Spearfishing Day One. Jeff Nil

About eight months ago I decided I wanted to spice up some SCUBA hobby.. with what, I wasn’t sure. That’s when I learned of spearfishing. However, it wasn’t until recently that I finally made the plunge.

I ordered a JBL 38 Northwest Special and off I went last night to Copper Cove to try her out.

Sightings were slim. I was getting impatient. Then finally a giant lingcod appears, excitement builds, as I slowly stalk the fish into position. Aim… fire… a bare miss. I think I need to practice how to shoot the thing before I go for the real deal again. With no sights, or guides, you just have to get used to where the spear goes.

Til next time!
