    I split the carapace down the middle, then remove all the guts and nasty bits (testes/ovaries, digestive tract). What you have left are the legs, the shell, and any body meat that didn't come out with the tail. You can remove the body meat and reserve for another use, or just leave it in.


    After that, you can proceed as you would for any other stock.


    Thanks. What veggies and stuff do you add to your stock?

    Nate did get in the water with me yesterday too cept I was at work under the boats... dude surface polespeared a 5 lb sheepshead off the chum slick of barnacles i was knocking <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">


    Hahaha I hope you got a finders fee

    Weaker or poorly built?
    A reef mech has less holding power than a tuna mech but I don't consider that "weaker" as it is designed for a lesser load.
    The rob Allen cartridge for example has ss bits and is well made but I would not ever load three bands on it.

    Sup buddy


    Just in case some of you have not met tony before he is a damn fine ambassador if our sport, always giving his time and knowledge to new folks and spearos visiting kw.
    He also has some really cool dogs

    i agree with Dan , but personally i think it is important to view all spearguns and trigger mechs as 'unsafe' , regardless of brand or how many hours of R&D went into it , muzzle control is king in terms of safety .


    True words my friend!!! Muzzle control is the only safety


    As I said before, I am blown away by your skills, my concern is just for your safety but it sounds like you are all over it.

    I wanna be bigger than Jesus, bigger than wrestling, bigger than the Beatles, bigger than breast implants.
    I'm gonna be the biggest thing to hit these little kids, bigger than gun, bigger than cigarettes.....


    That dude is a mental case but he puts together some amazing turns of phrase.

    Tony. I was kind of thinking the same thing and not saying anything. I feel like triggers are a fun project but the consequence is so real that I just feel better knowing some r&d and fatigue and destruction testing was done. Knowing the speardiver mech will hold 7 bands gives me the confidence for using three.


    I am enjoying the amazing machining skills on display here, but I do agree that the actual use of a homemade trigger is quite a hairy prospect.


    Nothing but best wishes and good luck on the project. I hope I do not come off discouraging, just cautiously warning

    Oooooohhh weeeeeeee I love that high lonesome sounds. The original super group



    Tony- atmosphere, like mc sluggo from Minnesota??? Lucy ford ep is one of the finest albums ever

    Sure did, twice, but I didn't take pics. It was a lot of prep work compared to my go to duck recipes but it was damn good. It was good the first time but I didn't prep the skin right, I poked holes too far through it and it allowed the breast meat to dry out a bit, as it's a pretty lengthy cooking process. The second time I hand picked 3 ducks that had noticeably more fat under their skin and I was super careful when scoring them. They were downright amazing, really incomparable to anything I've experienced. I should have replied to let you know how it went and thank you for the suggestion, but I'm always hesitant to bump my own threads. Better late than never, Thanks Judah. :)


    Awesome man. That is great. I will assume the prep is best left to the highly qualified chefs at my local Chinese restaurant!! Hahaha. I was thinking about trying one smoked. You ever mess around with that?

    Mark you bastard!!! That sounds like my first day in heaven!!


    I should have known you were a ska guy too! We have much to discuss


    I forgot to mention a passionate love of bluegrass. This has led me to many many awesome other genres like Cajun high country fiddle music, zydeco and slamgrass/jam grass. Still bill Monroe and David Grisman are the best
