Another stellar conditions yak spearin day.
Me, Scott and Ismail out on the 2nd reef and later joined by the mermaid:0
I got a dozen or so reef fish, nothing really good, missed a smaller mac and saw 3 sharks. 1 6f bull, 1 8f hammer and 1 9f nurse shark [aprox sizes as I did not measure any:)]
We would have done better but the viz was so good that you could see the bigger fish bugging out of the area 60-70f away:( The other day I saw a big ghost of a fish bugging out of view and started chasing it. I finned just hard enough to keep the ghost in view and gradually got close enough to the fleeing fish to see that it was a great big hog. I continued to fin at a speed that gradually let me get parallel to the hog but he just kept swimming and when I realized he wasn't going to let me get any closer i dropped from the surface and he turned on the afterburners and was gone. There is a reason that some big hogs get so big
Today I shot down through a squid into the reef and got my slip tube stuck in the coral. Ismail swam over and dove down and got it free from the reef. Thanks Ismail

WOW those are some nice fish.
Congratulations

pargo---I never saw a turtle that big! His shell was as long as my RA120:0
He didn't think my spear poking his shell was sexy

av001---I'm waiting for my photo guru [greekdiver] to write me back before I buy an UW camera.
You may rue the day I do get the camera because you may get tired of looking at all the pictures I'm gonna post. PLUS, you will see what a poor shot I really am

What an awesome yak spearin day
Ismail and I started on the 1st reef and got a few reef fish before Ismail had to leave to go to work.
After he left I went out to the 2nd reef and started slayin fish
I had the biggest turtle I have ever seen come right up to me repeatedly. His head was as big as mine:0
He just kept coming at me until I was forced to poke his shell with my spear. He swam off a little and turned and came at me again and again until he got tired of me poking his shell:0
At one time I had 4 hogs under me and had to pick one. I shot it and the others were still there and I shot some of them
I got hogs, muttons, porgeys and others.
More later, as I have to go clean fish and get ready for spearin tomorrow at 930 with the mermaid and Scott

pargo---I like the suit. I dive with a hood year round. I would want the blue camo if available.
Is it too early for a price list?
What is the price of the complete PARGO freediving package of mask, fins, shorkel, suit and gun please?

pargo---you are right, I should have milked it more

If the mermaid wants to start hunting with us I may have to outfit her with gear before I buy an UW camera
One problem is that she is a natural in the water and it wouldn't be long before she was outshooting other spearos.

Here is a fun true story from 5-5-9.
I saw a hog down in the sand at aprox 30f. I waited tilk the hog was acting just right and then I dropped on him. When I shot, I hit him in the belly and the shaft actually came out his belly. The hog started to swim back down onto the sand and it was obviouse that he was dieing. I yelled to the mermaid who swam over to me. I handed her my gun, breathed up and dropped on the hog fish that was just barely alive. I eased up to the hog and grabbed it fast with both hands just as it made one last dying wiggle. I had the hog in both hands and swam to the surface. When I broke the surface with the hog the mermaids eyes were bugged out as all she saw was me swim down and grab the hog with my bare hands. She was not around when I shot the hog and thought that I had just caught the hog with my bare hands. I said to her, "See, you don't even need a speargun to get these stupid hog fish".

stevo---
1. I got a witness. Scott is my witness
2. Nice new avitar you got there.
3. You should have seen our new mermaid sunbathing on my yak (I need a bigger boat)
4. Both Scott AND the mermaid witnessed me catching a 20in hog with my bare hands, just ask Scott

at Dania Pier Beach again today

The brotherhood is broken. Me and Scott were joined by a mermaid the whole dive
Met a yak lady in the parking lot who went out to the 1st reef with us and stayed with us the whole dive,she even held my gun and sunbathed on my yak:0
I lucked out and got a dozen reef fish and Scott got fish also.
I will write more later about todays events.

I use the Aqua Lung Technisub.
I have and do own a lot of masks but the Techisub is my favorite.
An example is that I thought I wanted to try another of my masks last week and took out a new Cressi Suprocchio the other day. I put the Cressi on and jumped off the yak, swam around the front then the back of the yak and then back onto the yak to get my Technisub mask. I was amazed how much the Cressi limited my vision compared to my Technisub. The immediate comparison between the two masks made me realize how much more I saw with the Technisub. I can easily look down to see my weights and to see my belt knife sheath to replsace my knife in its holder on my belt. I am almost sure that this Technisub mask has enabled me to see a lot more fish out of my pererfiral vision.
This is just my opinion and I do not shoot big fish:)

Edit---I have 2 or 3 of the Aqua Lung Technisub masks if anyone local wants to borrow one to try it out for a dive or two.

Me and Scott went out to the first reef after fixing my pick-up. Thanks Scott for standing by
The only reason that today was do-able was because we hadn't been in the water since 4-23 or so.
The beach surf was a little high going out and good and high coming back in. We lost no gear
Scott got a porgy and I got a grunt. That is all we saw all day in the crap viz and high seas.
Scott got to try out his new Riffe fins
Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
"We had a good time, that's all that matters"JLB:)

I plan on being out early tomorrow. LunkerBuster and friend will be there at around 11am
