Re: Should I get a different tip for my AB Biller?

Thanks for the advice. I do not have the proper tools to sharpen the shaft to a point. But, I might just remove the flopper and use it as a single one.

Re: Attention turds spearing snook at FP south jetty.. (warning rant)

*FWC or #FWC on your cellphone.

I fish for snook more often then spearfish, so this particularly burns me. If they spear snook, we can only assume that they take many other species illegally.
