you may be right, like I said, I MIGHT have misplayed it, perhaps it was the best outcome...i just felt that they gave me the opportunity to take more than one and it didn't happen. still enjoyed the one I took.
has anyone had success at taking multiple fish from the same school or pod (not mahi, since that is a given)?
monster- any recipe you have for fish or lobster will be great..IMO Hog is better than our spiney lobsters and cooks great in many ways...my three favorites are
1) fillets with skin on. slice the fillets from the back to front (or front to back, just not top to bottom cos it will curl that way) and pan sautee in oilive oil and little butter with a touch of garlic (seriously very little) and then you can really enjoy the natural taste
2) ceviche- i make mine wet and with less cilantro than most, a little closer to crudo I am told, but this is the best fish for either
3) grilled whole over fire- I like it right on the flame or wrapped in a blanched banana leaf to start it off steaming and then grilling as the leaf dries and flakes away (stuff the cavity with chunks (not slices) of lemon and rosemary branches and onions, rub the outside liberally with salt and olive oil mixed into a paste)
or any other recipe imaginable
hiya friend, welcome and glad to have you...looking forward to learning from and with you 
great thread Tinu, i personally dont shoot big fish 
and often because my gear is not up to it
I use south african shafts (rob allen style) and they are tough as nails, I am sure that a fish can destroy one, but they have to work hard to do it...I usually dive in 50 ft or less and use a 65 ft floatline...with this rig I wont shoot a big fish that might run on me simply because I dont have enough range to play and land them...I have started adding a 10 ft bungee right behind my gun add some extra length and playing ability but since I switched, no monsters have passed in front of me daring me to test the gear
Nice hog alan...great fish
hau, as always, nice
Hau get's extra kudos today for literally doing all the work...as he was leaving (at this point I only have a 18" mack and a nice squid in the bucket) and hau says " you ned to go about 100yds that way...look in the sand"...and ten minutes later i had added two nice hogs and ben had added a nice mutton to the bucket:)
finished off the day with a nice 20" or so YJ that was the biggest of a school of three...I think i might have misplayed that hunt actually...I saw them and noticed they were doing a circuit around a coral head and through a small hole in the reef and then out to the sand and repeat... I wanted to take the rear one at the right time and then get the others as they repeated the lap....problem was, i think i altered their lap with my presence somehow and they changed course so i took the biggest and they scrammed...what I did was wait til they were in the reef and dropped to the bottom and tried to aspetto until they emerged...I thought i was ninja, but as I said, they altered course ?
still had a lot of delicious fish to bring to the memorial day bbq i went to in the afternoon <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
great report, glad you were able to get out,but...two misses.... dont worry, you'll have better luck 
just busting your balls
welcome aboard.
as far as spots, i am pretty sure the ocean is just to the west <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
monster had a good idea, even though he resurrected a old thread, thought i would do some of the leg work
I thought that this was a pretty commonly known trick but I thought I would share it for anyone looking to make a grippy surface, especially on a polespear.
I use self amalgamating tape wrapped over a copper wire..the tape is amazing as it bonds with itself to form a solid rubber grip..it is friction and adhesive based so it never will come off unless it is pulled or scraped off.
I will add some pics later tonight to help explain the process.
thanks for the thread Dan...i think the best thing to to not give any specific locations in threads...if someone wants to share a spot, go PM...that way there is no real problem
yeah, just dont stop one the way back in...if they stop you, you simply say that you were running through the park to return to the marina and that all of your diving was outside the park.
very interesting...I have observed that bowtie as well
be VERY careful with sharp metal wishbones...it is a great way to cut off a finger...!!!!
i recommend using the inserts on the back end but tie replaceable dyneema wishbones on the loading end...much safer
Why? Don't you like fish?
let's just say that Hau has found a way to barter normal snapper for vertical snapper <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
and we can all agree on which one tastes better <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
Sick, it looks great, and from experience it is very comfy in my hand.
congrats Steven
please keep us posted on the development Dan...what ID tube do they fit into?
yeah, I'm hooked already <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
huh? well holy shit!! you dont see something so totally new everyday. very cool.
I am not sure it would suit me, but it is none the less a very creative idea, thanks for sharing
i was introduced to that stuff on Shipshape tv, they do incredible stuff with it
well said Steven, i agree with that.
I also realy value stuff that I make myself, it means more and is often tailored exactly to your needs and body
huge cojones!! and very small brains <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
not gonna get me in that water for anything
