Day 1 I take a scratched up plastic lens mask I found in the surf,a snorkle someone gave me, cheap fins, and a 3 prong sling pole I borrowed.(in case ya dont know, its a 6' fiberglass rod, hook rubber tubing on thumb, stretch band, grip rod.) And dive in. Scared as heck of the iron on the jetties,hyperventelated a bit.
Day 2, kill black drum. chase big flounder around. Spend bucks on good mask. Gotta try that mother. Blinded by the sun I cant see the steel stickin up. scared swell will impale me. hyperventalated a bit.
Day 3 Observe the master.. Russell. I cant say enough about his expertice. Afer a few big flounder he nailed a big spade and a big shark run him out of the water. He went back 3 hrs. later with yak in tow.
Day 4 Go buy gloves so I can grip the iron. A bad ass knife to cut my self loose from nettin, kill bull sharks, an cut the rubber tubing on the sling to wrap around the nub. What the heck, might as well pick up an emergency whistle too, right?
Day 5 Tell Russell about the big flounder that eludes me. He says "You got to calm down, that fish can feel your heart pounding" and "make like a turtle" AAAAHHHHH To late im addicted.
Day 11 Im in the groove now. It was stong current the whole time. Workin on free diving. going from jetty to jetty blasting across the bottom in 25'of water. Weeee!
Day 12. A mongo Spade we had been after (R. said at least 14lbs.) came in veiw. Stuck him good and pinned his big ass to the bottom. Tried to get him by the eye sockets and he went nuts. Bent the prongs sideways. Gone. I forgot to waste him with the new knife when I had the chance. oh and I may have hyventelated a little.
Day 14 Buy tips you can drive thru an ammo box an never pull out.
Get home, go online, figure what it will reqire to get in a school of stripers and kill the biggest one.
This is gonna get ugly.
Any other speros out there? Good sites? Forums?
