2nd Pole Spear Effort

About a month ago, I was at Fripp Island Reef chasing spadefish with a paralyzer tipped pole spear. Put several holes in fish, but never got it to stick. I got a different tip with the hinged barbs that hold the fish and went to give it a try again this weekend. Same location. We were surrounded by baracuda, so I didn’t get it, but eventually got the idea to stick one of the cudas from the boat. Missed one, then got one solid just behind the head… If anyone finds a cuda with a pole spear sticking out of him, it’s mine. Fighting that thing from the boat bloodied my hand and embarassed me…
I’m getting another spear and trying to stick with smaller fish.

You diving Fripp Isl. reef or 6HI? We hit 6HI quite often. Let me know if you need a backup diver.

Big Dummy

We were on Fripp Island Reef. I need to give 6HI a try. Out of commission for a while though, free dove Ft Lauderdale a couple of days this week for lobster mini season. We got 24 bugs, missed 3 hogfish with the (new) pole spear, but shutdown when I blew my eardrum out. I went completely disoriented and threw up.
Was going for the cuda to try to bait up a big shark since nothing else was biting.
