    hau- thank you siir and likewise. i always like the indian analogy :native:


    mr. mike- yup not the usual reef triggers, this is one of only very few times i'd ever seen one


    I see a lot outside the first reef near pompano, not usually bigger than 12" and in small schools of 2-5, bigger ones are usually alone or with one other similar sized fish. I saw them for the first time relatively near the surface on my last beach dive, where they were just roaming with no structure around. The small ones I see are usually on or around the reef mixed in with tangs, parrotfish, or angelfish. They are typically very stupid and approach me within arms reach.

    you know Dan, I realize you were joking but we should have done some destruction testing on the short piece....


    I suspect the five constrictor knots will hold against most anything, but I wonder if they would fail before the actual bungee.


    all we need is a force guage and a trailor hitch <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">


    I can swing by in the mud truck, I've snatched an 8000 pound rig from 3-4 feet of mud, if the bungie can hold it back I'd be impressed.

    please post a pic of the trigger if you can, I had to pelagic-like triggers follow me the other day. they were about 10' below the surface in 35-40' of water. Their were 2 of them and the would come in and out of view every couple of minutes.

    Hau I only saw one shootable fish today and I friggin missed. Water is too cold for me to continue this year in my rash guard and board shorts, I had to go in early today because I was freezing. Unfortunately I won't have any money for a wetsuit anytime soon because my transmission crapped out on me on the way home. I will report back when I'm shooting fish again.

    went out tonight from 4:45-7ish, visibility was dropping to under 20' I didn't see any fish in the daylight hours, found a half dozen lobsters but only one was legal unfortunately. He was my only catch today before i was really uncomfortable in the dark and came in. hopefully conditions improve soon.

  • Dive Knives

    I sharpened the tip on my pursuit knife right after I bought it. it works great for me and is far more manageable than my old wenoka

    mrmike---I'm very glad to see someone else post sir. I was starting to get lonely. AND, your pictures are great also. Keep them coming. Maybe your pictures will take the heat off me.:rolleyes: Nice fish and post sir. Congratulations


    will do. I don't know how you always find the hogs, I see one every now and then but they are usually very small. I see lots of macs up this way and its weird because if I troll the reefs in the boat i get spanish and when I spear i usually only see cero, and can only ever shoot the smallest.

    Conditions were excellent today although the water is getting a little too cold for a rashguard and board shorts. I got off of work early and worked inside the first reef with a new spearo/snorkeler, got a 20.25" grouper (i thought he was bigger but at least he was legal), a small mac, and 2 very nice lobster including a new PB.




    Hau- not trying to hijack your thread just wanted to add N. broward conditions. I hope this is OK
