Most storage places don't allow you to do significant work to your boat. Read rules etc. carefully.

I have a 120cm Mako enclosed track railgun for sale. Gun is in practically new condition and was only used on a few dives. Comes with a 20mm band, bungie, loading pad, open muzzle, one single wrap mono rigged shaft and two unrigged extra shafts. All shafts have three high profile shark fin tabs and flopper tips. Two were used very lightly and have a little of the coating missing from the tip but are perfectly sharp and straight, and one is brand new.
Selling gun and shafts together as described for $380 shipped in lower 48.
Will sell gun/shafts separate, make offer...

Will they be the same 1/2" width as typical mechs, or do they need to be a bit wider? It makes things a lot easier for the average guy if the mech width matches the diameter of a commonly available router bit (like 1/2"). That's one of the things that makes the Alexander mech (~0.470" wide) a bit harder to install.

exactly Roberto...
They are trying to make inferences about spearfishing by studying an artisinal fishery (with questionable methods) and then saying that could be applied to other fisheries. This is completely bogus as their are vast differences between an artisinal fishery and fisheries of developed countries. The fish in each are subjected to different kinds of pressures and human interaction.
-
I believe there was quite a few holes poked in that study.
While I may share the same restraint when choosing the size of hogfish to harvest, I believe this should be my choice and that the limits should be based off what is sustainable.
I also don't think you can make comparisons between Gulf coast and East coast. The environment is completely different. There is and entirely different set of parameters that governs the populations (food availability, quality, size, water temp, available habitat, red tides and other environmental events....etc etc etc). Most reef fish in my opinion should be regionally managed.

Here's the paper: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com…23-1739.2010.01613.x/full
After reading it, seems to me like they just tested the fish's response to seeing scuba divers.Their surveys were conducted with a scuba diver without a speargun in an area where spearfishing is done while freediving.
SR: Were those hogfish numbers based off Ault's studies?

If the butt pad is the same rubber stopper material that I have used, then I don't find epoxy to bond well. In the past, I have superglued the rubber to a piece of ABS plastic, and screwed the plastic to the gun. But Wood Guy showed me a recent gun where he adhered the but pad directly to the wood, and it seemed well attached. I think he said it was a Permatex adhesive.

out of town this weekend.

Judah sorry i wasn't able to make it out there man... I went out really late with some friends and there was no way I could have woken up and dove hungover that morning lol. I'm out of town this weekend, but keep me in the loop. I wanna spearBQ! maybe at Shallow Runner's new place <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

Absolutely beautiful work. Is the handle carved wood, or some other material?

Yes, volume is a cubic function. But an inch of length is an inch of length regardless of the diameter. The RATIO between the volume (and therefore weight) of two shafts (of the same length) is proportional to diameter squared, not diameter cubed.
-
. . . weight is proportional to the diameter ratio in the power of 3 . . .
How? I thought area was PI x radius squared?

Report from today:
Viz sucked! <20ft in 40fsw. Top to bottom in 15fsw lol. Me and my buddy covered A LOT of ground today exploring a lot of new locations. The usual spots were all picked really clean as it is late in the season, but we were able to wrangle a few bugs out. Right before going in, we spotted two hogs one male one female. We got both of them. One was 14" and the male was 18.5". A really nice hog for the depth we were at!
Ended the day with 7 bugs, lots of work for them though. Last week we pulled 12 bugs out of the same areas.
-
Well the viz sucked today. The bugs were scarce, and the hogs were few and far between.
Only managed one nice hog 18.5" and 7 bugs after covering A LOT of ground. The viz was <20ft in 40fsw
I'm down for whatever Judah, let me know what the plans are! I've got some bugs from today to throw in for the BBQ!
-
The water has warmed up enough that I switched to my 3mm Pursuit blue camo top and 3mm Pursuit camo bottoms and dropped 2lbs off my weight belt.(I love that suit Dan)
Got 2 hogs and 1 mac today.Hau I made the mistake of jumping in with my 1.5mm mako last wednesday. Oh man that was a mistake! I thought since the water is 76degrees that I would be fine, but within 2 hours I was freezing! Definitely still using my 3mm until it gets a lot warmer!
-
Judah, I'm heading out tomorrow. will post a report. Most of it will be bugging before the season ends, then I can focus on those hogs again <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
But, I did see two shootable hogs last wednesday when I went. Also got a double limit of lobster for the boat
-
let me know what day. Im down for either
