small craft advisory for today but beach cams looked good=good day yak/spearin
Scott Rapp met me at the beach:)
stayed warm today by wearing 3 layers of rubber
got 1 16in hog and missed a mack, lost my $25. watch, had a sailboat race go right through
where I was hunting within talking distance of me, 25-30 sailboats. I sat on the yak case they
didn't see me. Yak surfed back to the beach

pargo--that would be great to go spearin with you
I just gave a boogy board away last week to fishingdude
please to PM, email, call me anytime you want to go

goin out this am, anyone interested please contact me at haujohnson@gmail.com

TurboRon----is your Perceptions a sit in? or sit on please?
Let me know if I can help you get your yak set up for yak/spearin.
I found a small anchor on 1-11 if you want it for your yak you can have it free.

So the water is going to be cold like this for another month or 2 at least?
Is there a web site that might give me the history of monthly water tempatures here in Miami/Ft. Lauderdale please?
Thank you.

Back in the day I had a Bluetick by the name of Cannonball. I could tell what was going on in his chase by listening to the way he was 'talkin'. Funny how we remember some things. That was 35yrs ago and I still remember his name and can hear him talkin in my mind.

spearos---I need some help. I am getting cold in the water with my 3mm suit and wanted to know if I should buy another suit or not.
This is my first winter up here in Miami and want to know if the water is going to get colder than it is now and/or when does the water start to get warmer. I am old and like to stay in the water for 5-6 hours. I am using a 3mm suit and using a hooded vest over that now and still getting cold after only 2-3 hours in the water.
Thank you for your advise.

av001,
Great, thank you for the advice.
15fsw, Guess maybe the answer for me to finding more fish is spots less hunted.:)
Thank you

av001,
"limited out in 1 hour" Very nice. Congratulations.
1.How deep were you diving please?
I get the impression that the reason I do not see many fish is
because I am hunting in too shallow water. I would love
to find a "target rich environment" like that.
2.Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and congratulations.

had to go to my LDS first for 2 new arrows as I sold my lucky arrow to flamencoguru yesterday on the high seas so he could hunt the rest of the day, bad weather coming tomorrow? so I wanted to
get out first, 1 16 in hog only. Beautiful yak/spearin day.

TurboRon,
Please come join me/us anytime. We would be honored for you to join us. Our goal is to get out together and have a good time. We do not get many fish. We do not get big fishes but we dive cheap [$5. parking], we dive often and we have a good time together doing what we love to do. So far we haven't really found a good producing spot for beach/yak/spearin but we will soon as not much gets past out 6-8 spearo search line It is also much safer spearin as a group

thanks seaweed

pargo--the rest of the teamwork came in when flamencoguru lost his RA shaft early in the hunt and before I went in to shore I sold him my RA shaft and enough line off my reel so he could hunt the rest of the day.
He was very happy to hunt again:) Now I have to go buy another shaft tomorrow or so. Well worth it as he later got a nice hog. He may ask to join here.

Those are some nice lookin fish. Congratulations!
Like he said, nice shot placement.
Is that your favorite reel you have talked about? Looks very interesting.
Again, congratulations and thanks for the help.

Had a great day with spearos Scott Rapp and friend, fishingdude,yaudon, flamencoguru
and LunkerBuster. I had to quit early and they were still slayin the fish:) I don't know what all
they got, hopefully they will all tell their fish stories I did a hail Mary shot at a passing big cero, saw him
flash once and then he was out of sight and line started going off my reel He must had been almost to the end of my double wrap RA130[aprox 25f from the gun tip] when I hit him as the shaft did not come out the other side of him. The hit was good and he was hurt bad but I could not put any tension on the line for fear of him tearing off. I yelled for help and Scott swam towards me. I yelled 'shoot him, shoot him 'and Scott put a perfect shot through the cero and I was able to get a hand in the ceros throat. The cero measured 34inches. We
couldn't believe the whole event I might have lost the cero without Scotts perfect shot:)
A great day with good spearos doing what we love to do. Thanks to all

Several of us are meeting at Dania pier tomorrow [1-11-9] at 0830. Any and all are invited. We mainly use yaks but 1-2 may boogy board. We have extra boards and maybe extra yak seat. We freedive spearfish 20-40fsw. Weather is posted to be good, 2f or less, light winds. Again any and all are invited. If you need more info please PM me or others or email me at haujphnson@gmail.com
This is not a spearin tourniment!

HeadHunter561 on SB was run over by a boat today. The trauma surgeon has amputated BOTH legs off below the knees in an effort to save Rob Murphy.
I know Rob. He is only 26 and loves to scuba spearfish. This is tragic.
We pray that he will live.
We pray for his family.

seaweed,--That is exactly what it was
I just kept going South to stay ahead of the crap yellow viz wall.
Thanks for the great correct answer. I'll keep an eye on the tide
times from now on when I go there.
Thank you

Great video.
Nice fish.
65fsw with 2:30 surface interval:0 I'd want 2hour 30min interval, or a tank.
Great job greekdiver!

best day hunting yet. got 1 20in trigger, 1 16 and 1 18in hog. Saw a big fat 6f green eel,
3 different nurse sharks, 2 turtles and lots of short fish. Viz went bad half way through the dive.
The viz change was like a wall coming down current. I could swim into and out of the viz change like going through a curtain that was going South. The viz change was so pronounced that I thought a cruise or container ship had dumped before going into the harbor:0 I never saw anything like that before.
