Spearo in Ottawa, Canada (hunting in Quebec)

[Apneaddict]

Here's a purpose-built "St. Lawrence Walleye" speargun.

LOL... omg, i cant believe it actually works! a lil massive for my liking. anyways, about the get together probably late june some time... im temporarily out of service since early april due to a fractured sternum and a broken rib.

 

[Apneaddict]

Ouch!!

Sorry to hear that. Yeah - broken sternums and fractured ribs generally make a large, deep inhale a touch uncomfortable.

Then, you have to deal with the pressure of depth!

You'll have to take your time, no other option.

Well, I finally received all my gear in the mail. Still haven't gotten in the water yet but the wetsuit fits great - (big thanks to Apneaddict for the heads up on Aqualand... very pleased with the price, service and quality) and all the gear works like its supposed to.

Should be able to get in the water this week and get a comfortable with my gear so I'm ready for that get-together whenver you guys are.

Cheers,

Schlergs

Hi all,

Are you guys still meeting? I also live in the Ottawa area, grew up in Greece but only started
freediving since last summer so I would consider myself a beginner. I would really love to start spearfishing as well.

 

[Ontario Climber]

I'm a beginner too man, it is all good , hunted over 20 years with a bow on the dry, first season underwater

Hehe, that's great!

I'm about to order a proper wetsuit for Canadian waters (apneaddict sold me to aqualand too). I also need a gun and I'll be ready to go but of course that means I'll have to wait a few weeks. If you guys meet above the water sometime though, I'd really love to join you.

You can also consider a pole spear. No sure if the walleye will let you get within 5-6 ft though.

Thanks, I'll think about it, although it seems to me that a gun would be easier for a first-time spearfisher?

check out Mako predator 2g guns, wow is all I can say, for the price and service/quality , they are really good,

Thanks! Ok, I'm here. What specs should I consider for the kinds of waters and fish I may find here (and given that this would be my first gun, if that changes things).

 

[Ontario Climber]

I got a 70cm twin 16mm band, open muzzle gun with a mini sharkfin shaft, killer set up for freshwater
