Some fresh CATCH!!

[sanadw]

First of all ... No one should think of spearfishing in the gulf without a FULLSUIT!!!
Water is full of 2-3 meters tall JELLYFISH... and when i say FULL its like there is 5 in every square meter!!

any ways a full suit, gloves and socks is a must if you want it to be a nice day!

couple of days ago went to my fav. spot, water vis. was not bad 6-8f

saw some large size kings, speard two and lost them ... they really tear easily!! I wonder dose the hot weather and water affect there meat and skin???

both of the shots was about 3.5-4 meters with a good penetration, but no piercing!

I think I have to find a new formula for my new heavier spear!!

Right now am using 1 Omer 18mm power band with a small tear in its side

guys do you think double 16mm will give me more power or should I go for 1 20 power band??
and one thing more.... if I am using an 18mm now is the 20mm should be longer!!!??? that what i read in a spearfishing site!!??
I thought it should be shorter!!??
ps. my gun is a 100cm T20

any ways thanks for your help ... I'll leave you with the photos now!

great catch sanad,
i recommend you keep the 18mm bands, but move up to a 6.75mm spring steel shaft (riffe and omer makes hem)instead of the 6.5mm, you will be amazed at the results..slightly heavier has a lot more punch and is stil light enough to be a very fast spear, you cold also use them with 20mm but i found no need to so far...

Thanks Marwan for the tip... I allready have a a S. steel shaft 6.75 didn't try it yet ....
Tonight will modify the gun using the new shaft and the 20mm rubber (I don't think the 18mm will give it enough speed)
OmerSub using the same shaft with double 18mm they said it become like a sniper gun

we will test our new digital cam. tomorrow tooo.... So guys be ready some real cool stuff is coming!!

Cuda .... man where the hell you get these ideas from!!!! loooool
next time take you G.F. with you (or put one of them in her glass!!)
and the best thing its FREE

Now after a month or so the jellyfish will start to do more nasty things here... its a mating way or something ... they will joing together in huge groups (maybe a gangbang style or something ) I heard that when they group this way they become really fatal!!! I don't know... and I don't want to!!!

Sara ... Do whale sharks eat jelly!!??? I never heard something like that b4!!!!

i think.... planktons and shrimps!!!!

[island_sands]

along with the jellies were tiny babies, millions of them.. that's all plankton and edibles too

Sanad, try the 18m rubbers first, trust me they will have enough speed ( i shot a very big variety with this setup on my omer 100 carbonium) and the added advantage of being easier to load, if you feel differently try the 20's...

OK marwan I will try the 18 first .... if you try it and it worked for you then why not .. will do so today .... and will let you know.
as for the loading since I added the rubber butt (flipflop) .... life become easy!
