Thanks for the tip merv I'll give it a go next time.
And yes they are dusky morwongs. I take them occasionally for some philippino friends of mine. I did try a skinned fillet of one of them this time and it was ok. I've had them in the past and been disgusted by the taste.

Had a nice shore dive at steels rocks in portarlington. we were spearing and freedivng. got there nice and early to have the best chance at seeing some fish and it didnt disappoint. gave my go pro its first decent workout in the salt. I had a head mount strap for it but it was a pain in the ass. cou...

nice stuff. did i see a wobbygong and then a school of jews shortly after? that kind of diving would keep you coming back for a life time.

nice one mav do you know many people that freedive / spear from yaks. I would like to find a buddy on the geelong side of the bay to do some diving etc. i've speared from the yak half a dozen or so times by myself but always keep it really safe due to not having a buddy.

nice! it should be great for flathead and night dives. 19mm is thick for such a little gun! i wonder why so much power for it? I have 16mm on all my guns, one with double 16's quite happy with the lower power of them and easy to load.

nice video. the music suited well. you've inspired me to get out again soon. thanks for putting it up.

have fun with the occy? i've shot one once a long time ago and remember having trouble getting it off the spear and onto stringer. then preparing them was another ordeal all together.

wow looks like paradise. loved the stills in the video so we could have a good look at the details on a few of the fish. good job

Great suggestion Brett. Think it might take somthing that can squirt with a bit of pressure to get the sand out.

Are they the old ones with the key ring you turn
Or the new ones that you do a quarter twist on on a plastic tab

The plastic tab ones brett. There was sand in every crack and crevice and was packed tight in and around the lugs
