Spearfishing FT LAUDERDALE

[DaddyWarbucks452]

I'm going to Fort Lauderdale this winter.

[Hunterdoestube]

@DaddyWarbucks452 Don't, we hate snowbirds.

[spearingdafishies]

where in ft lauderdale wer u?

[whopperhead]

@spearingdafishies - South of some giant Pier about 200 yards. then swam out to the 2nd and 3rd reef.

[rdg05]

What dumb*** posts a video of himself online shooting baby hogs? Really makes me sick. Hope FWC would be able to find this video.

[whopperhead]

@rdg05 - All hogs were of legal size. Be a hero and send this video to the FWC. I just can't wait to come back down there and shoot more :-D

[KingFishGuy]

way to go bro shoot some small ass hogs yee buddy.. no wonder the south east coast of florida has been overfished...

[whopperhead]

@KingFishGuy - Right because the "1" hog fish I shot really puts a dent on your fish population. Maybe your state government needs to have stricter regulations......... yee buddy. Or maybe they should punish all the poachers out there. Just in the few days I was down there, I saw several people coming out of the water with loads of fish - undersize and not on the spearing list.

[KingFishGuy]

@whopperhead yeah they should, exactly, and maybe not youre one hog fish but like you said, when a bunch of people are taking small fish you better bet the population will decline, these fish use to be as common as parrot fish 15 years ago...

[coldriver21]

i just started spearfishing a few days ago and im lookin for a new place to spearfish, i swim at the hillsboro inlet, and trying to find something close to shore, can anyone help??



[whopperhead]

@coldriver21 goto spearfishingplanet. com there are forums where you can meet people and other divers in your area. spearfishingplanet is probably the most popular site used down in florida. that or spearboard. com

[lance22me]

I used to freedive there all the time ... man oh man I miss it.

[mca00176]

damm where is HAU

[whopperhead]

@mca00176 what is HAU?

[bpalma12]

thanks alot man.o and by the way how deep do u think it was out there?

[whopperhead]

@bpalma12 - probably 30-40 feet

[bpalma12]

i ushually go off the galt ocean mile and swim out maybe 100 yards and get little hogs.just woundering exactly where you went off of and how far you swam out because the reef i go to is so close to where you go but looks so different.thanks!!

[whopperhead]

@bpalma12 - It was about 100 yards south of some big name pier. And I swam out to the "2nd Reef" about 300 - 400 yards from Shore. Long swim!

[playtapus]

@whopperhead  dania pier???

[whopperhead]

@playtapus - It's been a few years- but that sounds familiar. i think so. 2-3rd reef out.

[BinoBanana]

spearfishing the EroJacks suck's! There is nothing to shoot, unless u like grunts LOL

[Juliodasun]

ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahah

[23usmc23]

anyone know of some good spots off ft laud or miami? 15-25ft deep? moving there from key west. also for tank diving/ speari fishing, what are some good deeper ones like around 60 ft up there.

[whopperhead]

I was just there visiting, but a few hundred yards south of the FISHING PIER out on the 2nd reef was really nice!

[CollegeIzFun]

Yeah man, I go out off Ft L and Hollywood all the time... Have you ever heard of the EroJacks? Awesome spot... Lots of Hogs off Hallandale as well

[spearohemingway]

@CollegeIzFun Where on hallendale? is there a reef infront of there somewhere?

[dizzydup]

Two reefs span much of the coast of southeast Florida.

A few good spots:

Lauderdale by the sea, a couple hundred yards south of the pier.(where this video is shot)

Dania beach 'euro jacks', a few hundred yards north of the pier.(you need to enter and exit the water just north of the pier to be legal)

Hollywood beach, straight out from north park.(not sure if spearfishing is allowed here)

Hallandale beach, straight out from the Beach Club.(not sure if spearfishing is allowed here)

[whopperhead]

Wow- Thanks Guys. I hope to get down there again - possibly this next November.

[spearohemingway]

@dizzydup You can spear at hollywood and hallendale just cant branish your gun....DO NOT walk on to the state park grounds north of Dania pier you can get a ticket for it only north of the pier about 50 yards until the park starts...you have to swim out to the reef/jax.

