Last day of Grouper Season 2024

Today is the last day of grouper season. Wildlife screwed us this year and only gave us 45 days to catch 1 grouper per person, 2 per boat. Very irritating! Well enjoy this beautiful dive on a new-to-me spot!

To note, the owner of Lobster League told me they do have better material to handle these bigger lobsters and he is helping me get that taken care of. Those guys are awesome! :) Definitely the best snare I've used yet, and the only one I've seen where the builder actually backs it.

Great customer service is everything. Thank you. Cant wait to send you the other loop we would recommend using in the Carolinas!

I am interested in a Carolina version of the lobster snare.

[@Livingthedream1225]

We are diving relatively close. I go out of Southport a few times a year. Just a suggestion, if you don’t want to freeshaft. Push the spear all the way through the fish, like free shafting, and unclip the shooting line from the gun. Pull everything through your fish. You didn't seem to struggle with that fish too long, but it may be faster and easier than fighting with a flopper. The other thing you could do is use an oring to keep then flopper down. Safe diving.

[@carolinaseahornets]

Good ideas. I thought of that too while doing it. The flopper was down but kept hooking on the flesh at the end of coming out. Probably would have been faster to pull it through and remove the ring like you said for sure. Thanks for the feedback!

The line is on your gun backwards the rubber goes by the gun

[@Livingthedream1225]

Yes the rubber on the shaft side is not normal but not sure it hurts anything. May wear out that piece a little faster because it's absorbing more shock being closer to the fish and getting rubbed up against ledges and wrecks.

its apparently how Koah strings their guns. All my koah guns came like that.
