My name is Ben Shep,
and this is my homepage:
Deep-Blue-water.com.
I live in
Key West,
FL
and work on the interwebs when not shooting fish.
Catherine is back from NY and she and I went out yesterday afternoon. Vis on the main reef was kind of stirred up with maybe 20 feet of visibility. We just drove past it and hit the bar which was bathed in beautiful blue water with vis from around 60-80 feet. On the edge of [...]
Read MoreMy girlfriend loves her Rabitech Hunter. It shoots good, loads good , trigger mech seemed good for awhile but we have have had issues with it. According to Rabitech the Hunter is susceptible to getting sand in it. Now we don’t shore dive so our exposure to sand is very limited but we still experience [...]
Read MoreThe Rabitech Apex trigger and handle are in the same league with the Aimrite in my opinion and both are superior to the Rob Allen and Rabitech Hunter trigger, also in my opinion. Of course you pay a lot more for the Apex or the Aimrite, so it is relative. The handle on the Apex [...]
Read MoreEverybody loves Rob Allen spear guns, all over the place you see awesome spearos with Rob Allen guns etc. I think they are probably the best deal for the money. Although for the price I think they are around the same price as the Rabitech Hunter guns, not sure which would be the better deal. [...]
Read MoreThe aimrite was my second gun after the biller, and it was a world of difference. It took a second to learn to chest load the gun and also loading and rigging the open muzzle took a bit getting used to, but once I was used to it, it was awesome. It could penetrate fish [...]
Read MoreI got that AB Biller on suggestion of my neighbor as good a beginner spear gun. My girlfriend refers to the AB biller style spear gun as the AK-47 of spearguns, cheap , reliable, plentiful, powerful but not that accurate (at long ranges). I would agree to some degree with her. The Biller style guns [...]
Read MoreTotally unrelated to spearfishing, but apparently the Iguanas Hatched a mess of babies near my backyard. There is like a dozen of these little things running around out there.
Read MoreAndrew and I went out the saturday before Fay hit. Conditions where good to great but didn’t see a lot of fish, well at least not any big snappers or groupers. Vis ranged from 40- 100 feet. 8-12 knot winds out of the south west. Saw lots of yellow jacks, mangrove snappers, triggers, prohibited permits [...]
Read MoreWent out yesterday, with Ted, it was a nice day about 8-12 knot winds from the south. The first spot we hit in front of Key West was green but you could still see 40 feet or so. It was weird this boat pretty much followed us out and stopped with us on the spot, [...]
Read MoreWent out Thursday with Catherine, it was really nice day. Flat calm, visibility ranging from maybe 50 feet on the main reef and around 85 feet on the bar. Little less then a knot west ward current on the bar and even less current on the main reef.
