Hey fellows,
Here is the review as promised....
I decided to do some practice with my new gun today. I went to spearing point after 15-20 minutes car drive. I parked my car 4 meter away from the sea. I grab all of my gear and locked the car. I put my car keys water proof case on float, gloves in my short's pocket, pumped float in between my legs, gun in my right hand and Long garas in left hand. This 4-5 meter distance took a minute to travel. That was funny shot of picture, fortunatelly nobody was in the coast.
It was 6pm, two hours before the sunset...
Anyway i geared up and start to swim, first 30-40 meter from the coast thw water was murky with only few meter visibility. After swimming 200-250 meter visibility became normal about 8-9 meter. But the water was still 3-4 meter deep. In east coast you have to got a boat to go to deeper. I decided to test my gun at that depth with surface hunting no diving. The water has a bit of
wave about 35-30 cm height. I know this not much but ther are more frequent and disturb a lot while aiming from surface. I thought, nice this will be a good oportunity to test the accuracy of both gun and me under uncomforatable environment.
The fishes are very few and all under 150gr . They were all spinefoot. I saw the bigger one looking directly to me from near of its cave. I was trying to make surface shoot coz the water is only 3-4 meter deep and those fishes are very shy, if you try to dive them with those longblade fins they immediately run away. Anyway i aim its head and waited the wave to pass. As soon as the pass i touched the trigger. BAM ! ! ! Just nice head shot behind the eyes. I was shocked that the trigger was so much sensitive. I liked this coz you have max 1.5 second shoot the fish after the wave pass otherwise other wave will catch you. The gun was lighter and more manuverable than old 86cm OMER. Accuracy was amazing just hit the behind eyes from 3 meter away from the tip of the gun. I kill the approximatelly 600 gr fish with my knife . I just did not want the fish to struggle and i imagine that it was a big grouper. Then i continue my way away from shore after 15-20 meter of swimming i saw the biggest fish in my life that i see underwater. Grouper was swimming 8-9 meter away from me on the bottom. I stopped and waited to see which cave it will enter. I don't know its weight but i can say about the size of it refering to rock sizes. It was probably 70-75cm ! ! !. Its head was so huge I thought woww finally i will get my first big grouper. I rushed to the cave to find it. I thought i will find it pretty easily coz the enterance of the cave was just my head sized. I dived down ( it was in 4.5-5 meter deep) i looked through the hole. Damn ! ! ! the inside of the cave was so huge and dark. I dived several times with hope to see any movement or eye reflect but there was nothing. I blamed myself coz i didn't buy the torch. Next time i will buy torch probably tommorrow... Anyway i lost my biggest fish opportunity only 4.5 meter of water:waterwork . I go on to swimming i saw another spine foot on the bottom which was 4 meter away. I think its time again for sharpshooter work... But hell it swim in to the cave but she showed his head from the cave as soon as he enter the cave. Typical bream movents.. But the problem is i was 90 degree top of the fish, i wasn't in fron of the cave. I have to make 90 gegree head shot. I think i am not gonna hit it coz i never achieved it with my old gun. I waited the wave to pass then i touched the trigger. It was on my spear. Woww.. I measured the distance with my shooting line. It was about 3 meter. Then i said yes this hell accurate gun. Another thing that i observed is the shaft was very fast just like lightning. May be it was two times faster than my old 6.5mm shaft and 20mm power bands. I continue to hang around i saw octopus i was amazed coz generally you can't see them near the shores in summer. I higher my head from the water and looked how far i was from the car. I couldn't see it ! ! !. I kicked my fins to higher my body to see the car i was already 300-400 meter away from the car. BTW i tooked actopus too it was about 60-65 cm long. I like octopus meat more than fish. I dived two meter and shoot to his head. He immediatelly grab my spear. I killed it with my knife. I decided to go back coz i don't have the diving buddy. On the way back i saw little silver colored fish. It has to be in bream family. I shot it for my cat. I love my cat and she didn't eat fish from last summer. At least i didn't give her, may be neighbours gaved her.. But after last shoot i bent the wishbone! ! ! I don't know how this happened, never happened to me before. The last part of the way to the car with unloaded gun. I watched the turtles while heading back.... Well there were no fishes. The fishes that i shoot was small but i really impressed with my new gun lightness, manuverability, speed, and accuracy.....
I got the contact of few good spero whoes 30+ meter. They will teach me something and hopefully get me more fishy places....
Take care....
