This month I’m in Singapore and there is no chance of hitting the water be it a pool, lake or the ocean. Because of my work I’m on call 24 hours a day and its the equivalent of fasting not being able to hit the water. For that month or however long you are out of the water, it is really important to me to stay in shape so that I don’t miss a beat and can keep up, and swim harder and longer then the guys we enviously watch...

http://www.youtube.com/user/cameronkirkconnell Check out the video from this week in the Bluewater off Florida Big King Mackerel and a well placed shot in Bluewater Not heeding my own advice in “Slow Summer Spearing Solutions”, we headed out early this week and hit a few of our favorite “secret” spots on the East and West Coast of Florida. In both cases within a few minutes of arriving at the spots another boat was...

Every Summer the weather gets hot and there are sometimes weeks on end where the fish seem to all but disappear while the number of boats and people on the water triples. Your normal fishing spots become over run by families on vacation and weekend warriors who’ve finally gotten their week off a year to go fishin’ with 1000 of their new best friends on the not so secret spots that are printed on the chart. Its time to get a...

There are some really good dive knives on the market in recent years but I’ve always been partial to a serrated blade. They can cut through 400lb Monofilament and stainless steel cable just the same and I can cut chum/berley with it and even through the bones. Every knife I’ve ever seen has the serration on only one side and we never use the other side of the blade so its wasted… until the Riffe Terminator. Finally I have...

Three Amigos. Big White Sea Bass always look good on the deck White Sea Bass, aka the Grey Ghost As a West Coaster you have heard of them, hunted them, fished for them, heard them croak eerily somewhere in the distance and painfully smiled as you’ve seen your friends and other boats land them right beside you. There are many secrets to hunting and fishing for WSB. The most successful divers have paid careful attention for years and...

I’m 17 and willing to shoot fish in blue water as big as possible (no bigger than 100# though) and have been diving consistently around the globe for 2 years now. Anything important I should bring down there? Any pointers would be much appreciated. How many float lines do you use if...

Bait+structure=predators There is nothing better than good bait. If you are a fisherman you have likely spent thousands of dollars and hours through the years making sure only the best is in your cooler or livewell when you leave the dock. As Spearfisherman somehow we forget everything we learned from fishing when we should be using it to our advantage. Fish are going to be where there is bait and you can adjust your tactics as the time of...

I need your help, those of you that do a lot of boat trips or have lists that your check before you head out please let me know what I’ve forgotten! Planning another trip the Bahamas and I have a few weeks to make all the preparations… except I’m on the other side of the world and when I get back I will have less than a few hours to pack the boat, my gear, girl, food, water, gas, etc etc etc for a week long trip. So what...

I wanted to give you a bit of background on myself and how I started into this sport, working for Riffe, and...
