South of Long Key bridge there is no 3 mile limit on the Atlantic side. However, keep in mind that you probably will get stopped and inspected by: MCSO, FHP, KLPD, FWC, Home Land Security, USCG, Fish Huggers United and a few others I have forgotten. Also, there are protected areas you are not allowed to spear, areas that you are not allowed to even be in, No guns in the state parks, zones where you are not allowed to drop an anchor, etc, etc, etc.
Oh yea, I forgot. Good luck

I forgot aboutthat... I keep it simple and just get on a boat when i go down there .

RA sold.

Sorry dude. Been swamped lately. We can do the Xbox swap this weekend if you want or you can just sell it outright. I have put my little roller on the back burner for the moment so I can go either way.
If you find a buyer before we link up, sell away. Otherwise I gotcha this weekend

no worries dude, Im starting a new job and the driving is killing me... got screwed over by my old boss from bottom cleaning too so I ended up in the negative from him.

Its yours if its still here this weekend.

still not doing shipping. i dont have the time to do so right now. Just started a new job. Local pickup only, sorry.

ill bet he used his teeth and went all skinny freewilly on that thing instead of shooting it. mmmm mack belly n guts RAW

Well I had no idea of the situation there. My only previous spearfishing experience has been in Cuba and there sharks are very rare to see diving from shore. The Bahamas stint was about 10 years ago.

Chalk it up to a learning experience :thumbsup2:

Really? I lived in Nassau for 3 months. I dove 2-3 times a week and every dive I saw sharks, sometimes as soon as I'd get in the water from the beach in 10ft of water, on the north and south coast. They'd attack fish I shot and take fish off my float. I don't mind shooting fish with a sling, but I don't feel comfortable having to deal with sharks with a sling. Risky place to dive with or without a speargun IMO.

you might as well go drop kick a hornets nest and a killer bees nest at the same time floating your fish in the bahamas.

I was in nassau in march and only saw one shark out deep that ate a tuna we had on H&l. They all gravitate to the tourist feedings now on the one side of the island.

havent been there personally but know a few people who work at the club med resort there.

San sal?

Lots of fish there but lots of sharks. have a boat and dive buddies to watch your ass.

Another solution with those tuna clips for those who dont trust them... Try some electrical tape around the clip...

strange that you had a problem with a tuna clip. Ive longline commercial fished with them and used them for spearfishing since I started and never had a problem... I prefer them over anything for securing floats, lines, etc.

Hit the dry tortugas and the vandenberg this weekend. PB red grouper, good hogs, 2 ajs, 1st and PB permit at 20 lbs, some serious flag yellowtail... also got an absolute hoss of a schoolmaster, least the biggest ive ever seen.

Notched, and right now id like to avoid shipping in the hopes someone local will pick it up from me. I think lunker was supposed to get this from me before but we havent talked about it in a few weeks, if he chimes in and still wants it he does take first priority.

Time for this thing to go... its a vecta with the blue handle and plastic line release. asking 80 bucks. straight shaft, no bands i broke them.

We all love this sport of spearfishing, that why we are here. Who cares what sites you like and don't like. Who said what and to who. Move on.

I dont care for spearboard anymore either and Im not allowed to post there, and i really could care less. Im done with bashing that site or bellyaching.. its stupid. the amount of politics and competition in this community is a waste of oxygen on everyones end.... Ill keep holding my breath and shooting fish... the world will still turn.

Sick!! That things almost as big as him, I wish I was shooting fish when i was his age!

Minishark fins on my railgun with closed muzzle work with no issues, been shooting 2 guns like that the past 3 years normal sharkfin however is a different story. Never tried a pinned shaft so I can comment on those.

pacha, you should look into sharkfin or mini sharkfin shafts... Ive broken a few notched shafts myself. the only ones I trust that are notched are the Rob allen/spearmaster shafts. Every gun Ive used/owned besides my RA that had a notched shaft looked like they were ready to explode... sporasub instinct, omer cayman 2000..
