The Spanish Mackerel you see in the vid is Scomberomorus commerson http://www.fishbase.org/summary/Speciessummary.php?id=121 not the same as our little Scomberomorous maculatus http://indian-river.fl.us/fishing/fish/mackspan.html Although similar hunting styles may work for both fish.

Now I know where you got the idea that you need a 130cm gun to take them Brian. I have good success with mackerels, always with solid mid body shots, a 110-115cm gun does just fine.

I agree with the above. You could do alot with a smaller gun. I use a riffe x3s or something I forget what they're called. From bluewater to shoredives.

Now I have taken my seasniper 130 enclosed track on a fee shore dives and hated life. 130 is just way to long when you could get somewhat near the fish in our waters in SoFL.

When they are doing circles around me checking me out it's as easy as point and shoot.

When they freak and start swimming away ad dive down fast and take off behind them with fast smooth kicks. At some point they will slow and turn to one side for a better look at you and BAM!!!

Macks and my favorite fish to shoot.

Edit.
Ahh I see I should have watched the video first. They say the same thing I did about don't stop swimming behind them and they will turn and give you a shot.

That guys voice. I couldn't get passed the whole which gun thing.

I found a few with a Google search,

Is that it?

shouldn't there be something at a hardware store which would work also? or is that fitting not common...

3. How much time do you want commit to? ( few realize a flat hi gloss UV resistant mulit coat finish could take 20hrs or more)

What Don said.

I used a two part epoxy with 8layers on my gun it took 3days.

But it looks great! Always looks wet and hasn't/won't yellow or chip.

Using good stuff is key! It could get very costly. . .

PM sent.

What size foot/footpocket do you use?

I have a few new and used sets of fins I may want to part with.

As for advice the best starter fin for me is the Cressi 2000 and 3000's. Flat out for a great bang for your buck.
You could find them as low as $100.00before shipping charges+$20.(from a quick google search)

That sucks Aaron.

Crash them better then I fly them I guess. lol.

HEED = Helicopter Emergency Egress Device

Used for when you run out of air on SCUBA.

Also helicopter pilots use them for when they crash on the water to make it out while sinking.

did you guys do a cig test on it? not worried cos it was a shore fish?

we need to do a dive and feast together...anyone free this weekend? we can use the bbqs at the best near meade if no one wants to host it at their house...

Right when i got to shore, my girls friend took a pic. (yeah whatever I look like I'm falling asleep)

Sorry for the blackout, but I do not share that one location I spaer at.

Thats the stone shot.

Didn't take him off the spear until I got to shore as i was heading in anyways and there wasn't any other fish around.

I have a CigCheck kit but never use it. Thank (insert your god here) that i haven't gotten sick or anyone that I have given a fish to hasn't gotten sick from cuda, AJ, Permit.

Dan whats your way of checking for cig? taste a little bit of fish before you eat a bigger piece?

Another picture taken this day. This was in 2' of water, these little guys where everywhere.

Larry, the cuda you gave me was really good. I only eat breaded and fried fish. It was so thick that the slabs had that firm/soft feel. I think it was sashimi quality.

Great news Dan.

The BBQ cuda you gave us was really good my girlfriend ate most of it. That was the first time I have ever ate cuda BBQ.

It is a very nice video.

Damn nice mutton.

The cuda head?

I'm looking forward to see what results you get.
I have always wanted to do the same. Just always seemed like to much work.

How about soak in hydrogenperoxide?

Quote from LunkerBuster

cue the DAft Punk.

lol. Yeah that works also.

I was thinking more along the lines of Daniel Defence.

Yeah Hau, it feels great to hit big fish but the swim back is never fun.

Lucky me it was a short swim from the first reef. And got to show off a little with my girl along side as I took the shot.

Such badass fins. I have yet to feel sore after a dive. My average shore dive is 4-6hrs.

Lots of power, grace, without the weight.

...Stronger, Faster, Lighter...

.Larry O M. . .

Sounds good.

I was also out around 7-9am it really was a nice day flat calm seas.

Nice concept.

Also maybe the added weight out front helps with recoil.

I like how high the grip is on the bore. . .

plus it has very nice lines. . .
