Hello to all spearfisher and freediver, i'm Vincent from Corsica, i'm 29 years old and i do spearfishing since i'm fifteen.
Sorry for my english, i will do my best.
 
Hello, slt,
I'm spearing in Bretagne. what is your location in Corsica? Are you from there?
regards
 
Hello Ovalo, i'm in the south of Corsica, i leave in Porticcio.
And yes i'm born in Corsica.
 
Slt,
Vs prenez les mêmes espèces que sur la côte d'azur en Corse ?
A+
 
Thanks Salehthefish.

I'm actualy looking for info on Esperasub speargun (i'm interested by Kaikas 120), someone can give me advice about this brand ?
 
Hello,

I did some search about Esperasub but finaly i think i just found my next gun yesterday, that will be a Carbontek CT 120.

Here the link to this speargun : " CARBONTEK

It's a spanish speargun, it looks like the Abellan Denton but with the possibility to use it with 3 bands, is there anybody on this forum who tryed one ?
 
Hello,
Last year in september i finaly get my Carbontek CT 120 but i didn't get time to use it last year.
Now i'm ready for the Dentex, yesterday i put three 17.5mm bands on it, just need to go to water.

Some pics of the CT120 :

Hello Devondave, yes Corsica can be a nice place for the spearfisher, try it for a trip :friday
 
Hello Vincent,

Nice gun, did u get any fish with it? is the handle part of the wood, or is another part ? the handle looks very ergonomics

What are the two other guns with some pulleys at the end?

regards
 
Hello Ovalo,
I did only 2 or 3 shots with the CT120 last years, just to try it with the old setup 3x16 bands, i get it to late only in september and didn't get time to spearfish, with 3x16 shoot was without recoil, this year i will try 3x17.5 with 7.5 shaft to see if that work.

The handle is the same of the Abelan's or Dapiran's, you can get it separately of the gun on Carbontek website in some colors, yes they are really ergonomic.

The two small spearguns are "Mini roller" 60 and 75 from Seatec, i just get them this week so i don't know if they work good or not for me, i will try.
This guns are the Airone model improve by a roller head, the handle is like the omer HF with reverse trigger mech.

I hope they have the power of small pneumatic guns with better trigger sensibility, originals shafts are bad that's the only thing i can say about them for the moment.
 
Hi Vincent,
Corsica does look an amazing place to spearfish (and freedive), we looked at a trip for the summer, maybe next to the Scandola marine reserve. Maybe next year...
Are there any places you would particularly reccomend for holidays?
Actually Corsica looks like an amazing place to spend time doing lots of things, walking, cycling etc too :)
 
Hello Jonny250, you will love Corsica for natural sport, in summer the bad thing is there are a lot of turists, so that not so wild but if you go to Scandola you will see a fantastic reserve, in less than 10 meters of deep there are all the Corsican species.

Near Scandola you can go to Porto, Piana, Calvi in a few miles you will think you change many time of country.

For cycling Corsica is not the best place, road are slim but for walking there are a lot of way to go, GR20 is the most celebre trip for walker, but there are other like "mare e mare" and "mare e monti" so you can walk accross all the island.

Corsica is a good place for sport and for familly, my english is too bad too explain all what you can do and have to see.

For spearfishing in Corsica in summer it's like in other island of mediterranean sea, you will have to go deep to take good fish, or to go early the morning or in the last hour of the day, fish are shy, slow to come to you and fast to go away, but they are present.
 
Hi Vincent nice looking gun but i am sorry i have no idea about it...

Hope u will get an answer soon about it...
 
Hello yesterday i tryed my guns,

There are no problem with the 3x17.5 bands + 7.5 shaft on the Carbontek, trigger mech didn't get hard and the recoil is realy light.

Here some pics of Carbontek CT120 in front of a Teak Sea Pal 120 :

After i tryed the 2 minirollers too, they are very powerfull, 60 will be allways on my board, the 75 is too much powerfull for the use i have of small guns, so i don't know what i will do with it.
The 60 shoot with more power than my standards 75 so now i think i will use only 60 mini-roller, 100 c4 and 120 carbontek for all my hunt.
 
Hello, after some month fishing with mini rollers (60-75), now i'm waiting for a bigger rollergun.
That will be an Omer HF 130 with Alemanni rollergun upgrade.
I just get the HF and bands yesterday, i hope i will get the Alemanni kit monday.

I will be back with picture when i have the kit.
 
Hello, Omer HF 130 Alemanni is ready for water :inlove
