Looking for a spearfishing partner for Miami and Key West
Looking for somebody to do some spearfishing with. Either in Miami Key West or both. I'm staying at the Casa Marina Resort in Key West and I understand there might be some decent hunting from shore there I'm going to be arriving in Miami on the 26th of July and staying through the 30th and then I'll be in Key West from July 30th through August 4th. I'd be interested in a shore dive or possibly renting a kayak. I would also be willing to reciprocate with some salmon fishing up here if you ever get this way.

Be very careful hunting from shore, a guy got his foot cut off by a prop a little bit ago

True, they don't always work anywhere, do they? That's one of the reasons I would like to dive with someone else, for general safety and another set of eyes.

Re: Looking for a spearfishing partner for Miami and Key West
you really need to get on a boat here. the reef one mile offshore here is in a huge traffic area and the fish are tiny- illegal small size. Even the reef line - right in front of key west is fished out mostly- and that is 7 miles- to do any decent spearing here - you need to run a minimum of ten miles each way and realistically we run an average of 20 miles each way on an average day here. This is not like the west coast - the water here is shallow a long way out- kayak fishing doesn't really work here. It is possible - just very unlikely you will find any fish and it is VERY dangerous to do it where you are thinking of going- it's like playing frisbee in the highway median. Just charter a boat- do a split charter or something - maybe make a friend- I know one guy who takes people out for 100$ a day or something- but the kayak thing is a bad plan.

Re: Looking for a spearfishing partner for Miami and Key West
Well, that's not what I was hoping to hear but thanks for the info. I'd be up for splitting a charter with somebody. Do you have the name and number of the guy that charges $100 to take people out? And is it worth $100, meaning will he put you on fish?

Abyss dive shop in Marathon will take you out for under 100$ and bring you to the reef. Before i had my boat i went out with them a few times and shot a nice grouper and some snappers and hogfish.

I won't advertise for him- since his operation is illegal I know many captains who spend alot of money to run legal operations- and I won't disrespect them by pushing people to an illegal charter my guess is - if you keep posting on here- you will get a pm from the dude who runs the illegal gas money charters from his house
