  • WTB trailer

    hau,
    my thread is your thread.


    Jeff,
    thanx Ill look into it. They're gonna gimme the exact dimensions, engine type, and manuf.. tomorrow.

  • WTB trailer

    Its 9'. Heavy SOB huh? Yeah, hes aware. Could you buy a 33' 11k trailer and beef it up cheaper than buying one for this boat? Is it even doable? They're asking for a little over 6k for one made. He got the boat from a friend that couldn't afford it any longer. It's down in the keys in the water and he needs to transport it and store it. I have a buddy that has an apartment off of Biscayne with dock space but the max length is 27 '.



    Dan,
    that's a pretty good start. By the way, I keep getting logged off after a few minutes or when I go back the main forum page.

  • WTB trailer

    Buddy of mine bought a 33' 14,000 lbs boat and needs a trailer. Anyone got a hook up. He doesn't want to be spending 5 or 6 k for trailer.


    Gracias:)

  • Kitto M6 mech now has resetting release

    Not to knock the guy(I know Kitto makes great stuff) but the finish in Jeffs pic looks pretty crappy. I don't like that screw spring thing sticking out the side. Looks more like a quick fix than a permanent finished product. Sorry if I offend.

  • Are freedivers cheap?

    They both have their pros and cons like anything else. I think if you're gonna go deep(depending on ability, over lets say, 70' or 80') or at night then SCUBA would be better. If you're diving in daytime over reef or in bluewater, then free. I think any type of stalking requires minimal noise.
    I do understand that there are guys out there that do 140' dives to spear, but I am talking mere mortals.
    Also many people get into Scuba for other reason besides spearing.(Caves, deep wrecks, pics. etc..) and sometimes spear to see what it's all about.
    As for the purity of the sport, my father couldn't do much fishing because he would get sea sick easily. So, he opted for hunting. He bow hunted mostly(purity). Do you know what his bows/arrows costs???? Does this make it less pure because he used expensive materials????

  • Tiger Woods guns

    Beautiful Gun.
    Did you guys read the other post that got deleted about Tiger Woods? Quick question, do any of you guys really care about what gun he uses, how deep he goes, or what fish he shoots? I don't. With the $$ he has you can just bet the answer would be "whatever he wants".It would be great if he came in here and shared his experiences but that would be about it. It would even be better if he somehow became a spokesperson for this sport. God knows we need it. There are unbelievable spearos all around us and I don't see people going Gaga over how deep or what gun they use. Anyhow, sorry for the blabber.

  • Pancake mix for frying fillets

    You don't drink beer?:crazy: Yes, beer batter is flour and beer with salt pepper and whatever other seasoning you like. It's the original English Fish N' Chips batter. 1 1/2 cups flour 12 ounce beer and seasoning. Good stuff.

  • Sea Sniper Guns

    What's the dimension of the stock for the euro x 110 cm? Is there a formula as to how much larger(L x W) the stock should be as you increase power(band)

  • Chumming

    I think the whole smell/oil thing has something to do with it, but I think the fact that they're both predators has more. Maybe it's like being able to eat something you don't usually get at the dinner table. Also, Bonito works well for sharks too.

  • Chumming

    Quote from Rolo

    When I used to live down south, I used to chum whenever I could. Most of the time, I would just drop a block of chum in a chum net with a 2LB weight and have enough rope to just have it hover about 5-10 feet off the reef. For spearfishing, I do not receommend to just tie a chum net to the back of the boat and put a chum block out. The current takes most of it away and does not attract much of the bottom fish. Another good chumming method is to thaw out a few blocks of chum, add sand and oats. Mix well and compress into balls and drop off the side of the boat on a given spot. Works very well and my buddy has done it with huge success down in the keys. You can save some lobster heads and fill them up with the chum/oat/sand and drop them down, great for the muttons.


    All this being said, I hate chumming on my boat. It makes the rinsing much more cumbersome and some of that crap gets into every crack and crevice in the boat. I also have not chummed up here in PSL, with sub par viz and huge sharks roaming around, it is not a good idea.


    One things I still do and always done is to freeze all the fish carcasses after filleting and dump them in the ocean the next time out. I don't really do this for chumming, but to give it back to the ocean and not have the waste management personnel dislike picking up my garbage. This can work well sometimes by bringing in some pelagics or jacks that are attracted to the skin of the fish floating downward.



    Rolo,
    I agree whole heartedly. It would be great to clean all of your fish out in the ocean before coming in.
    Dan,
    my grandfather use to tell me stories about using lobster as bait all the time( Large Cubera and Groupers etc.. ).
