Like Hia-Leah, I had lots of jellies and man-o-war in my zone today
It always amazes me how tough those man-o-war tenticals are as they wrap around everything. :@
Lucky for most of us that we don't have sever reactions to the man-o-wars.
My viz shut down again today, but I still lucked out and got 3 hogs

Viz was not as good as I had hoped, but I still got 3 fish and enjoyed the sun and water.
The warmer weather and water is bringing the beach buns out

Hope this helps

Today was an easy yak freediving day with low wind and seas and warm air with some sun. The water was even warmer for some reason.
I didn't see much fish but managed 2 hogs and a few reef fish

sdeisen--there r days in our lives that remain with us forever.
This day is one of those days for u
Congratulations and thanks for sharing sir.

WARNING:
Many, many manowars at Meade and Dania Pier!!
I gave up and am headed back in to shore!!
Shore diving / yak freediving at these two locations this morning is very hazardous IMO!!
I went to the 1st then 2nd and 3rd reef and all had manowars
hope this helps

geokat---welcome to THE best freedive spearfishing forum ever.
I wish that I had had a great web site like this one when I was your age and just starting out spearin.
Welcome and good hunting sir

Today was a rougher day out there with 3f seas and 14mph wind
Was at the south end of the si zone and again saw few fish.
Very few boats out.
Got 1 hog and 1 mac only.
I would have had 2 more macs but the sharks got em before I get could get the macs pulled in

Forgot to post that I FOUND A BRAND NEW POLE SPEAR on 1-31-11 at Meade St.
Looked like it had been in the water for several months but it still had the new tag on it
Please contact me with a correct discription and I'll get it back to you

LunkerBuster--thank you for posting the picture of my jack
You da man, LunkerBuster

I will attempt to follow your instructions to post my pictures from my iphone to this forum.
Thank you again

Dan--I'll take 10 foot next time I come up to the store.
Thank you for another fine product :toast2:

Adrian--I think I found the link to the Omer ETR
If you watch the video, check out the lack of muzzle flip (at 1:40) when the Omer ETR is fired
Hope this helps

http://www.omersub.com/video021.asp

As far as I know, there are no more ETRs available until the next production run. My gun is one of the very few first prototype/production ETRs in the US.
The Omer ETR will retail for aprox $550. with reel, spear and line
I cannot "loan" my ETR to you, but if you wanted to shoot it, I am available almost any morning from 8am to 1pm.
Hope this helps

You have a PM

Kolt45--More power was NEVER a reason to design the ETPG.
Adrian--thank you sir
I am in possession of a Omer ETR 95cm and have been in the water with it for 26hours.
My ETR is no longer a "stock" Omer ETR, as I have "hau modified" it
1. First thing I did was to remove all the mono shooting line, swivles, clips, etc and connect the reel line directly to the spear through the last fin hole in the spear. I have all my guns set up exactly this same way for MANY reasons.
2. Yesterday I removed the stock Omer bands (with metal wishbones) and replaced both bands with 5/8 Pursuit high performance bands and dynema wishbones and loops. This modification was a huge improvement as the ETR shoots WAY quieter, has crazy spear speed and the enclosed track top is no longer being rubbed away by the "stock" Omer metal wishbones.
3. I removed the Omer ETR loading pad. This was a no brainer for me as I have been shooting euro guns without loading pads for years (RA Vecta). The Omer ETR grip/handle with its reverse trigger is now my favorite of all my other euro guns.
4. I attached my standard 14in of mono with clip to the Omer ETR grip. I use this loop to hang my guns in the water off my yak, as a fish stringer till I can swim back to the yak to unload fish, to attach my float line to, and to run my arm through incase I need to use both hands while in the water.
My Omer ETR 95cm weighed 3lb 9oz with Omer 50 reel and 6.75mm spear BEFORE my modifications.

Thank you to everyone that has an interest in ETPG
ETPGs in different variations are now being produced and marketed by Mako and Omer so far.

Slingingsteel--I got those hogs and others on my iphone but need help to post my iphone pictures here.
