Third reef viz not quite good enough so I had to come in to the 2nd and only saw and got 1 smaller hog.
Today was a very relaxing day in the water with no waves and no current 
putmeincoach was just getting there as I left, i'm sure he thinned the bug population 
Marco--I'll put some BUTT pictures up the next day I'm off work
10-17-10 edit per Marco request
lunkerBuster---THAT schedule is NOT public knowledge, for obvious reasons sir.

No ladies with me today so I was back to killin fish
Tried to start on the third reef, but no sooner than I got there and was getting ready for my first drop and the sub tender came over and requested that I leave the area
Plan B--I went in to the second reef into a heavely hunted area and did not expect to see much fish but ended with 3 hogs, one ok mutton and one LARGE (for me) 29inch mutton (I love big STUPID good tastin fish)
On the way in I met putmeincoach on the first reef with his brand new OK Trident Prowler destroyin the bug population

No fish died today, BUTT I got to spend 3 hours in the water with THREE bikini clad ladies that wanted to yak/freedive the first reef with me 
Bikini clad females make WAY better students
We had a great morning with near perfect yak/freediving conditions and only lost one snorkel.
I think they enjoyed the day as much as I did, because they booked ANOTHER day with me "for more lessons". 
fishindude---VERY NICE job on the bugs sir.
Hope everyone got rested up and got their gear ready, because: "fish r gonna die"

The good part was that I got to get out spearin with blue sky, gentle breeze, warm water, warm air and an exciting yak surf ride back into a beach with surf girl beach buns <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
The LG said that the H&L guys on the pier had caught a 5-6f shark and that he had seen sharks working up and down the near shore break. I talked to Scott Rapp and he said that he had spotted sharks up in his zone this morning also.
We are hoping that tomorrows viz is better than todays :attack2:

And thanks for posting the pictures for me
Don Paul--- as soon as I saw XP100 I thought exactly the same thing.
I used to shoot an XP100 in IHMSA" back in the day". <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
XP100--welcome to the best freedivingspearfishing forum there is.
LunkerBuster--U got a PM bro.
I failed trying to post the pictures.
I'm sure anyone is more computer literate than me.
Sorry
spearos---the ETPG is NOW a REALITY.
Mako is now taking orders by phone and shipping ETPGs in 3 colors and 110 to 140 lengths
LunkerBuster---I have the same white 2 hole Tin Man muzzle with spike on my RA 120 Carbon.
I just pulled it off the rack and looked. It is not cracked or rusted as in your picture.
I have seriously abused my white one by stabbing a shark or two AND a 6ft moray and firing at least two .357 rounds while testing the Pursuit PPDs.
IMO, I now realize that white may NOT the best color for a muzzle BECAUSE white shows every imperfection as your pictures illustrate
Unless I am mistaken, we REQUESTED Tin Man to manufacture white muzzles for us to test.
I like you am not the least concerned about the structural intergrety of our white muzzles
(By the way, those are some very high quality pictures, thank you)
Tin Man--is the Delrin or nylon available in clear ?
I would love to have several Tin Man 2 and now 3 band clear muzzles with spikes.
Thanks Jeff <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
spearos---I'm glad that I got to spear yesterday, cause this forecast is Bul* Shi* :angry5:
