took this pic about ten years ago off the north east coast of Cuba...
met at the time by chance a cuban pro fishing boat... a dilapidated lancha and a proud mate showing his best capture of the day... or unconsciously making a sexual allusion?....;) -
Received from my friend Alexis this pic of an amazing capture made by free-diving off the French Riviera: a "saber fish" (trichiurus)/ poisson sabre.
This usually pretty deep fish was hunting at about 100ft depth...:thumbsup2:
Ever taken this specie? -
nice reef hunting captures congrat,s:)
-
snorkelling!!...;)
-
thank's for the feedback
recently receive pics from my colleagues/ friends working in bfin tuna net (Morocco)
as usually massive sword by catch taken every high season by scuba divers... easy "BW hunting" made with exceptional captures!:rolleyes1: -

they have limited resources.
you'r right!
a cuban spearfishing license is expansive++: about 50$ per year for a local hunting (only WE) and 100$ for a national hunting (WE).
only 5 (different) fish per day
no barra capture allowed (I was told) because of the ciguaterra risk
not any gear available there, nada
this is why most of the spearo usually do working in scuba diving center (double life/ langage: protection/ predation)
whatever you'r keen to do there, not forget three basic cuban says:
It' not allowed!
It's difficult!
It's impossible! -
AGAIN!:thumbsup2::thumbsup2:
Philippe Croizon.mov - YouTube!
did several time diving there
you have to be careful because of a strong surface current coming from atlantic and an opposite current in the depths... -
was told by my cuban colleagues that the spots located close to cities get out fished and cleaned by local spearos... unless to dive/ hunt there over 100ft..
been using to get there about 2 to 3 times per year since the end of nineties and love to get back.
hunting is an old tradition as well as in some countries of the Med Sea
I like by my cuban colleagues their exceptional "sense of fish"+++, their enthusiasm and good fellowship.pic of 4 cubera I caught on an afternoon at about 70ft depth in clear water
as usually clever/ distrustfull and deep fish -
This home made pneumatic gun called "bulliera" is not rare in Cuba! (Not sure about the spelling)
An amazing marvel of mechanic made do and mend:thumbsup2:
Unfortunately the range is short, so you have to get pretty close to the capture if you want to stun the fish... the shooting line is 4 about feet long!I shot there two days ago this snapper in the reef at about 70 feet: BOUM!!:laughing:

Have a great stay there and do resting as much as possible.;)
nice sea forecast in the area:
Windfinder - Wind & weather forecast Vilo Acuña/Cayo LargoI'm just taking the flight to Archipielago de los Canarreos
high season for snapper & cubera++Pleased to see again my colleagues there: El Chino, Pancho, Paco, Jose...
Cuban spearos are, in my modest opinion , the best of the blue planet in reef fish huntingshould try to get to Jagua Bank located far off the Cienfuegos coast
amazing fishy/ sharky spot probably never hunted/ explored. -
welcome aboard!
Did a trip there at the end of the eighties after visiting sri lanka (by avoiding a north part of the island because of the civil war)
at the time spearing was banned there for the no resident and I could only freedive
Meeting a huge giant manta squadron patrolling off the reef ray was an unforgettable experience... -
Resting... sucks but works!
Be back to Cuba 1st week of july and will think of pantoja. -
This guy is planning to connect the 5 continents... he's lost both lost his legs and arms!

How long was it?
about 8 feet and pretty keen to catch birds on the sea surface...

At about fifty miles off the Cape Town coast..
Freediving with blue sharks. - YouTube -
thank,s but I'm not braver than the average...
In my modest opinion, it need's first to be confident in the face to face... to think before the attempt " if the tiger attack me, it will finish the job and I'll be dead"... then to forgot immediately you thought that, while you'r focusing on the shark reaction during the attempt.

A tiger...:nono:
