I used to float around the inside of the Larrakeyah Patrol Base when I was a teenager. Buggered if I would do it now. I didn't even have a speargun at
that time.
that time.

Yep - if I remember rightly, Beastie's mate (the man in the green - or is it pink these days - hat) was roundly criticised some years ago when he appeared in the local rag with a nice wharf Barra hanging offcuddlescooper wrote:Pretty cetain that one was brought in to stop people spear fishing barra around the wharf.

Re: How to start spearfishing??
I don't understand spearing bans - it's the cleanest form of fishing, no by-catch, usually no waste.
If it is "too easy" then there should just be a tight bag limit - eg one barra. Same with scuba.

Re: How to start spearfishing??
id recommend using a hand spear first. I find them to be safer and more chance of hitting what u want due to the 7 spikes rather then one. Also it costs like $50 to buy a hand spear rather then hundreds for speargun.
