TWSS kicks off on Friday, June 22 at 7pm, with a mandatory captain’s meeting at the new weigh-in station at 6840 Front Street, Stock Island (the dock property between the old Fishbusterz and Hogfish Bar & Grille). Q: Anything else? LM: I would like to mention that in 2017 we had the most female entries to date-over 25 individual ladies! That moved me and really made me feel like I had reached one of my goals with this event. I am honored to be on the board and hope to see Womankind continue to grow and support our island community. Every city needs a clinic like Womankind, a safe place providing affordable health care for women and families. Q: What motivated you to join Womankind’s board of directors? LM: I have always had what you could call a "social justice streak" and believe in the Womankind mission.

She is still my sister Jenna’s favorite diving buddy and one of the inspirations for this event.
#Kap spearguns how to#
My dad took us fishing whenever he had the chance, and a family friend (all hail Betty Shapiro) taught us how to spearfish in middle school. Q: Do you spearfish? LM: I do but I'm pretty terrible, hence, why I host the event. We have had a different first place winner almost every year with some being first time participants! These intentions, paired with the goal to raise money for Womankind Inc., has brought in support from across the nation as well as local interest. And to keep the categories simple and sustainable, we’ve created an aggregate scoring system that doesn't guarantee a win to the largest fish. TWSS evens the playing field, welcoming women to enter, competing in their own division, and encouraging them to participate, no matter their experience.


Fishing tournaments can be exclusionary by nature, either by the way they are structured or the culture they perpetuate. These speargun builders only use the best materials to build their spearguns.Q: What makes TWSS stand out from other spearfishing tournaments? LM: A few things. Look over their designs and think about picking up some of their spearguns if you find yourself looking for a new one. Below is a list of regions in combinations with builders in those areas. Many of these builders make spearguns that are just as much works of art as they are fish killing machines. If building your own gets too daunting there are hundreds of custom speargun builders all over the world. Fortunately, there are tons of Speargun Builders up to the task. Building your own can be a challenge that some divers are not interested in. When you purchase the appropriate kit you have all the hardware you need. The blank kits are already prepped to take our Neptonics Trigger Mechanisms depending on the style you choose. The blank kits can include everything you would need to build your own open or enclosed track gun. We also have the Neptonics Blank Kits which help you get started as a builder.
