Stoning?

[phoneman]

I have read in some of the posts here the term stoning? Could anyone explain it to me? I'm new to diving and have no experience with spear fishing but hope to give it a try when I'm a little more experienced as a diver. Thanks

It means to hit them so they're dead on impact, no fighting. A brain or spine shot will stone them.

It comes from the expression "stone dead".

A CNS hit on a fish that leaves it Dead or "quivering". either way it's a K.O. .

Do you need a special shaped stone? I've tried all kinds of shapes and the fish always move before the rocks hit them.

Ditto, as in serious nerve damage.

Stone means to pierce with a spearshaft into the fish brain so they are stone (spear-penetrated) dead. It's more accuracy than the shape of the instrument, but we use spears - not rocks

It doesn;t have to strike the brain to stone a fish. Any CNS hit will do.

A CNS hit will stone it. A THC hit will too.

Whatever works for you. You can use a bong for all I care. I prefer stainless steel.
