First spearing in the salty stuff

[unirdna]

My trip to the bahamas wasn't all sunsets and blackouts. I also got to do some spearing. Guns are illegal, so you gotta use slings or poles. I bought a JBL travel pole spear. Maintaining my usual form, I got it the day before I left, and had no time to practice :hmm . Nevertheless, I got the hang of it pretty quickly. We only needed a couple fish for dinner, and Conner (cdavis) was kind enough to let a few shots go by so that I could snag the food. Additionally, Connor cleaned and cooked. What a deal! I still have a lot to learn about sea hunting. Thank goodness I didn't have to face any sharks. That would be just too much for a guy's first time out .

The roe looks delicious

He got the hang of it all right. Picks a weapon that is not the most effective in that water, never shot a salt water fish, never had a pole gun in his hand, doesn't know how to do a "correct" approach on these species and he still slides right up to the fish and blows'em away. I was impressed. Shooting crappie must be real good preparation.

I think that's the fish after being fried, not the roe. Good going.

Hey, positive karma for showing what fish are really for!
