  • Why are you a spearfisherman/woman?

    I agree with everyone here. It's a primal thing. Men have hunted since day one wheter alone or in groups. It's brings camaraderie, competition, pride, etc. The thrill of the hunt and also knowing that you could be the one hunted adds to the excitement. The ability to put fresh seafood on the table and the feeling that comes from knowing that you can provide for your family. To me spearfishing just feels right, being in the water in contact with nature, messing around with friends or sometimes alone is just awesome. We might spearfish for different reasons, some for fun others to support their families but we all agree that spearfishing is just plain BADASS.:thumbsup2:

    Here in P.R they're considered a pest by D.N.R . Some people say that they always been here but others say that they were brought from S.A. as pets (they were sold at pet shops until about a few years ago but now are everywhere so people don't buy them no more) others say that they escaped from a closed zoo we used to have.

    I belive they are the same we got here. They're very bright green when little with no markings. Then when they're juveniles they develop some black rings around in their tails kinda like segments. And when theyre adult the black segments fade some or totally and they turn kind of brownish/greyish color. Also their front legs turn orange\yellowish when mating season. They grow here to about 6 feet long. They love water and you could see them crossing rivers and mangrove channels. You see them here on trees especially if there water nearby. I'll try posting a pic when I find or take one.

    An iguana is going to die.. What do you recommend to catch it? I have a long bow but many times they sit on the asphalt or pavement and I don't want to break any arrows.


    Just grab it with your hands, make sure they don't wack you with their tail. You have to be fast and try to grab it by the tail first by the thickest part possible and then quickly behind the head if not it will release it's tail and escape. If it is high up in a tree we hit them with a pellet gun in the head and get them when they fall. Still watch that tail. They taste pretty good in fricase(stew?) the meat is really white , looks like rabbit or turkey meat when cooked and has delicate flavor (kind like chicken/reptile) not strong like other reptiles I have tasted before.And yeah skin it before you cook it.:thumbsup2:
