were treated to amazing water which looked clear from the surface. We still had a solid 35 feet of vis but it was still very nice diving.

I very quickly realized how out of shape I was and figured it was going to be a hunting and technique day since I couldn't out wait them on the bottom.
I spent the first few laps around the reef finding good ambush spots and getting teased by all the big grouper who knew they were off limits.
I found a nice spot where the reef made a Cove of sand about 30 yards across and surrounded 3/4 by reef about 15' tall. I was circling the Cove and followed a nice sized cuda and followed him directly across the sand. As I was becoming clear that I wasn't going to catch him I spotted a school of big chubs cruising by. I was about to look away when I realized there were imposters in the school. About five yellow jacks were mixed in, three were about 18" and two over 24. I slowly followed the school from the surface until the chubs and jacks parted. I slowly dove and descended at a very shallow angle. I wanted to get to the big guys but the schoolies were between me and them and I knew if I forced it they would bolt and spook the bug ones. Luck was on my side and the three small guys veered off enough for me to give two medium kicks, close the gap, wait for a slight angle and pop! Right behind the gills on entry and right out of the other gill plate. He pulled a bit. Got under some coral but the shaft was right at his head and he kept bouncing out. Got him to the boat and only pulled the trigger once more all day on a nice cuda I missed
Shot some pics and videos and had a great day with the guys. I'll let them tell their stories

It is incredible how well it blends to our bottom over here. I was convinced it would be amazing in cali but it really is great.

Mark handled an inappropriate amount of rubber

I also am all about the red

Sick. I love it

Best feature is it makes your belt easy to find on the boat. I have to always grab two or three before I find mine

Awesome!!

Hahaha hahaha thanks bud

Quick question. Is poke said like poh-k (sounds like joke) or poh-kee (sounds hokey) or poh-kay (sounds like okay)

Just remember, on most places, the addition of a motor to a human powered craft requires you to register the boat

Welcome. Lots of great fish come out of the Tampa area. Will you have a boat or know anyone with one?

With the camo and those beauties I really can't even see the diver

Holy shite balls!!!! That is a haul of fish.

I agree. And a hell of a nice looking boat

I think that a braid of dyneema could get thick enough. It would not be as substantial as the braided paracord but I think we could get it thick enough that it would be easily grabbed by feel alone

Mark. Hau does raise an interesting point about absorbing. Maybe we should braid a few strands of spectra

Amazing thread. Very nice recipie!!

I want to get some cudas

I am still using my Speardiver C90.
Had em for at least 3 years of constant use. Still going strong.
