me and dive buddy also got bigger one, but it has no pictures. Man i should be lucky finding that size groupers in this shallow water is anusual here.
Today i also got the chance for the first time to make aspetto to dentex. They were in pairs in 3-4 meters of water they were very small probably smaller than 500 gr. I decided to try my lastest version of the aspetto on them. I lied down, hide my boddy looked down to hide my eyes also, and started to wait, after some time they started to come closer (like attracted by magnets) but when i raised my head to see where are they, they stoped coming ans started to swim laterally about 6 meters away from me. Then i looked down again to hide the eyes again and they started to come closer. Last time when raised head they were 3-4 meter away from me and then again they start to swim laterally this time i tried to adjust my gun to their direction of coming (i was not intent to shoot them just practice for biggers) and this time they start to swim slowly away from me, then i extended my gun to see what will happen and they disappear.
Now, i know i made two major mistake by making aye contact and moving (slightly) the gun, but how you supposed to shoot them without looking and moving the gun. You guess the the direction of coming from the bengining and the no looking until the shoot? May b they overreact to the eye contact coz of the shalow water, more sun, more light on the mask????
