Hello Everyone,
I am a new member and also new to spearfishing. I tried spearfishing last weekend for the first time and am now (hooked on it). I used a Sea Hornet gun and really liked it. I will mostly be spearfishing in the Florida gulf and around Fla. and Ga. coast lines when I go. I know most of the spearfishing will be done on reef and wreck dives. My question "What will be the best universal gun to use on these dives?" I don't want to end up having different kinds of guns for different dive sights. I am clueless to gun types, rubbers, and shafts. One thing that I am certain of is I love spearfishing and can't wait to go again. I am a 225 lb. healthy male and should have no problems loading a gun. I would just like to have a good idea of a good accurate and dependable gun.
The gun I used was shooting the fish in the gills or just plain missing them. I am not blaming the gun by far. Like I said that was my first time spearfishing and I know I will be needing alot more practice. I did get a grouper and a trigger fish by the end of the dive. I just needed to get used to the gun. First time I used one.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
THANKS
