Spear fishing by waverunner

2008-02-08T15:00:00.000-08:00

The past summers we have used wave runners to get my father in to position to dive with ease. It allows for easy menuvering in shallow areas. and allows the wave runner to look out for boats and keep them away from the diver. So always make sure you know where the diver is, His life is in your hands. Get out and have fun and learn to dive.

Back in the day The fish jump out of the water

My father every day would take us to the rock away beeches to swim while he would spear fish. The greatest part was when he would come out of the water with all those fish. The people would mob him because they know he had fish for sale big ones he would make that money. Then we would go home to swim in the pool while he went to work as a printing plate maker I would not trade these memories for the world.

P.S I will ad pictures after I get them from him and scan them to My PC.

Welcome to Crazy Fish Tales here I will post pictures from place like the far Rockaway NY where my grandfather and father and us have taken some monster stripe bass and countless black fish. My father worked at 1 pm every afternoon he went spear fishing and sold all the fish on the shore where people mob him when he came out of the water.he made twice his day work salary. Then went to work to bring in more. Stay tuned.

Here is another crazy day when we let little PJ drive the boat well it's not as bad as the time his father drove the boat.
