Default Anyone doing any spearing Mar 13 or 14?

So, barring lost luggage or not finding a house or something beyond my control, I would like to get the speargun wet that weekend. If no one is going out I was just going to hit up the old pier.

1) How do find it without a GPS? I saw someone had posted that you walk out from some building but I can't find that post.

2) How deep is it?

If anyone else is going out on a short (and shallow) freediving trip, let me know. Depending on the size of my bag that's on it's way I may or may not have my scuba stuff with me.

Yeah, I am thinking it would be a good warm up round. Do you have info on it? Depth, etc. Any good fish that you have seen on there?

Noone can predict the weather that far in advance. But remember the old saying "the Ides of March" It will be windy mosty likely. If the water is somewhat clear go to Fort Pikins for a nice shore dive. (No spearfishing there).

Perfect, just what I was looking for.

So what gives down there? I just got my new Riffe in and have been pouring over Terry Mass' book, about to jump out of my skin if I don't get in the water soon, and this morning I hear on NPR that you guys got SNOW last night? We don't even have snow on the ground here right now. Ya'll need to turn on the heat before I get down there!

CLAY-DOH baby!!!

I have been searching for a BCD, something better than my starter BCD. Ive seen you guys work, your set ups and what might work for me. So I have set off to find me a Hog Harness, BPSS, and Donut set up. Problem withthis is I have never even put one on my virgin shoulders. Im understanding bouyancy more and more with each dive and article I read. My buddies I dive with on the rivers told me to try something else, and they werent sure if I would like a harness set up, Im guessing they had never used one either. So..... This week I found something....

Looking at initial cost in the harness setup and me wanting a speargun.... I found a Zeagle Ranger. On Scubaboard there was a listingin the classifieds for a Zeagle, listed at $500.00...... well when I found it he has already dropped it and dropped it down to 250.00 shipped TYD. So I contacted and called the guy. He said it has only been dove 5 times... and today it arrived at my house and I can assure you it hasnt been dove 6 times! Its brand new! Toss in a Strobe/Light and a dive knife. I am tickle pink like Josh Gays tanks! I just upgraded!
