Nice meeting you again. I'm pretty familiar with the ft lauderdale area. I fished it for like 2 years out of my jonboat out of John U. LLoyd. Look up "jon boat report" on spearboard, I think all were written by Kris most have videos. Haven't fished it in a long while though.

It all looks good. What do grelos taste like?

Barometric pressure also has to do with movement and lunar location.
Look up solunar tables, it will tell you what hour of the day fish are more active due to the moons positon.
Also before a front fish are active because they know something is coming. The pressure change makes them feed so after the front passes they are very inactive.
Could be Gustav passing by that has them inactive.

Float lines scare fish?
My old red one (clear vinyl died red) was loved by fish. I was lying on the bottom and was heaing numerous thumps behind me, when I looked there was a ball of baitfish attacking it trying to eat it.

What did you use instead of the hogfish head, chicken feet? <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin">

Great. I also have another suggestion, if the soup is too fish tasting you can add a little bit of tomato paste, I find it blends with and lessens the fish flavor of a strong fish soup.

There's a pawn shop in miami owned by a cuban.
A PR walks in and asks the owner how much for the TV.
The owner say "200 dollas boricua".The PR get mad and goes on to say the owner is racist and is trying to rip him off. The PR goes home infuriated and bent on proving the cuban is racist.
So the PR dresses up like an old lady and walks in and asks how much for the tv.
The owner says "200 dollas boricua".
The PR calmly walks out and starts cursing when he is out of sight.
He goes home and dresses up like a hot lady then goes back to the store and asks how much for the tv.The owner says "200 dollas boricua".
The guy continues to do this and is met with the same response from the store owner each time.
The PR finally loses it and goes off on the cuban."How the hell do you know it is me all of the time!!!"
Then the owner says " boricua, that's a microwave not a tv"

Rolo I'd like to look into it, my problem is how comfortably I can load it (minus the knee loader contraption)would you consider loaning it, perhaps for a small rental fee, so I may try the gun prior to purchase?
How tall are you. I used to have a mares 110 and I didnt need any contraption to load it. I later added a longer shaft (54 inch) and had to use a longer lanyard ~5inch loop to make it easier though.
Ii'm 5'10"

This is a really mild tasting soup and really easy to make. Add as much or as little of the ingredients as you like except for the carrots. Try to keep them to a minimum because the soup is so mild the carrots can overpower the soup.
Soup is in 2 parts, the broth then the soup. I used the head of a 9.5 lb hogfish and it yielded about 1.5-2 gallons of soup.
The Broth
Hogfish head(s) (1 large, 2 medium or about 3-4 small heads, remove gills and guts, leave on the meat flaps that surround the gut cavity)
1 whole onion
bay leaves
1/2 celery stalk leaves included
salt and pepper to taste
olive oilPlace oil in soup pot and heat it over medium-high heat. Add onions, celery, salt pepper and cook a while then add heads and continue to mix around. Add water to the pot until near full. Simmer for about 1 hour. Taste it every once in a while to make sure it has enough salt. The broth alone should taste pretty good.
I like to do it on the grill burner so the house does not get aromatic.
The Soup
broth
potatoes
malanga
carrots
some raw cubed fish pieces
angel hair noodlesStrain everything and set aside the strained contents to cool. Continue to boil the broth. Taste it, if it's too fishy or salty add water, if not fishy enough boil longer. It is important that whenever you add water to let the soup boil again so the new water mixes well with the broth. When cooled you can pick some cooked meat from the strainer and add to soup later or have little snacks.
When you get it right add potato, malanga, and carrots cut anyway you like. On average a 1 inch piece of potato will take 20 minutes to cook.
Sample potato and malanga to make sure it is cooked though. Taste the soup it might need more salt. Add cubed fish and let boil 5 minutes then add noodles and boil until tender.
You can add cooked rice instead of noodles.
Serve and enjoy.

Sure thing.

Anyone here selling the one on ebay?
I think I'm going to buy it. You think it is a good deal?
New one 260 plus new shaft =310
Ebay one is 200 and I think it comes with 2 shafts.

I heard ray tastes like fried shrimp on a review someone posted and they would keep one if they ever caught it again (H&L). They just cut off the wings and throw the body back. Then make sure to keep the wings from coming in contact with the fish, their blood spoils the fish or something like that. Wrap it up in plastic bags.

A common sight in Cuba, fishing off the Malecon in Havana.
I saw a guy in a wetsuit crossing the street with an octopus. I also saw a 12" jack when I was in the water. Nothing else though except tiny tropicals.

Awesome Mahi

They have some kayaks with windows on them and they also have %100 clear kayaks.

I'll just get it pressurized at the shop. Plus I still have my cyrano pump.
-
Where materials and temper are the shafts?
I used to have a cyrano 110 but I lost it.
He is selling a 115 used twice without anything so I need to get a shaft and shaft accesories for it. I told him I'll give him $80 for it. I would really like a 135 but I doubt I will get one for less than $100.
-
Just trying to find out if the gun is a 115 so I can buy it.

Thanks spora. Some guy is selling one but it doesnt have any stickers on it.
