No, not really. Usually, we bring two types of anchors; One type will be the kind used for tying around kelp stems-- it's typically shorter in length with a lightweight carabiner clip or velcro strap for binding -- the other type would be the conventional style with a metal boat anchor. There are times though, I don't use an anchor and just attach my floatline to the kayak and tow it around. My kayak has very low drag so pulling it around, I barely feel any resistance, even when the waves hit it directly from the bow.

@@PacificCoastHunterz awesome, thanks for the detailed response

Yea, the fish was within 5ft - close enough

Yes

Half my catch tends to come from those hiding spots.

They're out there - just gotta put in the time to search around.

Thanks. Do you dispatch your fish before putting them on your stringer?

22.5"?

@@PNWSamson 22" - The ling's I shot were 22.5" and 24" -- I measured twice to make sure; a friend brought along a fish measuring board aside from the measuring tape I used that's on my gun. A few of my followers have been wondering about the size and whether it was a legal take.

@@PacificCoastHunterz No worries man, I didn't suspect they were under I was just curious. They have to be 25" in British Columbia. I don't think Washington has a minimum for spearfishing but they have a maximum of 36". No consistency haha

Empty, the kayak is 70lbs. I wouldn't use an inflatable while spearfishing... that's asking for trouble.

Good deal!

Yea, I am.

Dude, it's such a clean-shooting setup; once you try one, you might not use a conventional front-load gun moving forward.

Thank you! I'm quite happy you and many others are enjoying the dive footage.

Wanna be my personal editor?

The ocean not only provides food provisions but also helps clear out the mind of everyday stresses.

lol

It's there. You'll see my shooting line get pulled off to the left. The fish is only visible at the moment it was hit.

@@PacificCoastHunterz 😁ok cool🤝

Made ya look :p

It's something I designed and 3D printed; currently not available. I'll post a video announcing when it'll be available, eventually. I do have a free version you can download from my Pinshape site - check the links in the bio.
