http://freespearo.blogspot.com/2011/11/gully-challenge-2011-spearfishing-comp.html
Wednesday, November 2, 2011. Gully Challenge 2011 spearfishing comp. To say that we have been waiting with bated breath for this comp would be an understatement. Right from the formation of our club we have been trying to have this comp but mother nature would have nothing of it. It threw gale force wind, rain you name it at us! The planets however did align for us on the 29 October 2011 and we finally had the opportunity to get into the water on a Saturday morning. Even though the fish were sparse every...

http://freespearo.blogspot.com/2011/03/spearfishing-kit-what-and-where-part7_30.html
Wednesday, March 30, 2011. Spearfishing kit - What and where? Part8 - Gloves and Dive Knife). We have covered our feet with fins and socks, we have covered our body with a wet suit and we have covered our face with a mask. One of the only things left exposed is our hands and this brings us to the need for gloves. The sea has some pretty abrasive and sharp things just waiting for your exposed flesh! These neoprene gloves are not cheap. You can expect to pay in the region of about R500 - R600 for a goo...

FreeSpearo: Spearfishing kit - What and where? (part7 - Buoy, Floatline, Stringer )
http://freespearo.blogspot.com/2011/03/spearfishing-kit-what-and-where-part7.html
Friday, March 25, 2011. Spearfishing kit - What and where? Part7 - Buoy, Floatline, Stringer ). When referring in an earlier post to the different style spear guns I mentioned the use of a buoy and float line. These items are generally more popular with shore entry divers as it provides them with the security of attaching their catch to a buoy/float that is held a few meters away. While boat divers tent to find them cumbersome as well as them having the luxury of a boat to load their catch on.

Friday, February 4, 2011. Spearfishing kit - What and where? We all want to be protected from the elements and maintain a comfortable body temperature, this is where a wetsuit comes becomes a necessity. In Port Elizabeth as well as along most of the Cape coast temperatures can drop well bellow the comfortable 13°C mark and when spending extended periods of time in such temperatures you want to make sure you are warm.

FreeSpearo: July 2011
http://freespearo.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 7, 2011. Winter, rain, wind and diving. Did I put diving in the heading? OK, I have vented my frustrations. I have to admit however that its not all doom and gloom in Port Elizabeth. As mentioned in my previous post PE now has its very own Spearfishing Club called Gully Jumpers. We had our inaugural AGM just 2 weeks back and elected in our committee. It is encouraging to see how many guys are so eager to see the sport grow in an area some up Natal way might scoff at for its lack of viz.

FreeSpearo: Spearfishing kit - What and where? (part6 - Weight Belt)
http://freespearo.blogspot.com/2011/03/spearfishing-kit-what-and-where-part6.html
Tuesday, March 8, 2011. Spearfishing kit - What and where? Part6 - Weight Belt). As you have seen from previous posts, a spearfisherman carries a decent amount of equipment, from wet suit to fins, mask and snorkel. All these items displace water and therefore increase your buoyancy, this is counteracted by carrying weights. There are two main different types of weighting methods. Firstly let's look at the traditional belt. Conventional Diving Lead Weights. Posted by Hilton Grove. March 18, 2011 at 1:35 AM.
