lionfish

I have lionfish pole spear and want to capture my hunts on my GoPro. What do you guys use? The only solutions I can come up with are either a mount on my mask or a wrist mount. If I go with the mask mount I’m thinking of ScubaPro’s even though I have an AquaLung Teknika. Anyone successfully...

My son and I are planning to dive Skiathos and Skopelos islands in Greece mid July and would like to spear lionfish while there. Any suggestions on diveshops or spearing lionfish on these islands would be appreciated.

Hello! I am looking to go on a spearfishing and/or lion fish hunting trip and am trying to figure out if there are any hot spots where there are significant populations accessible to divers. I know they are everywhere in the Caribbean but looking for multiple encounters / spears to make a video...

I find this paper interesting. They used DNA fingerprinting to ID the remnants in the stomachs of 50 Lionfish from Sarasota area taken in 2016, and turned out that LF mostly consumed small gobies (2 species, 44.7% of the prey by numbers found), Sand Divers (16.3%), Sand Perch (14.3%), and Bridle...

We all know the war against lionfish rages on and continues to challenge hunters who give up their free time to help prevent more damage to the reefs and in turn, the local economy. On Curaçao, there are many organised groups and dive schools that provide lessons on how to safely search for and...

I'd like to open a new topic on whether or not lionfish in the Caribbean and Florida should be killed by scuba divers? For those of you that are not aware, lionfish were introduced into the waters around the Caribbean and Florida by accident. So they are not indigenous to the area. This means...

I have found a couple of places in the Florida Keys and one or two in Cozumel. So, where is the best place to learn how to spear and contain lionfish? I'm based in Atlanta, so getting to many places is fairly easy. I have to admit I was bummed that it wasn't an option on a recent trip to GCM...

I figured this would be some good info for any of us diving near these types of fish. Pretty to look at but stay clear! The video is from Coyote Peterson with Brave Wilderness youtube channel. I'm neither affiliated with nor advocate his behavior. He's nuts and must be really into pain but he...

I think this is a great idea, but eradicating lionfish will probably be as easy as eradicating fire ants. Thoughts? Are killer robots the only solution to lionfish plague? - CNN.com

The official launch of the first publicly available interactive lionfish tracking map for use around the entire range of the invasive species lionfish occurs this week. This lionfish tracking map, available at Lionfish Tracking Map - Lionfish Information, allows anybody to directly input where...

To barb or not to barb... I see both barbed and unbarbed spear tips being used for lionfish. I watched video on a spear without barbs and a built in pusher to push the fish off the prongs into a bucket floating on the surface and they said barbs are bad because the fish is too hard to get off...
