Working out will improve your diving more than a mysterious freediving course
Hold on a minute here Dan. You're actually admitting that a free dive course might improve one's diving? <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">
This was about an hour before the fish cashed it in. Check out those eyes.....the intensity.....the fish didn't have a chance. It wasn't pretty......haha.
Nice one. Prick.......
What have your training sessions looked like?
I put on the iPod headphones, crank up some Skynyrd and go for about half hour to forty minutes. <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
Some hardcore shit. haha.
Well, since all my photos posted here from Facebook are gone, I guess I have to start a new thread.
I got a decent little dog snapper and a cero. That's me with the cero in the water. Jake....I'll let hiim tell the story. He's making me feel old
But the bike is working. I laid on the bottom up to 1 min 50 sec.....had a cubera come and check me out three times on the dive but he was too smart. Let a couple blacks go too. Three weeks since I was last in the water. My legs hurt today. Shit. But yeah....having more and more fun just diving. The fish....an added bonus.
We see these in the shallows of our intake canal for the farm. Really good when fried.
Honestly Dan, I can't say. On Tuesday I might buy yellow. Thursday, pink....it doesn't really matter to me.
If I needed line and you said, "I only have green"....I would take it.
Speaking of Mako wetsuits, I have a question. <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
I have two of their "old" style I guess., bought in 2010 I think A 1.5 and a 3 mm. The 1.5 has done something that I've never seen on any wetsuit I've owned. (maybe 12 or so?) The three hasn't had much water time. It isn't made for my body type and doesn't keep me warm enough.
the neoprene in the butt, back along the zipper and shoulders....just kind of dissolved. It's gone and you can see right through the cloth. I have some wetsuits much older than those hanging around with a lot more water time. They get kind of stiff and hard but the neoprene is still intact.
What the hell is that about?
I'm really going to try and make the Blue Wild in February. Looking forward to meeting the folks on here.
Wow Nate. Glad you didn't get hurt. That really sucks. As if free dive spearing isn't dangerous enough...we have to deal with dumbasses of our own species.
Most people make fun of me....but here on Speardiver, people are nice to me.
And I don't hunt no snappin' turtles.....
I like Speardiver too. Thanks Dan.
Wow !!
Amazing all the water coming over the stern as they backed the boat down. Shit. My boat would have sunk. hah.
I'm in a Hawaiian mood today too. Going to Kaneohe and Kauai in late Nov. When I first got there in 1977 and lived in Kahalu'u, this song was real popular. Nice
He made 3 on June 19. It's so much fun when they start to get into it. Jake would just take off with his little fins and mask and snorkel into deep water. No fear. Once they see fish underwater, they're hooked.
Rainy day, my left ear is clogged up so layin' around doing nothing. I think I'll take the weekend off and get my ear to clear up.
So Willy found this little pair of fins I bought in Hawaii 6 years ago for Mo. He bugged me all morning to try it out. So we did. He came up with the "Speardiving" term on his own. I thought Dan would like this. haha.
Gotta start somewhere. He spit in the mask, rubbed it in, rinsed it and was getting his face in the water and breathing through the snorkel.
That was how I started Jake at about 3 years old. Willy's been more timid in the water though. He's a climber and shows no fear of heights. But, now he's stoked and can't wait to try his new skills at the beach.
You got one of those new vests to fit him Dan? haha
Shiiiiit. Another level. Unreal.
That's a good idea.
And the edge of the neoprene could use some kind of seam to make it softer. As it ages it will get harder and more like sandpaper.
I really like the fit though.
Good choice. Let us know how it works. Or better yet, bring it down and show me.
Hey Cookie. I've only used Rob Allen and Wong reels. Here's the little I know.
The Rob Allen is a couple years old now and has never had a problem. It's easy to remove. Take off the drag knob, unscrew the main mount screw, slide it off the mounting bracket and unscrew the mounting bracket. Maybe 2 minutes. $70
The Wong reel is very similar. Daryl used to put RA composites on his guns. Now he has his own brand but the only difference I see is that it holds more line and has a larger drag knob. It's about $85 with no line. Add another $30-40 for line.
Hi Mac. Welcome. There is a guy on here, Marco, who lives down your way. He gets lucky now and then and gets some nice fish. <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">
He's real good actually. haha.
