Dorset Spearfishing 2013

Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 90 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
Some of you may have seen this on my facebook page but for those of you that didn't, here is my new Picasso Magnum Carbon 85 which will be my main gun for this season :ko

She is loaded with a 6.5mm stainless steel shark fin spear, single 19mm boom, and more in importantly the new Go Pro "Black Edition" camera: :inloveBOOM!!

Need to name her yet any suggestions.....

Green envy mate, very nice and extremely tempted!
 
To be honest mate a lot of hassle but most enjoyable, as I said though not my chosen species and I would be quite happy to let the next swim away.

Funnily enough that's exactly what I said after I took a couple of ray last year. A lot of hassle (not difficult, but takes a long time to do and to clean up) but delicious. Your dinner looked very tasty! :p
 
Happy with the not so difficult mate only had a knee op 3 weeks ago so was happy to get in and get anything!:crutch

Yes it was very tasty, everyone enjoyed and most would like to have again:p

Nobody has volunteered to do the fillets though!!!

Would recommend with samphire as it adds salt and gives nice crunch, any idea where you can find and when you can pick some fresh?:p
 
Re: Re: Dorset Spearfishing 2013

hehe go on, you know you wanna!:)

Alan and I will be down within the next few days to get some more big picasso guns!!! And a new picasso wetty each....I'm sure we will be stocking up on other bits too.

Fantastic gear mate and even better customer service. We will look forward to doing business with you guys again.

Gunna coincide our shopping with a dip!!!

Looks very nice Camanche ,my new black edition will arive from the states in 3 weeks:t,what bracket is that you used ?,mine will go on my santy present,75 Marlin elite,whish is cuttlefish shaped ,just wondering about brackets.
 
Lee sounds great mate will join you for that dip afterwards, although I'll only last a couple of hours!!

Arrowloop its from Mako spearguns they have a few arrangements for the bracket and arm style. If I were you and you order one make sure you order two brackets as you can then swap guns really quickly. I need to order another one but the postage is as much as the bracket!

Tom, do you get mixing of the fresh water run-off with the seawater causing poor vis?
 
Ok....... for anyone interested I stocked up on some more picasso gear, so fully kitted out now.
All I can say is....wow..I am well chuffed with the build quality as usual.

So I will do the honour of furnishing you guys with some pics so you can see gor yourselves. I would highly recommend all you spearos to upgrade yor gear to picasso as I have..

Note the hood had lining around the ears to prevent suction as you get from other suits..

Did u try it on Lee??? I heared that there is some people who complain on rashes after using picasso suits. Aparently the glue may be sensitazing/allergenic but it was 2 years ago and they may have changed the glue.

I hav dived mine a few times and no rash at all. They r now made with jap neoprine rather than chinese stuff and i think they may hav chainged the glue if there was problems. All i can say about the suits now is they r awsome. Made at high quality and very flexable compared to my cressi technica . Im not slating my cressi suit as they also r a quality spear suit but my picasso suit is the suit for me. All there new gear is awsome and very well built. I have been after this gear for ages as i hav used the gear in the past with great results. Now we hav a uk distributer it makes this quality gear more avalible also givin spearos a choice in brands that can b baught in the uk without massive postage and waiting times. Winner!!
