I think a Cali diver named Kyle lost the fish of a lifetime (WSB) on a sliptube but I forgot the full story.
If you do one I would highly polish the shaft tip and I.D. of the tube. I do my fart gun inner barrels with a sized hardwood dowel and Menzerna polishing cream. I just never saw one in the flesh.
Cheers, Don
Has anybody used to Rob Allen slip tube? Seems very simple ( I think I could make one). Might give it a try and if it doesn't work I'll install a flopper and buy a Mori.
What is the target fish mike ?
There is a new Mori sliptip 9/32 on fleebay for95 let be know if you want a link.
Cheers, Don
Are those islands on the port side?
Nice job mate, forget those 3206 services..Pixar all the way.

I was looking over at mine one day, admiring it's Bitchinness sparkling in the suns rays, and a beautiful sail parked on my side showing the light show, but she was one of the few fish I wont pull on.
Cheers, Don
Marco i try that, but doesn't works, only small mackerel show up, i don't know why, its a weird season.
Yes that happens every once in a while, I have never had to chum for a fish. A lot of things that work in other blue water don't work here. Some years the hoo are just '' a week before or a week after a visit.
Cheers, Don
Thanks Guys.

QuoteThe kicker of the story is that he really has no scruples or integrity. In business or elsewhere. I dove with him on various occasions and he is the kind of guy that will take fish out of season and I have proof. He shot a 50lb Warsaw Grouper one day, in state waters when season was closed. Then he erased the tracks in the plotter to cover up. He did not post a pic of his fish untill after grouper season opened again. I have pics of his fish. Sad thing is that his daughter was onboard with us that day.

I might be completely out of line here but as you and I are both parents, perhaps we could edit or crop his daughters face out of the image? I hold her harmless if she was unaware, just a thought, no big deal.
Carry on.
Cheers, Don
Thanks Lee, those are the ones I was talking about. I only met Randy once, that was a hard loss
for everyone.
Cheers, Don
sounds great, count me in but how would the wife feel about having a bunch of your beer guzzling/foul mouth friends over? <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
I don't know any we are gentleman divers here in OC who even shave before we spearfish.
Cheers, Don
Mori, makes the best sliptip I've put my hands on. If I was looking to buy a knife to save my life, it would be a Randll. If if I was hunting fish of a life time the gear would be fabricated by me or I would buy it from Mori.

I have this old 1912 Cable Nelson that I try to play traditional Irish songs on. I'm just now getting over the hatred of weekly piano lessons as a kid. My true love was my 1957 Gretsch drum kit I played at age 8 till I moved here to Cali in 77. The drum kit is long gone after I loaned it to a friend in a rock band.:(
Cheers, Don
Because of all the Xmas party's the only two bands that can play are these guys.
Lets have a Cali Speardiver party, this would be a great year for a meet and great. Who's in ?
You guys set the place and date.
Cheers, Don
I heard it was only good if it was fresh out of the water. Is there any truth to that?
No, It needs time on ice so the flesh relaxes. If I shot one in the AM I cut it up for sashimi for lunch.
I've eaten it when the filet has been on ice or lower drawer of frig up to 3 days after the take and it's still OK.
Cheers, Don
That's a great eating size, is the Gordo still open to spero's ?...after the fleet leaves of course.
Nice color on the fish mate, and your English is fine.
Cheers, Don
