Spearing toau how to#
How to properly dive with a "3-prong" or pole-spear, as well as advanced tips that have not been covered on the YouTube channel. There will also be opportunities to discuss certain sections of the course that you may be struggling with. You will be tested after each course section to make sure you understand the concepts of each section.
Video tutorials teaching you ethics, regulations, safety, proper gear, diving conditions, identifying fish species, spearfishing techniques, cleaning your catch, easy recipes to make, and more! Listed to the right is what you can expect to learn from taking this spearfishing program. To learn more about freediving safety, we will provide a list of freediving courses that you can take. Here in Hawaii most spearos strictly freedive. This course is also not designed for scuba diving. A more advanced speargun class will be available at a later date. This course will be teaching you how to use a pole-spear ONLY! We are strong believers that it is safer to begin spearfishing with just a "3-prong" for reasons we will cover in the course. This course is designed for absolute beginners, all the way to intermediate level divers. Thanks ESOX, I think I might be better off waiting till I get my hands on some of them during soft water before I try spearing a similar fish without a good view.Who Is This Course For, And What To Expect. Most of the definative means of telling the two require handling counting the pores, checking for scales and that sort of thing. There are some big pike and small muskie in this lake. QUOTE(esoxfly Feb 1 2010, 08:17 PM) Well muskie are potentially bigger, but not always. I know I've seen guys talk about spearing on here before, so hopefully one more knowledgable than I will get on here and give you the good info. Or give it a shot with someone who's done it before. Maybe concentrate on catching a few of each next summer and getting more comfortable ID'ing them from a distance and under less than optimal conditions. But just like duck hunting, it's your responsibility to know a canvasback from a mallard, or a drake from a hen and if you don't know, you don't shoot. That's a mark of a good sportsman wanting to be sure and not kill the wrong thing. I guess ultimately it's up to you to know the difference for sure, and it's good that you're asking.
A muskie's tail has pointed lobes and isn't as strongly marked. A pike's tail has rounded lobes, and black or dark rays through it. If you can see light colored sides on the fish, I'd probably error on the side of caution.ĭepending how much distortion you have, check the tail.
For starters, think of muskie as light with dark spots, and pike as dark with light spots. But I guess I'd look for a couple of things. I've never speared anything, and don't even ice fish, so I may not be the best to toss out advice. Well muskie are potentially bigger, but not always.
