Nice mutton.

Thanks Hank! I've been reading your fishing reports for quite some time.

Where North? Los tubos? Cataño? San Juan? I dove there a lot too. Also at Isabela. Good memories...

I met Sein while diving in Isabela, I think you guys know each other.

Just the North coast... My father once told me, " tu eres dueño de lo que tu callas". I've ever seen a diver in that area and prefer to keep it that way.

These are the fish from that day.

I prefer spring steel like Rob Allens, very happy with them. Spearmasters rust very fast, haven't tried the Mako.

Is on the North coast. I would like to dive La Parguera but don't know anyone with a boat in that area.

Thanks George!

Nice mutton! Are you sure you are talking about meters and not feet? In the video it looks more like 20 feet than 20 meters to me.

Anyway it was a great shot to a nice fish.

When I lived there, just a handful of guys could spearfish freediving past 70'. And no one could freedive to 45 meters.

Even in the Med, it is very unusual to find someone who can dive to 45 meters.

But again, nice fish and welcome to the forum.

Gracias Marco! Yes, meters, but I'm not implying that I can free dive to that depth. I expressed myself incorrectly.

The mutton was around 30 feet. The next drop is 57ft, but if you keep swimming out it gets deeper. Dive partner went with tanks to explore the area, but stopped at 130ft. I wish I could free dive to the bottom of that area!

I will upload pics as soon as I figure how to. Hahaha nah, shallow for me is 20m or less.

Quote from Oscar

Sounds like a perfect shore dive.

Look forward to the photos.

45 meters is shallow? :cool2:

Hello form PR!

Went out this weekend to check out my favorite spot. I stayed shallow since I was alone but some parts are 45+ meters. Moon was full, hight tide, and the fish were all over the place. Lots of cero mackerels, dog snappers, and jacks hitting the sergeant majors.

On the first dive I found a nice mutton. As soon as I saw it I knew she was coming home.

I usually swim back to shore after getting a nice fish, to prevent loosing it to the sharks. But... there was so much action that I decided to stay and try my luck with the dogs. Saw some movement at the bottom, dove and found pargo guasinuco (cubera). Aimed at the gill plate, took the shot and he was done. As soon as I reloaded the gun, two nice cero started swimming around me, shot the bigger one and it took of with the gun.

I already had 3 nice fish, but still wanted a dog snapper. A couple of minutes later, the reef sharks found me, didn't want to loose any of those fish so I headed back to shore. I was recording every dive, but forgot to empty the card before diving, so the cubera and cero footage was lost

Don't know how to upload pics, any help? Thanks!

Hi all,

Long time lurker and first time poster here. I'm from San Juan but I do travel to different spots around the island. Glad to be here!

Went out on Saturday and ended up with some Bar Jacks, Yellow Jacks, Schoolmaster Snappers, Glasseye Snappers, 1 Cero mack, and 1 Almaco Jack.

Regards
