    A couple new friends came down from Texas last week. Nathan does a lot of blue water hunting up in the Gulf. Man, I felt like I was taking some big game deer hunters out squirrel hunting. We found some fish despite the dirty water. Saw some jacks, permit, a few cuberas and the school of dogs. I had a shot on a couple kingfish but I was at about 60 feet watching them swim by in the blue just over the wall. It was makable but if the fish had run deep I might have run out of line. He'll be there for another day.
    It was a very nice three days of diving with someone who is as crazy about this as I am. I hope to hook up with them in Texas and try some bigger fish some day.
    His buddy was trying spearing for the first time and got a grouper at 55 feet!!. Needless to say, he was stoked.

    I agree with Don. I totally lost my mojo for a while shooting black grouper. I had a new shaft on and didn't notice it was bent before I ever used it. I missed about 4 easy shots. For months after that I'd be looking down the gun at a grouper and thinking, "shit, I'm going to miss again". It sucks.

    Wow TT, You really sucked that day. ^^ <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"> Just kidding. Thanks for sharing that. I just got a GoPro so I'll try to get some video up if I learn how to use it....which could take a while.

    Unfortunately, the beach was cleared again and there were cones and caution tape across the stairs. Knowing the city would never place those there and that the cones are a tripping hazard in the public right of way .


    That's amazing. People are nuts. Why doesn't the city put up a big sign telling the public to ignore any signs saying the beach is closed? If the psychos take it down, they can be arrested for destroying government property.
    The fact that the law doesn't step in and control these morons is a bit telling though, that perhaps the idiots have some supporters in the local government?

    I would love to see this fight tonight but don't have pay per view.
    Marquez is a champion and although I would like to see Pacquiao win, I have to say that Marquez is my second favorite fighter. 'those Mexicans just don't quit. Good luck to both fighters.

    Hank, you opted for the 2.5mm open cell? The 1.5mm is nylon lined and should require no lubrication.?(


    Unless of course you're one of those creepy fb wetsuit fetish guys. But I'm not judging <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">


    It's not me....it's my wife. Honest....^^
    I got the 1.5 but the top does slip on much easier with the lube. I think I should have used it on my old wetsuit. /they do go on without the lube but it strains the stitched joints.
    But yeah, my son got an Omer...closed cell? I'm not up on all this terminology.....and it's almost sticky inside. Mine isn't like that.
    My wife says as long as it fits nice and tight.....she likes it..... <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">
    Hopefully I'll see how it looks with some red mixed in with the camo tomorrow.

    Reminds me of that Hawaiian comedian back in the 70s telling a joke about that body surfing break on the north side of Ala Moana channel. Point Panics. "...was 90 feet.....and glassy....".

    Life sucks right now. I have a broken right pinky and probably will go diving this weekend but not sure if I'll shoot any fish over 2 lbs. If I grab it wrong, I'll bend the shit out of my finger and make the healing even longer.
    BUT, I just received my new Spetton Hexskin and it's calling to me...."Hhhhhaaaaaannnk.....take me divinnnnng". SO, I need to see how the hell you put this thing on ! I know I'm going to need to lube it and went out and bought a couple liters of conditioner today.
    Does anyone have any videos of a naked lady putting one of these on? I would appreciate anyone's input but watching a nice, naked lady do it would be more fun. Help a wounded brother out here.....


    and preferably a more mature.....maybe even best if she's Latina.... lady who doesn't shave it bald....

    Welcome. Post pics and all kinds of fishing lies. <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

    NIce fish. Did you shoot that on the bottom? You're good. I would most likely have ruined a slip tip trying that.

    I can't imagine mackeral sushi being good, the texture is far too mushy


    When I'm cleaning ceros, I have a bowl with soy sauce and wasabi right there.
    My wife calls me "John Crow", the Belizean name for buzzard.


    I also make ceviche out of mackerel. Maybe 11 years in the Philippines made me less picky about fish eating. ??
