Thanks for the compliments friends.For 4 months Im on a cardio training and dieting myself.Im 44 years old,180 cm and was 93.3 kg.After this 4month now I'm 73.3 kg.These things help to improve my performance ,I think.Now I can do 2:15 aspettos at 18 mt.,last year only 1:30 at 13 mt.By the help of this difference,and also by the guidance of the forum(also my static PB came to 4:45)this summer I could see and catch more and bigger dentices.
This fish came after a long aspetto at 13 mt. and turn lateral and began to go laterally and examine and look to me very curiously app. 5 mt. away.I just hold the gun and after the shot it was on the spear,not on the dynema.Instantly and very quickly I hold the spear with the fish and noticed that I have dropped my snorkel but find after 10 minutes.

Aydin check your PM

Are Dentex very hard to catch? I remembered my first ever spearfishing boat trip, I was able to land this 20 kg pargo (dentex?) and was told that only professional spearfishermen gets them (what the heck is a professional spearfisherman?) I told the guide an avid spearo that this one must have been sleeping because I wa able to get on top of it at about 80 feet of water and it did not move an inch until I hit it right on top of the head with a JBL explorer (not a very good gun for a fast fish that stays away). The fish went wild after that and after about 5 minutes i was able to put him on my peixe porta on the boogie board. I never seen let alone caught another one for the rest of my stay in the Acores.

The Pargo you are talking about is a Cubera Snapper if i am not mistaken.

Yes they are hard to catch and they are well known for their gear wrecking abilities.

The Dentex is a hard fish to catch too but there are days when they are easier to shoot than others. Still trying to find out why this is.

Hello Shane,
After pressing the autocapture button of my camera I have put the camera on my car and show the fish to the camera,its a kind of trick the fish looks greater than its original size, 2.1 kg. You can find the other photos at

Dentex in December its so surprising but I have just catched the bigger ones this year.
In the first weeks of december basses begin normally,so I have prepared my equipment Shoulder weight ,etc, as usually in bass hunting.I did not see any tail for 3 hours,there were no basses due to the south winds the sea temp. was 17-18 C.Then I have decided to search my deep spots,to look for orata or sargos.

At 13 mt.s with my extra weights at my shoulder ,after a 1:30 minute aspetto i decided to ascend but i saw the head at 15-20 mt. away.But she moved very quickly to me , so in 2 seconds she was passing in front of my spear tip.Very close shot,damn I must have your camera Shane.... In one second she moved violently to the nearest rock and entered a small hole and came out 2 mt. away from another hole. I was ascending and also watching the vigourous movements,after breathing 15 seconds I dived with my knife (just like Dapiran hah hah) and finished the suicidal case.I have cut also the dynema and took the fish first.

My gun is a 104 cm totally laminated wood gun with two 19mm totem slings with a Dapiran 6.5 shaft.I will post the photos of my gun at the other site.
