Spear Gun Ideas for North Carolina

[Killer&Griller]

The bad bottom, ledges, etc are further inshore (shallower) and closer to the Diamond Shoals, so the vis, current and other conditions apparently arent as optimal as the area's further offshore where most of the wrecks are.

I don't know about your area, but out of Southport, I don't dive closer than about 30 miles out for water vis. I would think that since I dive from Top Sail to Murrells Inlet and do this, it isn't any different out of Hatteras. I think that ya need to watch your sounder when you are running. I marked 20 new spots last weekend, dove 6 of them between 3 of us and filled the coolers. Two of the spots are now in my top 5 list. We found them running between old stuff marked from last season. If interested, PM me and I will tell ya what I look for when running. There out there, trust me.

Reel Fishaholic....is that the name of your boat?

I think I saw you around Shackleford last weekend. I dive and hunt the inshore reefs and wrecks a lot off Carteret County form my little CC. We should hook up. PM me.

I use a biller 2 band 32 when the flounder are not thick, a pole spear is best for them in my thinking. I saw a 20+ pound grouper on the Parker earlier in the summer, but couldn't get close enough with my spear. Took my gun on the 2nd dive and couldn't find him again. That was unusual for the inshore wreck. it is the only one I have seen in a bazallion dives there.
