Late and quick spearfishing report...Soldier Key

Went out this past weekend with crew out for a spearfishing adventure around Soldier Key, Boca Chica area. Viz was decent in most areas, about 10-15' seas were 2-3's with some "wake me up" 4's for good measure! Current wasn't to bad, but pushing somewhat, a new moon is on the way so that will soon change to ripping, give or take. We hit a few spearfishing holes in and around Soldier Key and Boca Chica, from 15'-40' and found fish in most of the houses, nothing too notable, but hey a nice day out on the ocean with friends and a cooler full of fish (picture shows half the story as a nother of the mates parted with half the bounty) is nothing to be complainin' bout.

Well actually one thing was quite notable I finished my son's enclosed track, carbon/teak euro gun its a 2 (5/8) banded 115cm gun, the finished dimension is thinner than a quarter (25 centavos, that is), with 5 wraps the shaft sizzled off the gun with room to punch... WOW, just WOW for now, report to follow.

Till next spearfishing report, tight bands, straight shafts, and smooooooooth triggers!

Spearfishing Report, Blackpoint

We headed out of Blackpoint Marina for another spearfishing adventure this Saturday. Although the weather was nice low winds under 5mph, seas were suppose to be below 2's and were closer to 2-3's with some 4's in the mix. We headed outa Blackpoint Marina and out thru Sands Cut for some spearfishing. We were met with HORRIBLE viz in most places was about 5' and in others about 10' generally not the ideal for spearfishing, but murky water is what was served and so thats what we ended up spearfishing in. We ran around a few spearfishing wayponts we had recently aquired around the Boca Chica, Soldier Key, Sands Cut area and did alright. One of the spearfishing spots off of Sands Cut had about 12 hog snapper hovering around this one rock. We definitely had to work for each fish as all the spearfishing was done stalking the bottom...pretty taxing in 50' of water but we managed to spear some fish including a 19" hog (plus a few others in the 15-18" range) and a nice 29" black I shot thru a hole on the other side of a boulder, that was the last drop and a nice finale to our Blackpoint spearfishing adventure!

On another note if and when I get some pictures from a fellow spearfishing mate (errr,ummm, won't mention any names) I'll post another spearfishing report out of a great new spearfishing spot we discovered.

Till next spearfishing report, tight bands, straight shafts, and smooooooooth triggers!
