when I dive in deeper spots I plan to put it underneath my dive flag that has a foam underneath & it's attach to the boat. The only thing bad about that is the current. If all else fails I will swim back to the boat and throw it over board. simple as that

yea yea......he likes to talk smack.....he should respect his elders......he's been doing this for 8 or so months now, and loves the fish stringer....i think maybe he saw one too many euro spearing videos.....don't think he's seen the one where an eel goes for the fish on the stringer and gets a thigh instead......aya el compadre

Anywho maybe my bud would be down to take his boat to the keys that weekend, I <3 the keys .

What is this I hear I like to talk smack? in regards too? ok let's get this clear narizon! You are using an RA as your what, 5th or 6th gun? Meaning it took you about what 6 long years to some what realize what a good product is. Oh I’m sorry I guess I inspired you to get an RA when you saw me handing you that nice cubera that got destroyed by just 1 band. Nariz simmer down; don’t worry about me getting eaten by a shark with my stringer. I know where and when to use my stringer. PS. Why don’t you let me have your mares Cyrano?

steel porque no hiciste el stringer que estaba en el video?

Re: Miami Spearin' Contest

Primero........wannabe bleach character - pajarasco.......yea, it's my 6th gun......for what particular reason? Perhaps because I've always admired the bigger band guns, but never had the money to purchase one - last time I checked, they're much pricier than the typical economic air gun.......yea 6 long years......6 long years of which I was never foolish enough to carry a stringer on my waist.....case in point = youtube......and as for what inspired me finally...I had some cash (ask Alain) if I had more, I'd have foregone the RA and gone straight for a Riffe.......but like you said, 6 long years.....6 long years of info and technique bud .....si lo quieres comprar te lo vendo.....but u gotta replace the orings, piston is pristine, so is the cylinder......

Re: Miami Spearin' Contest

mira narizon! let me tell you something when you come to the drastic conclusion that people with stringers on their waist are "foolish". 60% of spearos wear their stringers on their belts 2nd not once have I had my stringer on my belt just like I haven't invested on the economic guns that you so much praised! the problem here is that you went over 5 guns to realize something I'm pretty sure if you add at least 3 of those guns you would have by now have a pretty long riffe. Oh i forgot to mention you just stated that every 1 who wears a stringer here is "foolish" lol PS: Steel wears one...

gracias but I don't want to buy that gun, now if you have no use for it( & I know you dont), I'll take . Otherwise, you can keep your broken gun.

When it comes to this activity there isn't much technique.... I see people who do this for survival means.. so plz spare me all your years of techniques and w.e you may have to add to that.

Re: Miami Spearin' Contest

Ahhh the lovers quarrel......Do you guys work in Lolitas Peluqueria en la ocho y flale...Seriously though all the more reason to settle this in the water...Remember the thread MIAMI SPEARIN' CONTEST....nooo dudes this has gun from school to B-days to trips to the keys to guns to narizes, pajaritos & pajarascos, to farters and stringers...ahhh yes the stringer...indeed I wear it on my belt tried switching over to a speed stringer, then to fish on the float, but after that I cycled back to the fish on my waist...old habits diehard I guess. The best advice I can give a new Spearo is to never try the fish on the waist, go straight to fish on the float, generally IMPO its the "habit" one has that steers you towards thinking its better...I can't stand bringing in my float to attach a fish I always end up with one tangle or another...truthfully for 20+years I either stuffed them in my RG or strung them on...and it has always worked fine, 'cept for a itsy problema I had with a weemoray, but we're all good now. After I got a few fish on a take over to the ice box, empty and repeat, then repeat again

So whatup with this contest whatya guys think...any input?

Re: Miami Spearin' Contest

Oye Mandy......mira, primero, I only ever bought 3 of my guns, new, and never retail......not such a bad deal to me......second, there is technique to it......and there are certainly standards, particularly the art of going after cuberas that are more than 12"..........oh yes, and not being an abusador......If u want to brag about how many cuberas u catch when we go out, by all means go on ahead - never seen u take a pic with them however (hmmmm, that's right 6 barely legal fish and one decent one don't make for a very good photo).....third, steel may use a stringer, and be cool with it.....but as he openly admonished - if ur getting into the sport take up the habit of using a float......did he say something about an eel? yea, that's right......wanna step back to technique for sec? I challenge u to approach any seasoned spearo and say there's no technique, you'd be the laughing stock of the conversation.....now perhaps there isn't that much technique in shooting baby cuberas but is little armandito gonna go for anything more challenging? Show me this weekend bro......as for "sparing you all my years" dude, ur head is so up in the clouds u forget half the crud that comes out of ur mouth......everytime we go fishing, u got something to say about one method, approach, detail, or whatever it may be concerning spearing - It begs the question as to who should spare who......I never even talk about technique, or breathing methods with u cause everyone practices differently - difference between us bud - psychologically, u need some sort of reassurance to continue on spearing the way u do - how do u get it? oh right, u talk to others and stand ur ground on a certain belief u have - there's a wide gap between someone who is dedicated to their belief, and someone dedicated to a course of action bud....stand ur ground man - cool, didn't say not to, just don't initiate a convo with me then get into an argument.....I have more important things to take care of than a debate with u....oye, do me a favor, save the kid stuff for real life papo - the forums aren't for this......

And steel, I'd love to do the tourney......already spoke to Mandy though, couple of nights ago he says he doesn't want to......

Re: Miami Spearin' Contest

Ok, SO LETS GET BACK on track here....enough Back&Fourth BS...step away from the keyboard and think for a few minutes how we gonna do this...Ideally best time is a weekday (less traffic) but if that don't work out then we'll do a weekend...If the headcount is low then what we could do is reduce the area to make it a bit more challenging and a bit more personal

Quote:
I dunknow...objective really is to get a few Florida guys together share some laughs, tips, competitiveness, and comradship. Guess it would be something like an entry fee, a given area say Gov. Cut north to Haulover Cut from one set time to another weigh in time...it could be for most pounds of Fish- one species each max 3 in cooler, or biggest fish (I'm planning on starting a Fish of the Month Thread...so the contest could revolve around this Fish....one only with max of 3 of same in the cooler...as an example)...the winner takes the pot (the $$$ dude the $$$) or a prize...if its a prize then we leave the $$ the grand prize (this idea would be pretty qool if we do the fish of the month thing...in other words

We have a fish of the month contest entry... 3 of same fish max, enter biggest fish you shot...winner takes a prize, $$ to pot
Next month new fish...repeat and so forth...then the final contest one of each of the fish...only one in cooler, only one can be entered, must have one of each fish...the one with most #'s total fish wins the $$$$$, or one of my guns...nah

Just thinking outloud, but its a start...what do you guys think
Mahi's idea on the Elliot trip/contest is also good...but that should be a contest in and of itself...LET ME HEAR SOME INPUT
