Conditions were pristine, again, T-B in most areas seas under 2', wind under 5mph, water was comfy in my shorty...saw plenty of fish, and we spearfished some new excellent waypoints in Tavernier, we had pinpointed on google...goes to show a little homework pays-off! And talk about pay-off seems nothing like shooting fish, improves ones performance, in well....shooting fish! WTG guys!
we spearfished a few nice slab mango's in the mid 20's range
the water was gin!
heres the ecletic Jimmy Philipino with a decent mule
Another sashimi grade mule and a 22' hoggy that sillied up on our last drop...Note the Fur stylin' his Picasso suit (poor boy was sweating bullets)
all in all a great time, filled a cooler of fish and made it home 'fore night time.....saweeeet!
Till next spearfishing report, tight bands, straight shafts, and smooooooooth triggers!

I've been playing around with the idea of an enclosed track Euro speargun for about 4 months now (more or less about the time my son-the Squirrel- had mentioned he wanted a Euro speargun for his B-Day) so I decided to combine some of my slim down versions of my regular enclosed track spearguns with some Euro gun concepts.
of the speargun, this resulted in a height less than 2cm (think a little under a quarter-25 cents) not including the track. I added some lead shots front and rear for ballast, the speargun sinks slowly, very slowly, horizontally with shaft, and floats vertically without. This gun tracks incredibly fast and light and feels like a gun half its size in the water. From band to fin the gun is 110/115cm, total length is 130cm, 2 bands 5/8" . The shaft is a Riffe euro 9/32. The gun has a built in shark pic which doubles as the line retainer as well. I made the muzzle with CF to provide the structural support allowing me to bore the band holes as high as possible (inline with the shaft) the space b/t shaft and bands is about 1/16", so the recoil is hardly felt, that coupled with the spearguns cuttlefish design,
lets even the wimpiest of kids (er, ummm no pun intended Squirrel ;) shoot the gun without flinching, and shaft whip is nonexistant (enclosed track). The enclosed track was not as complicated as I originally thought. To my knowledge there are no enclosed track Euro spearguns commercially produced on the market today, and very few if any gun builders have made them. For those of you who never have shot an enclosed track gun I urge you to give it a try, you'll probably never go back (same goes for wood compared to metal spearguns) I've been using graphite on most of my tracks as of late so this speargun got the graphite too...I really like the way the graphite sizzles the shaft off the track. The gun shoots to the end of 5 wraps (or 2 depends how your counting) and penetrated up to the flopper in 3/4 plywood...we took it out this weekend and it performed quite nicely (
