i have never cut one down but i have used the wood with no reaction
phil
I SHOT this dog snapper with a gun made from the wood and a couple hours later, I opened the cooler and this was all that was left. <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">
Near a great hotel...;) and a private community of gringo houses.
Big sharks live there eating seals in the winter, it is only safe to dive for me and my friends.;) <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">

Hey, I'm not asking for GPS coordinates <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x"> The name of a country would have sufficed.
Nice. Where is that? Those look like the cuberas here in Belize.

Awesome videos Lee. Thanks. Man, I gotta get in the water.....NOW !!! haha Too much work lately.
I heard that plastic bottle crunching method really attracts them. Looks like it really works.
Nice. I have to set mine up. A friend gave me one but I haven't tried it yet.
hmm... i kinda need the shaft to be totally concealed in the bag because I have to bring it on an airplane to Grenada. I also need a lot of other space in the bag because of baggage restrictions.
1 inch PVC pipe. Schedule 40 so it won't bend.
Are you sure you didn't get bit by a spider or something in that tree?
FINALLY!!! Clean water.
I took some guests....business associates of the boss out on Wednesday. North winds and waves and wet for the 14 mile ride out. But, the Gods are fair.....I was taking them around in shallow water due to very little experience in the sea. I saw this one little (3 lb) dog pass under me in only 12 feet of water. I dropped down to the bottom and was cruising after it a bit and out of the corner of my right eye, his big brother appears, passes me and turns right in front of me. Yes, the Gods do smile on us at times. hah.
The one guy was really stoked which made it a lot of fun. I took them to a deeper spot...only 25-40 feet or so and showed them Lesson 2. There was a big barracuda cruising around us and I showed it to him. Then I went down to the bottom at about 35 feet and laid there behind a rock. Sure enough the barracuda came slowly cruising in closer....and closer.....and I was running out of breath.....shot and MISSED. haha. Anyway, he got the idea. He wants to get a gun now and try to shoot fish in Montana where he lives half the year.
The Spetton wetsuit is really nice and warm and comfortable. Only 1.5 mm and this time of year I usually am in my winter gear of 2 mm vest with 3 mm full suit over it.
Nice barro'. as they call them in Belize. Welcome.
Looks like you had great vis. NIce fish.
Look at the shot placement. Those are hard to hit. I see them cruising past at some spots here and I hardly have time to get my gun up and pointed before they're gone and out of range. I hit one finally and was aiming about a foot ahead of the fish. I hit it about where she did.
Welcome. I lived there for 11 years back in the 80s and 90s. I visit fairly regularly. Great place to hang out.
Beautiful pictures Don. Reminds me of where I grew up with the wild turkeys coming in the yard.
My Honduran wife is roasting a 13 lber as I type but it's just not the same....although good....without all the trimmings. Tortillas, salsa and beans are good too but.....haha Happy Thanksgiving !
This is a clean kill. If you can hit them like this, they don't move anymore. It's the only time I've ever done it and probably will never do it again. hah
:laughing1::laughing1::laughing1:
Whatever has to be done! I just want to spear while I am there. That's why I was asking about that Ray Oder you have.
I can loan you a gun.
Excellent. That last fish was BIG.
So can't wait to get to Belize in March! Doing research on one of the islands on the barrier reef but hoping to get some spearing in during the little down time I will have.
Where are you doing the research? In Southwater Marine Reserve? I know there is a small island next to Southwater Caye that is a research station. I go down that way but farther south, out of the reserve. I have some nice spots down there. If you want, contact me when you get here.
There is one little problem I need to solve with these pull start motors.
When I have guys in the water and I'm following, I shut the motors off and drift. Problem is when I restart them, especially the port side one, and the sea is choppy, I've almost fallen overboard twice. haha. I need some sort of harness.
