    good job guys, i went out today and boats were wall to wall in my area,, i didnt look for lobsters just spearin as usual but couldnt pass up on a really nice size one i saw down iin a hole.
    so count me in for 1 ;)


    my neighbor hates me he took his boat out both days for 8 hours each day and got skunked, using a brownies


    nothin beats a kayak and a decent set of lungs :)

    yeah some of my fav. ocean days produced no fish,, also i came by the beacch jsut to sulk a little before class and had a good laugh at the huge sport fishing boats all within a 2 min swim distance from shore,, lol ppl are such tools.
    glad u had fun on the water brother!

    i hear what your saying,, it just seems like if you dont know how to cope and deal with old people then dont woork in a nursing home,, and if u dont know how to differentiate(to some extent) between possible threats and a person alone iin a kayak a mile out into the ocean, then maybe law enforcemnt wasnt a great choice. A lot of FWC guys ive met give me the vibe that they could be doing anyjob and hating it just as much. on the other hand theres been a few pretty mellow ones that saw clearly that everythings in order and recognized theres no need to hastle.

    im so over that crap,, That makes me so upset i cant explain it. i know this seems unrealistic to say but cant they recognize and respect someone who looks like they belong in the ocean,,, its not like haus a 14 year old kid with his dads speargun, no flag up, and a yak full of 7 inch hogs. He clearly shouldnt be "effed" with (regards to Don Paul's cursing wishes). And ive seen hau in enough situations to know he was COMPLETELY complient and respectful, which in the end is best cause it saves time and headache but i dont think my temperr would of handled that situation,, i think i would of been runnning my mouth.

    about a month ago i was laying on the bottom watching a hogfish and i heard croaks behind me and it was two 20ish inch gags locking jaws and then circling around one another ,,, i stayed in that spot diving back down over and over watching them it was really cool. But they made the sounds the whole time. and it was a gutteral crooaking for sure, I dont know if this applies to ur situation tin man cause idk if ur groupers were fighting/mating/whatever like these. either way ive never heard groupers make any noise other than the big thump when they run, except this instance (but i hung around a long time and they let me lay there 5 feet away long enough to know it was them ,,, anyways the hogfish got away

    i cant put into words how great it felt to get back in the water today,, ive been longboarding, taking long walks in the park, and other subpar activities jsut to stay outside and to get away from studying but nothing fills ya like the deep bllue <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
    any way north of everglades solo today seas were 2-3 feet and on the entire paddle out the water looked like milk. I passed the first and alll of a sudden it was clear to the bottom and it felt like the good ol days (three weeks ago:rolleyes: )
    i saw a lot of fish,, hogs and muttons in the 10-17" range.
    i have a full freezer so i passed on most of it. I was ascending from a dive that i spent my max on the bottom and saw something red moving,, and it looked like the ass end of a big mutton,, with the little air i had left i dropped back down on it and when it turned it was a very nice mutton, but i ran out of air and he/she spooked.
    anyway it was a beautiful day in the water and theres a lot of activity

    very sorry for the loss Don, im sure there are a lot of oldschool and newer cali guys that felt it in a big way
