  • Whats the best open muzzle?

    Drakon - Yes, I made them. Delrin is a very forgiving material to work with. A little sand paper and steel wool will smooth out just about anything, and some extra-fine steel wool will give it a nice satin shine.

  • Whats the best open muzzle?

    Dan - I charge the same $45 price for the 2-hole muzzles with the spike, or for the 3-holed muzzles without the spike. I think I have only made one or two 3-holed muzzles with the spike. Usually, I list them all as $50 including Priority Mail shipping.

  • GoPro HD Underwater Blurry Fix

    Sign me up Dan.


    For a while now I've been wanting to shoot some video, if only to show my kids what it looks like down there. Shoot me a PM with the total and paypal details? I want the little tripod adapter also, if that doesn't come with the standard package.

    Hi chris. We all share your affliction



    You are talking about granny porn right??


    I thought it was clear that this addiction we share is to the cowboy emoticon

  • medidas measures

    I'll have to double check, but I think my hybrid is 62" long in total. 31" of wood, and 31" of tube and muzzle. The stock is pretty close to 2-1/2" square.

  • Rattling shock cord

    I may not be following you, but can't the loop of the bungie attach to the loop of the mono shooting line with a smiple lark's head? I guess it depends on how often and how quickly you need to disengage the bungie from the shooting line.

  • Rattling shock cord

    Reverse it? What happens if you put the pig tail (or snap swivel) at the point where the bungie attachest to the muzzle, instead of at the shooting line? It would probably be a little more difficult to install / remove, but probably not prohibitively so. If need be, you could attach a very short loop of line to the line anchor, then attach the pigtail to that.

  • Just got back from a cruise!

    In Cococay we never ventured deeper than 10' (stupid rules for beach diving and really there was no need). Overall a great cruise with some outstanding snorkeling.


    Cococay had literally dozens of 16+" mutton snapper everywhere!! the first one I found (in 5' of water) was probably 26" and I followed it to a deeper area (maybe 10') and found a school of 14-18" muttons hanging out around a sunken beach chair - also found a lobster under the beach chair. then later we say mutton that was probably pushing 30"!!!!!! Biggest one I've ever seen and none of them were skittish at all - clearly nobody spearfishes over there. I just couldn't believe that such large fish were in such shallow water and had absolutely no fear of people!

    Fish lowlights: We saw a lot of lionfish in both Cozumel and Cococay, I am happy to report that any lionfish we found on the dive trip in Cozumel was killed. The tour guides there bring small kabob skewers with rubber bands to spear the lionfish and placed them in a 5 gallon bucket. In Cococay I didn't see as many but also had no way to kill the ones that we found. Lots of jellyfish in all dive locations, found out the hard way my g/f is allergic to jellyfish stings which kept her out of the water in Cococay.


    Coco Cay, previously Little Stirrup Cay, is owned by RCCL. I've stayed on Great Harbour Cay just to the SE many times. I'm not really surprised that you saw those nice muttons there as most people don't go over there to spear or fish near that island due to it being private and the cruise people don't like it when you get close. I'm curious if where you saw the fish was inside that little bay on the north side of the island or if it was more towards the western tip.


    Anyways once you get away from that island and put a spear in your hand, I can assure you the muttons aren't that dumb. I believe the best one I got from that area was about 11lbs and it took 4-5 dives before he let me get close enough for a solid shot.


    Also the lionfish over there on the reef are out of control. Diving the reef to the SW of Coco Cay we saw 5+ lionfish on every coral head. Killed plenty of them, but its pretty discouraging to see such quantities everywhere.



    Sounds like a good trip even though you didn't get to kill anything.

  • Effect of tides on spearfishing

    The tides make a big difference inshore where I hunt, but that is primarily because they dramatically affect the visibility and my ability to find and hold position on the small wrecks. I don't know if the fish care much, except that they seem to stay inside the wrecks a little more when the tide is still.
