I got into spearfishing last year, and just found this forum this summer. What a great sport. I've been fishing with a cressi star 70 pneumatic, but my Mako 110 came in the mail today. Too many missed opportunities with a little gun.

So now, how does one find open water fish? The area we fish has wahoo in the deep water, but what do you do to bring them to you?

Those are all different snappers. They all start to look the same after a while. Check out the tail on the first one, though.

Hi Infinity, welcome to db.
Looks like you have some idyllic fishing where you live!
 
The area we fish has wahoo in the deep water, but what do you do to bring them to you? Quote;infintysail/

Wahoo are a easy fish to shoot and will approach within 10' feet if you do a little 20' dive. Some times they cruise at 10 to 25fsw. Make sure your gear is up to the task, I use full break away to my float. Shooting them is easy, stopping them can be a challenge. Your area has some big ones.
Welcome to the forum mate.
Cheers, Don Paul

Welcome infinitysail. Nice fish. I shoot dogs quite a bit here in Belize too.
Regarding wahoo:
The hard part for me has been finding them. I've seen one in the water but too far for a shot.
I hear that you need to find the "highway" that they routinely pass through. ?? I need a map for that highway. Plus, I have to get a couple guys together to go,...which isn't easy here if I want to go right after a full moon and it's during the week.
One guy drives the boat and the other two drift along with a flasher and chum?
Man, you make it sound so easy, Don. hah. Come on down to Belize and I'll take you out every day for a week this Dec or Jan.
