Alberta Spearfishing Rig

[DeepRN]

If we are seriously considering trying to find some halibut (and I sincerely hope we do), a break-away spear line would be a good idea. That way you just swim up with your weapon and let the halibut take the spear/float. I don't have one, but it looks like a relatively simple/inexpensive setup. A few spearguns with this rig could be beneficial.

Lee, my sis just got back from Princeville! Where abouts on Kauai were you? She had a lot to say about watching the humpbacks in the bay. It's her (and her husband's) second trip there & they're considering making it home at some point.

BTW, halibut/rockfish/cod sashimi could be very nice

Hey Gabe,

I agree that a break-away would be a good idea for the halibut. I almost bought one for last year for them and did in fact buy the large double barbed tip specifically thinking of halibut, to hold better in a ballistic run. The breakaway rig is actually not that much cash, so I will look into it.

We were on the south shore of Kauai (Poipu) for the first week and the second week we were North shore in Princeville. Both amazing. The north end was great hiking and scenery, but many days the water conditions for shore diving were quite harsh - still coming out of winter. Because of this, I ended up driving a couple days down to the south end for diving during the second week.
