[@terrywalker4790]

Thanks for all of the videos KW Waterman. You got me motivated to do the free diving and spear fishing with my son. Here in West Palm Beach so not too much shallow. Plan to take some basic free diving class and start shallow and then progress. There is a group of guys here that kill the cobra on the schools of sharks. They are some crazy guys and are definitely hard core. Keep up the great work, be safe and I hope business gets back to normal soon.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

thanks for watching them! thats awesome im glad to hear it! thats great I do recommend taking a class it'll get your fundamentals and after that its all repetition! haha yea I know a lot of guys up that way that do the cobia rodeo every year its pretty wild!

I am not a diver, but really enjoy your videos. You are one of the fortunate ones that has figured out how to make a living doing something you love. I've heard you mention the cost of chum, but haven't seen how you chum. Is that covered in another video or could you address how you chumming a future video?

[@rassiesmithiii2836]

I plan on trying chumming and diving the reef when I come down in July. Question about chumming. I see you don't hang a chum block off the back in a bag. Do you mix chum with sand to make chum balls and just drop um? Have not done much chumming other than with a chum bag at anchor.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

yea! I do there an explanation of how I do it in one of my other commercial spearfishing vids!

[@samweller3685]

I wanna see some commercial lobster trips ahahaha

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha I don't have a commercial lobster permit, but know a couple of guys that do! i'll see what I can put together!

Just curious on the throw flashers. Just type and brand.

pvc and mirror vinyl! I make them myself a good friend of mine came up with the idea!

Bad ass

[@KeyWestWaterman]

thanks! was a fun day!

[@kunz3184]

How big is your boat? The 150s must be fuel efficient

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Fred Kunz Contender 27 overall length 29’8”. They are okay. The problem is it’s underpowered. You have to run them hard to get anywhere which’s kinda kills the economy. Next time I’ll do atleast 200’s!

[@kachukoy2118]

Very amazing spot i want to know about spearfishing but i don't have a speargun 🥺🥺 because gun like that in the Philippines is very impressive 👌..

[@KeyWestWaterman]

ah that is a bummer! hope you find a way to get one! thank you for watching!

[@stevesoutdoorworld4340]

How long on average can you hold your breath?

[@KeyWestWaterman]

my average dives are only 1:15 to 1:30. if I am patient with my breathe up I can get my dives closer to 2 mins.

[@BDCALLAIS]

What is the difference between black and gag groupers! Are all blacks, gags or are all gags, blacks! Great page! I grew up in SE Louisiana and we,dad,2 brothers snd grandfather were rod and reel commercial fishermen, specks and redfish! When laws started getting impossible to get a commercial license we started guiding, me Dad and a brother!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

no they are a completely different grouper! similar habitat and diet, just a different variation I guess! im no expert! lol

[@noahhastings6145]

Flashers are $50 each?? Just buy some pvc and throw on some aluminum flashing tape. $20 for more flashers than you'll ever need.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

if I remember correctly im referring to my floating flasher set in this vid not throw flashers. the float and flasher set combined are $100 I use pvc and mirror vinyl for my throw flashers they are very cheap!
