  • ceviche

    surely, check it out, they require minimal amounts of soil and grow quickly.. almost like herbs or little cherry tomatos.

  • Hand powered spearfishing

    yes if he is in 2 feet of water (which it looks like) and he plants one hand on the ground for good balance to put full force behind the spear. But i really dont know what would be there worth spearing.

  • ceviche

    if bought as seeds i belive a little over 2 months to reach "maturity". but i dont thinnk that amount of time is set in stone

  • ceviche

    no i have them planted in bed made of two by fours sitting on top of the lawn and then filled with soil (home depot generic garden soil) . if you buy the plant a decent size they often already are fruiting or will within weeks of planting them. these were twigs when bought and it hasnt been more than a month.

  • ceviche

    yeah i usually use jalapenos but the bush was picked clean but the habaneros were still plentiful. Also i like to add avocado( not mixed in while curing but on the side after). in all honesty as much as i love ceviche i make it so often becasue i suck so bad at cleaning fish that my butchered exciuse for filets work out well. *and all the meat can be used right down to the bone and fins as someone mentioned.)

  • ceviche

    probably my favorite thing to do with fish i spear (depending on species) is make ceviche. I jsut wanted to share how i usually do it and then maybe get some feedback on alternative recipes and maybe some of you all's favorite types of fish to use in ceviche. (the picture below is one serving from a much larger bowl)



    I use (and proportions are really relative to the amount of fish, and this was one seventeen inch mutton from sunday that i vacuum sealed)
    2:1 ratio red to yellow bell peppers
    garlic minced
    habenros minced (i use alot casue ii like spicy, for this amount of fish i used two with seeds removed)
    red onion
    And lots of cilantro
    To cure it i use (again for this amount of fish) 1 cup mixed lemon, lime, and tangerine juice from trees in the yard. I wouldnt usually recommend using tangerine juice but these are very acidic and cure the fish well.
    well thats how i do it feel free to tell your own methods.

  • Broward Beach Conditions

    out from meade and north a bit. vis was garbage so i paddled on and on hoping it would get better. eventually over patch reef in about 30+ feet water it was a little better. ocean was like a lake early part of day which was nice. Got one mutton and a few smaller schoolmasters. Mutton was 18 inch

  • Schoolmasters for dummies

    lunkerbuster was saying that he was wondering about how fish in different areas that have changed alot arnt new species.
    ( in reference to the schoolmasters locally and in the carribean)

  • Schoolmasters for dummies

    i think two different species comes down to genetics,, and even kind of evades morphology alot of times. For example we get this fish at my work called a scott's fairy wrasse alot and depending on where they come from they can have totally different color variations and even fin shapes. All the pictures below are terminal phase males just so you know its not a hermaphraditic wrasse thing thats the difference.



    sorry to go off on a tangent but i think it answers the question about schoolmasters in deifferent locatiosn to an extent

  • kayak rigging suggestions

    yeah a hold isnt even an option in my case, i either kkeep the anchor in the bac or by my feet. and ur anchor trolley is awesome regardless, and nice bucket, that is a good idea. And mariner i persoanally, again due to space limitations, put fish in the kayak with a tarp or bag placed over them to combat the sun.
