Whenever I don’t have a cold it seems that every sick person feels cheated and will jump at any opportunity to swipe some of their snot on my food or face… This is no paranoia. The legions were out to get me! The lady at the bakery that coughed all over my food and used… Read More »
I was fishing somewhere south of La Paz. I began my day by paddling 30 minutes and anchoring, only to find out I did not have the top part of my wetsuit… So I jumped in without my suit and took the anchor out. The seas were rough enough for me to have to turn… Read More »
I made this gun 12 years ago. I found these old pages in the archives… I still use that gun regularly. Further down you’ll see my second hockey gun as well as the mech of a white oak speargun I used in Puerto Rico ages ago. Hockey stick gun with trigger activated line release! It… Read More »
December 1st, 2018 Weather Underground was predicting 10 km/h winds from the NW, so I drove to Ventanas in the hope of getting one of the few flat-water days of the area. I don’t particularly like Ventanas or Sargento, it’s too shallow and the spots are way sandy, but I do visit once in a… Read More »

For one, the water is super warm at 27C (81F). On the other hand, it’s been just as windy, which is not entirely normal for… Read More »
I spent february and march fishing in Baha, these are by far the worse months, but don’t let this stop you from visiting… unless you want easy fishing or are only interested in pelagics… Winter is a time for shooting deep Cuberas, yellowtails and finding the tasty but smallish groupers (15 pounders). The Pacific side… Read More »
Camera placement is everything lol This is an teak speargun. I usually make Iroko spearguns but it is getting very difficult to find dry Iroko. The stock is wider than my usual model, it also had three band slots. In this test I used two 16 mm bands with a 7.5 mm shaft. It was… Read More »
So the tbargun or tbar speargun has a dedicated French name now, it’s the barrebalète! It was chosen by the member of the chassesousmarine.com forum. In this video, you see a weighted down verson of the tbargun. I put one kilogram of led in the stock. It makes is perfectly neutral and helps reduce the… Read More »
