    Barracudas are easily taken without float or reel. Shoot them in the top half of their body preferably the head and pull them to you. Then straddle and brain them.


    i agree to a point but u try shooting a 50+ pounder like we got where im from without stoning him and see how much u pull him to u lol

    Here's another....."Even doh I am a hungry cock, ah doh eat rotten corn" – One should maintain his dignity and integrity irrespective of his wants.

    Thanks John, seems like alot of useful info there. Currently the only available long blade in my area is the Riffe, anything else has to be ordered from abroad and borrowing is kinda outta the question cause im not your average human lol. But i think once i make a choice on any long blade(once i get the right foot pocket), from what y'all been saying, it should be better than what i use now

    lol I agree with that cause i believe ive reached that certain point. Another thing, is there an unspoken rule among fin manufacturers that once your footsize is more than 13, you wouldnt need fins to begin with so they dont make bigger? lol

    well ive been using a pair Mares Avantix 3 that i use to scuba dive to freedive also so anything more than that is long lol. i see every freediver worth his poundage in fish using these long blades so i wanna know what im missing. i do pretty well with what ive got so will a longer blade make me better?

    Im thinking of investing in a pair of long blade fins and im looking for some advice on whats the best brand/model to get as far as price/efficiency/durability are concerned. ive never used long blades and ive heard they're not really good for long surface swimming which i do most times but i think the benefits in terms of efficiency will far outweigh that.

    it is a lot of wood but as u said Dan....im a big boy...6'6 220lbs with a 7ft wingspan but all in all, i guess i was fortunate to have chosen the right gun and have it work for me. Riffes are expensive here in T&T so ive learnt to use what ive got and make it work....and boy does it work!

    i have 1 SPEARGUN...a Riffe Baja Plus. ive shot almost everything from as small as 2-3lb spanish mackerel up to 400lb grouper. i just find ways to work with what i have so i make the gun work for me, cant complain.................... I LOVE MY RIFFE!:thumbsup2:

    The second Barry was almost as long as me and I and 6'5.


    i know ur new to this but u got to remember to have the mindset of predator when ur in the water yet still respect that ur in their element. im 6'6 and i once encountered a monster cuda. he didnt want to tell me his weight so i had to measure it myself...good thing i did, fatboy needed to lose some of that 65lbs

    Hey John, the vis and the sea conditions around Trinidad are not good at this time cause our rainy season has just ended so waters from our rivers and Venezuela's are still hanging around. Your best bet will be Tobago, our smaller island, with the SeaHunt team of Brian and Richard Parkinson. Contact them and they'll give u all the info u need. Tinu also dives with them. In advance, Welcome to Trinidad and Tobago, be safe and i hope u go back home with some great pics and memories!
