An early morning
Well I guess technically I used a BP for this mornings hunt as I used my Riffe mid handle speargun so in the BP section it goes :biggrinn: Woke up this morning and was in the water at 5am…….COLD! And besides seeing a few shorty flatties, leopard shark and some calicos was a uneventful morning BUT spent 2hrs playing in the kelp beds an getting some good exersise.

Whats your target species there Iron? hows the vis?
Seems many of us airgunners have similar interests..
Freediving and Spearfishing is my other favourite thing to do 
Heres a vid from last weekend of myself and a friend spearing Yellowtail Kingfish in 60 meters of crystal clear blue NZ waters..
The beach is about half an hour from my house and the location of this vid is about an hour off shore where a rock rises up from 60 meters to about 18 meters from the surface.. perfect hunting grounds for some big palargics :fishing:
The water was 20 deg C and the air temp was 28 deg C which is still quite warm for the Autumn (Fall) here.. We were hoping to see a late season Marlin but no luck on that one..still went home with a good feed of Kingfish and Tuna..
Mostly go for flatties, cuda, sheepshead and various kelp bass. In shore Vis is pretty hit and miss, some days you get 20′ others 2′ when I have time I like to get out to Catalina island then its a whole new ballgame with yellow tail, yellow fin, huge cod and WSB (White Sea Bass).
That is mental mate prob best you tube vid ive watched :8: :4:
Now that looks like fun….

Water temp was around 55 on the surface but get down 40 or 50ft and feels like your balls havent dropped yet, was only wearing my 3mm so saps the heat from you pretty quick, at least freediving you build up body warmth.
Looks real nice IC… What’s the water temp??
