Went back to the beach for the weekend and didn't log in but here are all the repplies.
The gun is a Master America 115. I shoot these palometas with one band and 7mm shaft.
The fish are delicious, but I don't fry them as I believe it takes the taste away, almost any fried fish tastes the same. I like my fish grilled whole, that way you can get all the meat out. If they are filleted lots of meat remains behind. If you are a big eater you can eat probably a large one or at the most two smaller ones, they have lots of meat in them.
Well, on this last trip I had a couple of days to go diving, on the first one I wentfishing with my father first, and after catching 3 sailfish I decided to go into the water with the third sailfish to set it free, but found out I had forgotten my fins, so all my fishing planning torwards the diving spot were ruined.
Following day I went straight to the diving spot, and just as I entered the water found a huge wahoo swimming torwards me, but the gun was unloaded.
Remained in the water a few minutes and a small wahoo came along and joined us for some sushi. I missed a couple of shots at some nice sized wahoos and then spotted a couple of dorados, just at my vision limit. Remained still and a few seconds latter we had dorado filets to go with the sushi.
The water was as clear as possible, with visibility at over 60 feet and the pinnacle was full of fish. I saw about 8 very large wahoos in the 40Lbs and one very large one at around 60Lbs. There was a large group of rays swimming under me that I could almost touch and swam in between them several times, a huge school of jacks of at least 300, another larger school of a fish that looks just like a barracuda, but I'm told there are no barracudas in the pacific, but they all were at least 3 - 4+ feet long each and the school was at least 400 strong.
When I got back I was showing the speargun to a cousin and found that the shaft was bent down a little bit, so then I understood why I was shooting the wahoo low, even when the fish were not too far away.
I was not able to spend enough time in the water because father was not catching much fish with line and live bait. Will have to wait a few weekends to go again.
