South of Port Everglades today
begin at 830am--------end at 530pm
wind from N at 5mph---from NE at 8mph
current 1mph from N to S--N to S at 1/2mph
viz 55f in 55fsw--------35f in 35fsw
seas less than 2f-------flat
water temp 70F
54F cloudless-----72F cloudless

OMG today was a better weather day than yesterday
I only got 2 fish in 9hours in the water, but the weather made it well worth it AND there were beach buns this morning at 54F
Only thing that could have been better was to have more viz and more fish.
I saw turtles, nurse sharks, manOwars, moray eels, ospreys, big jacks (for my zone), rays, etc, etc.

I am computer challenged.
Can someone please post a step by step instruction on how to post an iphone picture here on FreediveSpearfishing ?
Thank you in advance

49F with cloudless-----70F 10% cloudless

The worst part of today was that it was too cold for beach buns.
Today was the best weekend spearin day we have had in a long time
The sea was almost flat all day, the sky was cloudless and the wind was low.
There were very few boats on the water for some reason and very few race boats.
I got 4 hogs and 2 macs and saw a school of kings pass me out at the edge of my viz.

If u missed spearin off S Florida today, u missed a stellar day.

I lucked out and got 2 hogs before the viz shut down

Adrian--the Omer 95 ET is a short, light weight gun compared to the Mako ETR and my Tin Man /RA ETPG.
So a true comparison is not really possible as the Mako is more of a heavy weight 2 -3 band physically bigger gun than the Tin Man ET, and the Omer is only 95cm and shots a 6.75mm spear. That said, the Omer is a real pleasure in the water. It has NO muzzle flip on firing, floats perfectly flat on the surface with the spear out and is almost weightless in the water and neutral bouyant with the spear in and a full spool of line on the Omer 50 reel. I prefer a round barrel pipe/rail gun, so the tracking is not perfect for me with the cuttlefish shaped barrel of the Omer. You can swim for hours holding the Omer by the handle if you wanted, the balance is that near perfect in the water.
I will write more as I get more time in the water with the Omer.
Let me know if I can help further.

PS-- I'll try to post pictures of the Omer 95 ET, but a youtube search of the Omer Cayman ET might be faster considering my computer skills

Today started out cold and almost clear sky with 35f viz
Then it clouded up a little and did not really warm up as much as I had hoped, but the sea state remained good till noon.
I only got 2 hogs and a mac today, but saw several fishing boats working outside the 3rd reef. Maybe some fish are starting to come into the third reef or so in the next few days :pray:

Went out today hoping that it would get better but it stayed rough all day.
Still not many fish on the shallow reef but I lucked out and found 2 hogs in 4 hours of swimming.:)

mrmike--sometimes it may seem like I get a lot of fish, but that is because I am lucky to be able to spend 4 to 8 hours a day in the water. This day I spend 4 hours in the water for 2 under 20in hogs.

Now that is a picture to put away and keep for a lifetime
(nice gun with kill spike btw)

Another day of crap viz
Everything else was perfect and I hated to come to shore, but the viz sucked again today.
The viz has been so bad lately that I have learned better how to hunt the macs in the poor viz and got a 30in and a 32in one today <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

Sea and weather today was great EXCEPT there was only 15f of viz everywhere I went
I paddled out to 50fsw hoping the water would be clearer and ended swimming back in to 20fsw and doing drops every 15min as I swam in.
At 20fsw I could just begin to see the bottom from the surface.
On one of the random drops I just lucked out and dropped down through the snow right on top of a 20in hog. He saw me just a fraction of a second after I saw him. He rolled over on his side to eyeball me just as I squeezed the trigger and pinned him to the bottom

Got to meet Proulox07 and his spearin buddies today. Welcome to South Florrida :toast2:
Again not many fish to be found on the 2nd reef. I spent 5 1/2 hours in the water for 2 hogs an 1 mac. Saw 2 little sea turtles and a moray eel today.
