My name is Ben Shep,

I live in
Key West,
FL
and work on the interwebs when not shooting fish.
Some decent weather and decent fish this week. Went out Wednesday with Catherine and Andy, and visibility was pretty good. We dove a lot of shallower stuff due to the ripping current. Mutton snappers are here again, we shot 4 or 5 of them. Andy had the biggest one which was probably around 8 pounds. [...]
Read MoreFinally some clear water, blue water has pushed in onto the reef and Catherine and I have gone out in it. Two half day trips this week, once just me and her and one time Andy was able to come with us. All the extra daylight in the summer, allows for leaving at one in [...]
Read MoreWell, Brian is visiting and he brought my new gun. The water and wind have totally sucked pretty much all month. I got out a couple days in the middle of the month but it has now been windy for like 2 weeks straight. Not like 15 knots windy, where you can still go but [...]
Read MoreWent out on the water for a couple days this week. My friend Brian is visiting and was lucky on the weather, after the week or so of very windy weather, the wind died the days after he got here. He brought me a new gun but I will talk about that later. We had [...]
Read MoreWell we finally got a little break in the weather and and was able to go out for a half day. The rain finally stopped around 1pm and we where headed out by 2pm. Kind of awesome to have a boat in a slip in Key West. The relatively short drive to the fishing grounds [...]
Read MoreFloats lines are great, don’t let anyone tell you different. I learned about float lines by reading about them on spearboard. No one I met in real life used a float line, so it I had to learn about it on my own. Anyways something I noticed pretty early on is that if you shoot [...]
Read MoreHurricane Gustav just went past, and there are possibly 2 other hurricanes on their way into my area. Although it doesn’t look like we will be hit directly with any of the current storms, we have been having winds up to 40 knots. I really don’t think there will be much spear fishing for awhile, [...]
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. [...]
