I like using the old school pole spears that are just like a long light shaft (3 feet maybe) with a thick elastic tubing that you use sort of like shooting a rubber band to propel it through the water. Now that takes skill. I learned how to use those when snorkeling in Hawaii way back when I was a fearless teen. Me and my boyfriend ran out of money on a long stay on the big island and lived off the fish we caught and the fruit, macadamia nuts and coconuts that we collected. Snorkeling there was amazing--and plenty of sharks, too. Mainly tiger sharks where the ocean floor would drop. The fish we caught were little guys in the reefs. Anhow, I digress-- it just brought back survival memories from back in the day. It will be interesting to hear how it goes in Negril with the new gun. I hope you post your Catch of the Day.
