FINALLY got out today
The sky was perfect, the sea was flat, the wind was low and the water was a warm 79F. Only slight problem was the viz was CRAP like I expected. I stayed out there until I started hallucinating shootable fish. Then I gave up and paddled in, only to discover ANOTHER great part about todays spearin. The beach was COVERED with beach buns. :bouncinboobs:

Built 7--thanks for the heads up brother :toast2:

Nate--let me know if i can help sir.

Built 7--welcome sir. Hope you like it here as much as I do.
I have learned a lot on this forum and have met some great people here.
Glad to have you here

Today was another good weather surprise, but not as good as yesterday and the viz was less today also. I didn't have much time or viz so I just stayed on the 1st reef and didn't see any shootable fish today. I was still happy to just be able to be in the water <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
The conditions started getting worse shortly after I hit the beach as the waves and wind picked up.

cww-- I do not know Orlando area stores, but I can hook u up here in Miami/Ft. Lauderdale sir <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
I have a couple bike shops that sponser me that have nice selection of gear here in Miami/Ft. Lauderdale.
May I suggest that when you are in Orlando that you drive west on route 50 to Clearmont Florida which is the eastern US triatholete training center. Less than a 30min drive from Orlando and try to ride up Surgarloaf Mountain
Please let me know if I can help further

If you listened to NOAA you fuc-ed up today <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">
I looked out the back door and the sea was FLAT, FLAT
Seems like everyone else read NOAA also, so I was all alone out there AND even had viz
Lucked out an got a 15" an 16" hog and one 32" mac
I was just very happy to get out today
I LOVE my Pursuit 3mm. This is my 3rd year with the same suit.

Brother spearos--I'll not be posting any spearin reports for a little bit, as I was hit by a car yesterday while I was doing my 6mile triathlon training run. Putmeincoach is doing an excellent job with his conditions reports AND pictures. I'll post again as soon as I'm back in the water in a week or so.
Be safe out there.
(PS--is safer spearin than running down the street)

Viz was much better today but threatening weather conditions kept me in shallow water an I only saw 1 shootable fish all day. With this mornings sub 70f temperature I was GLAD to have a 3mm suit
So I got one 28in mack, but two big rottweilers ate my fish before I could get it home <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">

mrmike--same here bro
I plan on training right through the winter. I even bought a tri swimming specific wetsuit a couple days ago.
I did my bike ride late yesterday evening and my 6mi run after dark last night. Both bike an run was at a heart rate of 155-160 an the weather was so cool (64F) that I barely broke a sweat <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

cww--congrats sir:toast2:
1:08 is a VERY respectable time

I guess my 2011 race season is over. There is no more Multirace Triathlons until the spring here in Miami. A couple GFs asked why there r no races till spring and I replied that wintertime is Triathlete breeding season an we need to get "busy" :bed: <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 year was my first season doing triathlons. I did 7 sprint triathlons and took one 3rd place, four 2nd places and two 1st places and was awarded Broward County Champion 2011. So I am now hooked on yet another sport beside spearin. Today I was up at 630am, in the water spearin at 730 till noon, then to Oleta Park and did a 49min 1.25mile ocean swim, then to Weston to do a 30mi 22mph avg bike ride, then back to Hollywood to do a 6mi run.

Is amazing that the sea can change so radically. For the last several days we were havin near hurricane conditions an this morning at 7am there was blue sky and FLAT seas.
Lots of bugs on the reefs, as several yak spearos limited out in short time this morning.
Today I switched to my 3mm open cell suit and did not get hot. Several other yak spearos did the same. You don't NEED a suit yet, but after 4 1/2hours in the water today, I was still very comfortable. I love my Pursuit 3mm 2pc camo open cell
I lucked out an got 1 hog, but he was not as big as putmeincoach's hog. Good job in the crap viz today sir I was just happy to be back in the sea.

Solo today on a near perfect yak freedive spearfishing day.
Not many boats out either
Say a real nice hog but he had been shot at MANY time before and wouldn't let me get within 30f
Did find 2 other lesser hogs that were not as educated and 1 mac that was just too curious.
I had no jellies where I was today
