Me and another yak freedive spearo out onto the 2nd reef looking for clear water and fish. We found no clear water and few fish.
Today was beautiful though, with perfect above water conditions.
I got 1 porgey and one sheep and he got a couple fish also.

Today was another very nice yak freedive spearfishing day with perfect blue sky, almost flat seas and little current all day.
The water has warmed up enough that I switched to my 3mm Pursuit blue camo top and 3mm Pursuit camo bottoms and dropped 2lbs off my weight belt.(I love that suit Dan)
Got 2 hogs and 1 mac today.

Short spearin day today due to work and adjusting the yak rack on my truck for the 2 Scuppers
More spearing and fishing boats out today so I just took it easy, not expecting to get much fish.
Saw a NICE mutton, but he was WAY too gun shy.
Saw one ManOwar and one hog as soon as I jumped in, dodged the ManOwar and the hog was only like 16in or so I let her keep feeding. But I had no mercy on a 34in mac that swam in to check me out <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
Tons of beach buns today

Saw no hogs but lucked out on two macs that got a little too curious <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
Again the viz started dropping before noon and the current went up to 1 1/2mph
I'm liking this Daylight Savings

Dan--my new scupper pro is snow white and has WAY less scratches on it than my old blue one.
Both are the 2 hatch model scupper pros.
Until now, my spare yak was the blue Hobie Adventure, but it is a 16f yak and is also heavier than the Scupper Pros. My gf is 124lbs and the Hobie was a little too big for her to handle on rougher and windier seas. There was no way she was gonna ride MY Scupper and me the Hobie, so I have been looking for another Scupper for a long time for her to use. I found this snow white one last week and have been hau modifying it just like my blue Scupper. The Hobie was a good yak for the 3 mile paddle/peddle out to the reefs in the Keys, but is just not needed for the 1-1 1/2mi reefs here in Broward.
I still have the Hobie as a back-up and in-case I get injured and cannot paddle the Scupper. The Hobie has the peddle drive.

behslayer--those are some beautiful guns you make sir. I love your gun lines and wood finish :hail1:

japsw--I have used the Omer 1.5mm for years in s. Florida and loved it till I switched to the Real Sea 1mm 2 years ago.
Hope this helps

Masterofscience--To answer your question, I use 3mm THICK gloves year round, even when using my LiquidImage 322. It is NO problem what so ever.

Warning--do not buy the "old style" Scuba Series Liquid Image model 320 or 321, I had one and returned it to corporte offices after a very short time in the water with it. I returned it because the image quality sucked.
Liquid Image has since sent me the "new model" Scuba Series model 322. Make sure it is the 322 or 323. The 322 is the medium size and the 323 is the large size mask cam. There are many important change between the 320 and the 322 series mask cams that make the 322 a way better mask cam, IMHO. I have logged many hours in the water with the 322 already.
Let me know if I can help further.

Tin Man--This is my big chance to give you a little something in return for all you have done for me and spearing.
I have a Humminbird PiranhaMAX 215 Portable complete with instructions, transducer and original box and an 8AA battery holder from Radio Shack (size of a cigarette pack) that I can ship to you if you want it. This is the set up I was using last year on my yak and it works great. I mounted the 8AA onto the back of the 215 and the whole unit complete is a very compact 5 1/2H X 5 W X 3in front to back including battery pack. I put this into a see through dry bag and just run the transducer wire out the top.
I can ship it to you if you want it.
Hope this helps

Another near perfect yak freediving spearfishing day
I could see the reflections of the condos on the surface of the sea
Viz was lower than I had hoped but the clear sky, lack of waves and warm air
made up for the lack of viz and lack of fish.
A school of 20-30 macs swam around me, I dropped into the middle of them and shot a 35in one.
If u missed spearin today, u missed an epic yak freedive spearin weekend day
