So new im still shiny

[covert]

Hey guys and gals, thought i'd do the civil thing and introduce myself. Im a n00b spearo from Cape Town South Africa. Just started taking up the sport about a month ago. And in my hunt for information i came across this fantastic site. To the admins/moderators/hosting co. Keep up the good work. And a special shoutout to SASPearo and his "spearfishing for dummies" D000000D that rocked.

Enjoy! Cheers,

rofl , from tuna "stuff" to Southafrican wines, you like your food he?, same here!!

have you ever tried a herring the way the dutch eat it?

 

[covert]

like any responsible South African i over indulge in meat and gallons of wine. I''ll tickle a GWS but i doubt im brave enough to eat herring the way the dutchies do.

No dutch last name? , nothing to it, the herring is excellent, however, the italians, like "spaghetti" eat tuna "stuff"..if you know what I mean.. , supposed to be a delicatessy!!

If this is on topic, I tried SA biltong two weeks ago. Challenging food. I guess that after eating that, one won't be afraid of GWS.
Welcome again, Covert, and please keep us wet with some good spearfishing stories soon as you surface from your next dive!

welcome covert

 

[covert]

Thanks for all the welcomes, this site really gives a sense of community doesnt it .

Just some useless info bought a whole new kit today and going to test it out this weekend, weather and viz permitting. Man i feel like a kid on christmas cant wait.

Anyhoo keep all the good hint, tips and tehniques flowing im sucking it in like a sponge.

And spaghetti your a brave man eating biltong, personally i love the stuff but it must seem gross to people who dont know it rofl . Anyhoo i should send you some droewors (dried sausage) it tastes even better and looks even worse.

Happy hunting folks

Ahoy Covert, welcome!
Man I miss diving in the Cape, especially the kelp forests...flip I'm getting all homesick over here, even had to put on my cape point t-shirt now. Oh well PE is still not a bad place for spearfishing, but hopefully I'll finish my studies here soon and then I can join you and the rest of guys in the cold water again, although I've definitely grown soft since I've been swimming in the aghulhas current.
See you around!

 

[covert]

Nothing wrong having a bit of comfort i'd say definitly give me a shout if you come down it would be awesome. just PM me if you want my cell no.
