What kinda knife are you using? Sashimi blade? QUOTE Ladvr.
It's my hand made hand made fillet knife I built in 1985 from a old Sorenson Steel lumbering saw I found deep in a Connecticut forest when I was a kid. I took me several weeks to forge, shape and heat treat. The images do not show the color in the ab shell very well, the tubes through the handle are Ti. I will take better pictures and post a separate thread on the build in a week. The 56RC 8.5'' blade can be bent 90 degrees, is like a razor and is has only touched fish. I do not let my son or GF touch this blade, it is a bone cutter.
Outstanding!

The sling you guys are referring to was marketed as the Hawaiian Dart by Nemrod. I have one in mint condition with the original rubber.

I have Guys book and it is a fun read. I would also recommend The Arcturus Adventure by Beebe from the same era.

Awesome video and what a great day for the kids.

Nice clip Ben.

Not really a spearing report but a fun snorkeling adventure. I was looking to get some pics/video of the Southern Steelhead.
The Sespe Creek water shed is one of the largest uninterrupted water sheds in southern California. Located in the Sespe wilderness area of Ventura county the river runs for 60+ miles from its source at 5000’ before meeting the Santa Clara river in Fillmore California and eventually meeting the Pacific Ocean. More here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sespe_Creek
It is a long, hot, dry hike into the Sespe wilderness in the middle of summer. The trail head starts out in a forested area but quickly changes to a more desert like environment as you descend into the canyons. After about 8 miles the river starts to drop and bend. These bends form nice deep, clear, pools for the native trout and returning steelhead populations. They are also great places to cool off from the long hike. The water is sun warmed during the day and the bottoms of the pools remain cool. The rivers are fed by many tributaries along the way offering a reliable source of drinking water. Air temperatures were 90+ and I hiked early mornings to avoid the worse of the heat. This area is also home of some of the hottest running geothermal springs in California. Willet hot springs is 9 miles from the trail head followed by Sespe hot springs at 16 miles. The trout were very hard to approach in the water. However, in the evening and in the morning the fish were actively feeding on the surface. Probably would have been fun to toss a fly out in front of them.
Cooling off in a deep pool....

Scallops are good eats. Better then the local bugs but not as good as the crab. Congrats.

I didn't want to say something like this on the thread about Patrick Musimu, but it's OK here. The way I see it a diver has a better chance of ending up the same way if he adopts the mentality of freedive training, and that is what those courses promote.
I think a lot of those deaths should be listed as suicide. Very sad trend.
