Hello I'm Johnny,

From LA California new at spear fishing with harpoon, wet suit and all the gear. Grew up in Mazatlan by the ocean spearfishing with a stick and a rubber band. Looking to spend more time on the water catching fish. You guys have a great group here thanks for all the useful information read lots before joining the forum.

Hello Frenzyfinder,

Thanks for the reply, and yes running metal which bones, got a Seac 75cm. I'm having a hard time loading in the water, but just found some videos with loading techniques that I'm trying next week. The suit also makes me little uncomfortable is a 3.5 mm I never used a suit for surfing but the water is cold here in California defiantly a must to fish safely.

I just shot my gun for the first time today running metal wishbones. I had no trouble loading the metal wishbones. I did have one of the bands snap before I loaded it all the way back. Eeeewk! They are 10 year old bands sitting in a garage though lol.

I will be going with dyneema wishbones eventually. Will have to change my shaft though:/

Welcomes from the north johnny, glad to see another Californian on here. I hear ventura and La Jolla are superb spearing spots down in your area. I hope to make it out there for yellow tail and maybe spiny lobster thus season. Anyways glad to have you on board
