Scott, sdeisen, Rhodyhunter an me at Dania today
We were greatly surprised by the 40f viz
All the conditions were great today with one small exception, which was that we couldn't find the fish
Scott got a hog, Rhodyhunter was "educating hogfish", I was taking a terrible toll on the massive porgies on the reef and sdeisen was doin his "death from above" approach.
Today was a beautiful day on the water with good friends doin what we like best

thanks sdeisen

Don Paul--Thank you sir. I correctly just assumed you of all spearos here would understand and appreciate the spearo Rosary :toast2:

damn I look old :hau:
I'm gonna go view and contemplate the "psychological acceptance of death" thread <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">

Hope this helps

Solo at Dania today
today is a beautiful day with lots of warm sunshine, blue sky an smooth water
I got 2 hogs, 2 porgies and a dog is all
I had another porgie but the "New Thief on the Reef" stole it off my spear
First we had to worry about the sharks takin our fish, then after they outlawed huntin Jewfish it was the Jewfish that will steal our speared fish. Now it is the grouper that have no fear of a spearo. I had at least 1 and sometimes 3-4 grouper follow me the whole time I was spearin today. Everytime I fired my gun the grouper would come flyin. Once today I didn't get my porgie up fast enough and a grouper tore it off my spear :@
And some won't give up and follow the speared fish almost all the way to the surface
The hogs are in the sand AND on top of the reef today but there is not many around that are legal size.
Hope this helps

LOMartin--what are the chances that that anhinga would pick exactly where I was spearing to hunt also?
I mean he had the whole ocean but he chose to hunt where my little blue yak was.
Maybe he was stealing my GPS numbers <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">

Me an sdeisen where gettin ready to push out into the water, I looked up an saw sdeisen with his arms out welcoming the sunrise. I told him to not move till I got the picture
I am thankful for every day spearin and sdeisen expressed it perfectly.

Today was another great day to be yak freedivingspearfishing in Miami :attack2: :fish:

Dan--thanks for researching and posting such a nice picture of an anhinga

Quote from monster slayer

Life is going to kill us eventually, but not without a damn good fight. I have already won, what happens next is just stamp collecting. There is just one thing that I fear more than death and its being old and weak, I rather dying shitting in my pants fighting a huge predator or a heavy surf, than literally dying old shitting in my pants for no reason at all. Just saying

100% in agreement with you sir. 100%

Spent the whole day spearing solo for 9 1/2 hours
Only got 5 hogs an a bag of porgies and dogs and etc
Today was a dark and cold day in the water as it rained almost all day
Had a 12inch turtle swim up to me and look at himself in my mask lenses The young turtles are fun to watch in the water and their colors are so new looking.
Had an anhinga swim below me and scatter every fish on the reef as he darted around trying to catch a fish. I rarely see them out in open water.
Today was a good day to be out in the water.

Viz restricted where we could hunt today. We had wanted to go deeper but couldn't see. We got skunked today an got nothing. Again today the viz shut down to almost nothing an we just came in empty handed. Still had a good time out on the water though.

Alan---nice fish bro

Another NOAA "SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 3 PM EDT THIS AFTERNOON" forecast for today, but in real life today was a near perfect yak freedivingspearfishing day
Had an aprox 26f power boat speed between me an my yak today :@
Lots of beach buns out today <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

sdeisen and I at Meade St today
the sea today was beautiful.
The forecast "SMALL CRAFT SHOULD EXERCISE CAUTION" kept a lot of weekend boaters off the water
But was like a circus with almost every type of diver in the water including boat divers on the first reef, Brownie divers with boats, Brownie divers without boats, yak divers, shore divers, divers with surf boards, on an on.
sdeisen got a nice hog or two. I got 3 hogs an several small dogs
I looked over one time an sdeisen was crawling around on top of the Hobie on his hands and knees. I told him if the Hobie was a foot longer he could walk around <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 was impressed at how clear the water was already
today was a very relaxing, enjoyable day of yak freedivingspearfishing

attan---Ya Mon. It is actually much easier to cut an alum barrel using the exact same steps as cutting down a CF barrel.
Let me know if I can help further.

Viz restricted where I could hunt today. I had wanted to go deeper but couldn't see.
I almost didn't go out cause the weather was marginal and "SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT"
Sea is flat at the shore and gets rougher the further you go out with this West wind so I stayed within 1/2 mi of shore and therefore had no viz
Today is NOT the day to loose your paddle with this much West wind. :@
Glad my "scupper gives u wings"
I did get one fish AND lots of beach buns siteings

I"m hoping the RIB team did better today

RhodyHunter--you are 100% correct about the gauze AND the granules.

Thanks Alan
