Dan--naa, they knew exactly what I meant when I said "field testing spearfishing equipment for Pursuit.

Kyle c--YES you have to have a PFD on a yak.
I use a SOS just like the FWC guys that stopped me were wearing
"To be completely legal you SHOULD be WEARING your PFD Mr. Hau"

You can buy one here:

Dan--On tape I told FWC that I was "field testing spearing equipment for Persuit Spearfishing Company"
Hope they do not edit out that part

Today I was in the movies
FWC motored up to me on the 1st reef with 2 camera men with heavy duty movie cameras running. They requested that I hoist anchor and tie up along side their FWC boat while they SEARCHED my yak They looked in every bag and down inside both my yak hatches. I had to produce: FL DL, FL fishing lis, life jacket, horn and boat size flag. I had to pull my fish out of my yak cooler and then HAND them my cooler. All the time this search was going on i was hanging onto the side of their boat and the two cameras kept running. Finally after 20min or so they were satisfied and let me cast off. Not sure they did such a complete search for the cameras or they really thought they would find something wrong
After they were done I asked for a vessel inspection sticker <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 swam all day an only got 2 macs, 1 hog and 1 dog

beach/yak spearos---I would caution anyone about near shore conditions.
During this blowing weather I have been riding my bicycle up and down the coast.
I know that most spearos are good swimmers.
I talked with several LG from 77th up to Dania Pier.
They ALL report "numerous" rescues of swimmers and surfers within that zone due to high surf and rip currents over the last 6-7 days. These saves generally do not get reported, as near drownings are "bad for the tourist business".
Hope this helps

fishingdude---you are welcome bro.
You know me, just trying to help other spearos anyway I can.
Good luck with the yak AND school.
You're good peeps and I know how you love spearin in warm/clear water.
I would hate to see you have to leave

here is another OK 13 for $400. asking price
hope this helps

mrmike---I didn't say I don't like the OK Prowler 13
Maybe you thought OK meant " just ok"
To many of us OK stands for Ocean Kayak (my favorite yak manuf,)
Sorry I wasn't clear
Maybe I was wrong, but IMO this looked like a good deal for someone looking for a 13-14' yak
