I don't grunt often maybe on rocky bottoms..but on sandy bottoms i like to dig in the sand and get a hand full of sand and throw it up..the mutton's specially will turn around and come see what is for dinner...lots of iron for them , grouper and all kind of snappers get curious.

I've thrown up sand after spooking hogfish out and they left the area for 5 mins. When i came back, there he was, eating out of the spot where I messed the sand up!

I watched wet dreams it's like some high school ignorant spearfishing dvd....Im lookin forward to search of some of the names you gave me Dan..some seriusly spearfishing...Dan Its true what you said about wet dreams...

so 130 will be for bluewater?

I have had luck periodically in getting Red Snapper to turn back towards me (when they had been moving away) by scratching in the sand with my knife or spearpoint. The snapper I get in this area almost always have crabs and mantis shrimp in their bellies, so maybe there's a connection.

Hey guys. During your Aspetto and you're lying on the bottom, or just cruising around, do you grunt or do any calls to call in fish?

I was out there today and messing around and did some deep grunts and some small hogs came in lol

I got my technisub micromask like a week ago. I havent tried it because of the bad weather untlil today. Its truly a super low volume mask. Its so close to your eyes even my eyelash touch the glass sometimes. Its comfortable and designed for our needs in freediving/spearfishing.With a couple of toothpaste treatment never fogged. For people with a large face i dont think it will fit. Its really a little mask, it almost fit in my cressi gara 2000 footpocket..Im lookin forward tu buy an omer or riffe mask but in some long time haha,im turning into a gear slut i think its a disease....haha...
P.D=you must shave to use the micromask or it will leak a litlle under the nose...but no problem.

I did the band holes in stages.

(1) Shape the internal blank and cut straight holes through it (these holes form the bottoms of the finished band holes).

(2) wrap over 1/4" of carbon around the muzzle area of the blank using both uni and biaxial fabric and sleeves. If you look in the photos you can see that the muzzle area is a little wider than the "regular" forward part of the gun. This is due to the extra carbon around the muzzle area.

(3) Plane top of muzzle area back down to height of track using jointer.

(4) Drill angled holes through the carbon that tie into the horizontal holes using mill.

(5) Cut band change access slots using sliding table jig on table saw.

(6) Shape mouth of holes for band lay and to remove sharp surfaces using dremel and hand sanding.

Weight fully rigged with 3/8" shaft will be right around 16 pounds.

Yes the handle and line anchor will be pinned.

i dont think i can be a comercial diver...WTF!.....look at the size of that grouper and no spearing!!! and im studying to be a marine baiologist and still carry my gun f#%* it....

it look really nice...

Here are a few progress pictures on Keith Love's tuna gun. He won last year's Louisiana Freedive Tournament - beat me out with a couple 1 pound mahi's - who me bitter? . Na, just giving Keith a little grief. I had promised to make a gun for the winner so here it is.

72" tuna gun
5/16, 11/32 or 3/8" shaft
6 bands
Not a single screw

Left to do:
Handle and bottom line release
Line anchor
Shooting line groove in muzzle

The carbon at the muzzle is over 1/4" thick and the band holes don't go straight through, they start high and dip down below the shaft and come back up on the other side. The hole farthest back is a little lower. Since that band is loaded first it serves as a platform helping to keep the others in-line.

The track is black G10 - big thanks to 3DPro for the heads up on this material. It is perfect for this type of fabrication because it can be glued in place and its thermal expansion the same as the carbon, unlike other plastics which must be allowed to move independently of the rest of the gun.
