Moved it to the boat section.

i wasn't sure if folks considered kayaks actual boats

pm me your address and I'll send you what you need in a few days

here are some things I have done to enhance my yak/spearo existence

feel free to pm me for any instructions or additional pics.

thought I would share these for anyone else who is looking to gear up their kayak- i know I love looking through the net for ideas so I thought I would add some pics for others to use

first is a quick access for the rear hatch (I tend to only use the front one for extra gear as i prefer not to have weight in the front)
I came up with this for the ability to get into it very quickly and easily (even when wearing gloves) and still have it secure and there is an option to make it extra tight if you are in rough water.
open:

closed normally :

closed tightly:

this is just a quick shot of the anchor trolley, some reflective tape (adds a lot of visibility ESPECIALLY at night, and the drain plug

this is a really nice speargun holder- it is just two hook and loop straps (97 cents at west marine) 2 ss washer and 2 rivets. I run one through the trigger and around the stock and the other just around the top of the stock (sometimes through the bands) and the gun is not going anywhere.
the red arrows point to them and the blue is just a regular paddle holder rig

up close

and here is a really easy to make paddle holder that I made out of pieces of scrap

excellent..I really like the integrated floatline holder and the reinfocement is genius..very good idea right there.

looks awesome man, I hope you get back there if you are missing it, I hope I get there one day as it looks like a nice spot to dive

thanks for the pics

if I see such a fish Dan, I will figure something out :).

I should be blessed to have that problem often

the nice thing is that most reef fish will fit, they bend, and if the bucket already has a few fish in it, I am close to having all the fish I need at that point.

thanks for that advice...I have a pad that I made, it is just a foam flipflop that I cut in half and glued in my wetsuit. It was impossible before I added the pad.

I am using the technique they lay out on the RA site, thanks for the tutorial though.

I just need to get it down, I can tell that I have the strength, but the form makes such a difference. I loaed it 4 times and two of them were awful, I was literally seeing stars i havd to exert so much, the other two times were a struggle, but I had glimpses of how easy it can be with proper technique....oh well, just another excuse to get out and dive more often..

"but honey, I have to go, I need to practice my loading form :)"

here is my new killing tool...I am a big fan, but I need a lot of practice with the loading, it kicked my ass today

you are a monster hau...ONLY...ha

here is my dinner guest

i made this rig for holding my fish...i tow it behind my flag float..it is intended to keep all the shark attracting juice in the bucket and out of the water...i am very happy with it

glad you got a nice hog though.

i would believe it if there were some pics

i can't see the pic

that is a cute ass little dolphin. thanks for sharing that.

I wonder if he is treated differently within his pod? they mention all of the adaptations and weaknesses that he has, but I always thought of pods as looking out for one another, how does this play in?

This is ridiculous...why?

while that thing is clearly a frankengun, it is a nice job with the finishing and the bondoing and such..it got a lot better looking in the last three pics

also did this guy in the pic shoot both fish on the same shot? what is up with his striger/lineshaft

hell yeah it would..with a few clips around the edge so you could scope out the floatline you wanted and then be secure at that length..I say it is an awesome idea...the round shape on the float would add tdrag over say a torpedo or longer float, but that is manageable

agreed, i always iki them too, i was just wondering what others thought about the chill kill method....to me, iki is essential cos it keeps the vibrations to a minimum and that is tax man stealth

hey buddy welcome

You will love your new gun. I love the wooden extension in the back third to hip load. I would really like to go with you and get a beer and talk about spearfishing afterwards ... Ill be ther with you somehow, i`m stoked for you. Nothing like getting a new speargun

hahaha, he didn't do it...the rob Allen reigns supreme in the Hau quiver...

i would love to sit and chat spearo with you whenever you find the time to venture to miami
