Hi,

I'm going to be producing a spearfishing DVD in the Dry Tortugas at the end of the month. I have a huge list of things that I want to cover in the DVD, but I'm looking for your thoughts and input of what you would want to see. This is going to be geared towards beginers / newer hunters with some advancement sections as well for the more intermediate hunters. Any and all ideas are welcome!

Some of the things already included are a section on safety, rules and regulations, fish species (mostly geared towards the south) and tips and tricks from experts.

Thanks for your input you can also email me suggestions at Becky@LiquidProductionsLLC.com

happy hunting!

Put in some non gay music. I recently watched a friend's spearfishing video and it had super gay music, and it ruined the movie.

Recognizing fishy areas, whether visually or with depth recorders.

Hazards of specific fish ie:sharp spines,teeth or gillplates.

Proper storage and cleaning of fish.

Good Luck.

BTW,are these self-prolaimed experts

When do you expect to have the video available? I'd love to get into spearfishing and this is exactly what I've been waiting for to learn more about it.

If your video mentions spearing in the Dry Tortugas area you may want to mention risks of ciguatera poisoning with larger fish. I used to work for the Florida Fish & Wildlife Institute and at that time they were researching ciguatera poisoning in fish. The research trips would run to the Dry Tortugas because it had a reputation for being one of the highest (or perhaps the highest) risk areas for ciguatera poisoning in fish.
