Boatless Fishing Forum, Reports, Info

Went out Yesterday and the day before... 4 of us got 22 lobsters yesterday and got 8 between two of us the day before.. and some strawberry grouper (or rock hind)..

Those look tasty! Where did you go, generally that is?

35'-55' in boca raton.

In Boca, no kidding. Off of red reef? I live in Boca and have not tried anything close to home yet.

since my buddy here is going to college on the west coast in a few days, and my bro doesnt really spearfish i guess we and other guys from the forum can get together and spearfish in our usual spots... i know somtimes its hard to find someone to go with so this would make it easyer.. btw what depth do u usually spearfish in?

I am very new to spearing. I have been out about 16-17 times now. The deepest we went was about 30, but we are usually between 15-25ft. I would be interested in going deeper with scuba gear.

Bugs and grouper. Nice feast.

for the spot in boca you definately need scuba gear if you want to catch lobsters, unless you can hold your breath for like 2 to 3 min, you will have a really hard time staying down there enough time to grab one.. but the depth is pretty good for spearfishing if it wasnt for the really strong current i would have felt pretty comfortable

What are the fish at the bottom of your pic with the big eyes? And how do you prepare them?

Dammmmm!!!!!! A fish that RICKY won't eat and you keep it . Toros or big eye snappers are excellent to bad as far as eating goes. When I used to work at a fish market we at times sold them as blackened snapper. They are decent eating in my opinion. The meat has a weird color to it at times but cooked up white and flaky.

Yes irradecent almost like oil on the water .

I see those every time I go out spearing. I am going to have to try for one next time then.

o well i may or may not have to try a get some and try it out in that case... i did read that they were decent to eat, but i wasnt too sure.

nice catch. spearfishing looks like alot of fun. those are some pretty awsome pics. i bet its beautiful down there. good job. keep the pics coming.