[dc2bee]

ur allowed to shoot grouper?.. we can't do that in australia cause of how they generally just a curious type of fish and to easy to spear.. guess cause spearos nearly wiped them out back in the day

[whopperhead]

In FLORIDA you can- The one That I shot I had actually hunted for 2 days- It was really hard to get a shot and it took me over 1/2 hour to get him out from underneath some Pilans

[sZeRo0Xx]

Hey Whopperhead, got some tricks to hold my apnea longer? and is your gun a 110? or a 95?

thanks

[whopperhead]

I had 2 out there with me- but I think I mostly used a 115cm Beuchat Marlin. Otherwise my main speargun is a HammerHead Evolution 75cm

[downeyfan20]

I live in Stuart, I could really use a pointer as to which beach you were at, because i can't shoot jack shit from the beaches i'm at in the Treasure Coast area

[RAISnHELLL]

Sick vid. Keep up the good work. I live in Ft. Lauderdale and was out on the 2nd reef, north of comercial pier if you know where that is. Got a couple hogs, it was fun..

[scubapro6]

ha i got same song on my vid.

[exxppo]

hey the song is higher, and the artist is creed

nice video!

[fishermandudejake]

why didnt you spear that big grouper the camera saw in the begining

[th3baseballer95]

ever seen them trigger fish? i've seen these very very long ones and there very very skinny i think there file fish...but anyways i sent out a bait and let it come close to the boat....i free gafted it's ass :D

[whopperhead]

I did see file fish. I also saw Trigger Fish. I didn't shoot either one- not sure if you can file- but maybe, I have no idea. My main focus was Hog Fish and Grouper. I was also keeping an eye out for Sharks :D

[whopperhead]

Youtube pulled my ORIGINAL song- so I added this one, it doesn't match squat but- I'm sure MASTER Youtube will be happy.

[Vandeput32]

tht hog was tinnyy !!! 1:56

[whopperhead]

I agree- It was the 1st HOG I had ever seen. I didn't even get to put it on the stringer. While I was pulling up my line a bunch of Trigger (I believe) ambushed it and took off with it. Bastards. I could of shot others that small, but let them go and got the 2nd one as I was heading back in to shore. Definitely a Great experience would love to go back and try again.

[Thetrainscommin54]

nicee imm in the market for a new gun now but yea thats a shame where do u live?

[whopperhead]

I live in Wisconsin. A Good day of vis for us is 15+ feet.

[Thetrainscommin54]

nicee video i go spearing there all the time right off the beach.what gun were you usng?

[whopperhead]

I was using a HammerHead 75cm and Chris was using a OMER 90cm. It is a great spot I had alot of fun just seeing it all. I just wish I had more time down there.

[bartontea]

hi , i recommend you guys to try another spots that there are no people and no boating cause that area look´s like quite dead to me ,regards from Peru , Fred.

MORE CLEAN WATER IS BETTER , MORE FISH .

CAREFULL WITH THE SHARKS.......

[26gause]

what type of camera...very nice quality

[whopperhead]

JVC Enviro HD - This video doesn't even do it justice. You should see this video in HD on a Big Screen- it's amazing!

[USEBILLERGUNS]

o well maybe next tim eh

[whopperhead]

I would like to take a trip to JUST the KEYS. Was there once about 9 years ago - Loved it.

[speardiver87]

yea i might go out there soon...how much further out did you go past the pier

[whopperhead]

We were probably twice the length of the pier.

[speardiver87]

did you guys swim out there or boat

[whopperhead]

We swam from shore- it was quite interesting. Fighting the waves is no fun. but it was all worth it to me.

[11aakkrr]

Hey where did you guys shore dive from?

[whopperhead]

2nd bouy south of Commercial Pier and went out to the 2nd reef- about 500 yards off shore.

[Deeperbluejunkie]

Bro! Awesome man!  Is that a HammerHead gun? Nice shot on that fish.

[USEBILLERGUNS]

Not bad should have headed little more south ,down here in kw

[whopperhead]

I wanted too- only had 2 days to spearfish on the Atlantic side. It was still amazing - compared to freshwater in Wisconsin.
