  • Looters Pirates of XXI century

    very often people are only concerned with the things that happen in their backyard...there is a whole big world that effects us all..we must be aware



    muy a menudo las personas sólo se preocupan por las cosas que suceden en su patio trasero ... hay todo un mundo grande que nos afecta a todos .. hay que tener en cuenta

  • What is your favorite gun and why?

    as someone who also started with a biller/ hornet I can tell you that the gun is a good started because it is defficient and forces you to grow into new gear.


    I recommend you go diving with some folks who either have loaner guns or let you use their gun for a few dives.


    The things you must consider:
    1) you are currently using a gun with a mid handle / rear handle plus configuration...do you like that or not so much
    2) will this be your only gun or will you have others soon. if this is your only gun, will you only be reef diving or might you hit some blue water as well?
    3) cost
    4) desire to upgrade gradually over many years or just buy one gun you will use for life


    I have several euro guns that I use now, a 120cm rob Allen w a 7.5mm shaft, a 90 cm Rob allen w a 7mm shaft and a 120 cm Tito gun w a 7.5mm shaft.
    I like the euro configuration because I like to use only one hand and feel more comfortable having the gun out in front of me and away from my face.


    I like the 120 length for the reef and still wouldnt feel too out of my league chasing some bluewater fish too.


    but in truth, it doesn't matter what I like cos you aren't me...get your hands on some guns and see what you like.

  • Broward Beach Conditions

    nice, Sunday looks like the day to shoot for...i am thinking shore dive and BBQ after...anyone in? I'll bring the frozen monster hog so we'll have something to eat regardless of our hunting success.

  • Looters Pirates of XXI century

    that reminds me of the movie "Indiana Jones and the last crusade"


    "this cross belongs to me Dr Jones" " No, it belongs in a museum!!" "so do you Dr. Jones"


    great movie



    very interesting thread Ramon, thanks for posting this

  • Day off miami w shallow runner

    Will do ben. This was beyond last minute. I think Shawn was called at 955 and we were on the water out of biscayne at1040. I knew he had his shut ready cos I had to sell him out on Saturday.


    Hopefully it should be somewhat regular occurrence. Fingers crossed

  • Day off miami w shallow runner

    it was like an optical illusion...i saw him and thought he must be a beast, because my last one was <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x"> and when I dropped Ithought I was farther away than i was (because I was in the wrong mind set to begin with) and when I fired (and hit him high cos Ithought he was farther away) I was literally shocked at how small he looked on the spear. I was in disbelief. lesson learned though, I was glad he didnt come up short or I'd have felt like a real POS

  • Hardware requirements to play/edit HD video

    one more thought...i find that using an external harddrive is a great practice for laptop users simply because our machines are subject to physical abuse that a desktop never experieinces.



    I have two seagate 500gb externals that are super easy to use and have never even hiccuped on me...all my pics and music is safe away from drops, magnets and crashes. i use two in order to have a constant backup and a double redundant back up of the previous save...ie...I alternate between the two fro saves so one is the most current and the other is the week before...


    I would also say you might want to looking into the line of solid state drives that are coming out...that is some awesome technology and it is going into laptops pretty soon if not already.


    cheers and post some videos already <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

  • Day off miami w shallow runner

    Shawn- for sure it is on this weekend...maybe hit some shore action to improve your odds with a bigger hunting ground:)


    Wish I had Gills- the weather was great in the morning and the wind just kept building out of the west, this was a trick because we felt some swell but out of the west it actually laid the water down,at first....by two or three when we were heading back in through the BAYthere were 2-3 ft chop and a howling wind...the boat we were on hit a few at the wrong angle and it was a VERY wet ride back in...good for bitching about with a few brews.


    the viz was amazing at first and shut down a little around noon, it felt like the plankton bloom picked up a bit as the water got a lot more particulate after that.




    as for Cuda cooking, it is a white meat and therefore can be cooked all the ways any snapper could, i love it in chunks about 1"x1" or 1.5"x1.5", breaded and deep fried. like the tronchos de pescado in a lot of cuban restaurants...it is also good in a curry broiled recipe or even pan seared with some garlic...I like to pre brown the garlic and some diced onions to make them a little crispy and then add the fish.


    Generally I wont eat one over 3ft, the one i shot was 34" and Shallow and I were debating if it was too close to the line to eat

  • Day off miami w shallow runner

    Got lucky enough to get on a boat on Sunday and went to hit some reef off miami w Shallow Runner and some other folks who were fishing rod and reel


    Thank god for the pursuit 3mil as I was toasty warm until the ride home when I foolishly changed out of the suit, only to get soaked to the skin in the freezing wind and swell that developed while we were out <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">


    I managed two cudas and one hog, nothing too exciting but I was a little shocked...I saw the hog from the surface (about 30 ft) and thought he had to be a big guy, all male and lit up the way he was. He was in the sand with nothing near him for referrence. I saw the sharp brow, dark face and black stripe on the tail and figured he had to be 15" cos up until yesterday that was the shortest male i'd ever seen. He was 12.5", legal but way smaller than I will usually shoot.


    Lesson is that being male has ZERO to do with the size of the hog.


    thanks to SR for the pics, my GoPro died on me (batteries) and I missed out on some great filiming.
    big cuda went 34"
