Submitted by Anonymous on Thu, 2014-10-16 19:51
hi guys, i baught a 2 piece 2m pole spear with that special lacky band that makes ot shot far, i am a begginer so i thought this would be a good start. i was planning of going to south beach groyne for a snorkle with the spear for sweep, herring and other little species. i was just wondering if i am allowed to go there spearfishing? are there any rules?

Is it a wooden or fibreglass gidgie? I also used to go around the fishing boat harbour.

Yeah mine was a wooden one as well with the jelly rubber. I graduated to a fibreglass one later on.

I have had one for a while
I have had one for a while and they are a great tool, take up hardly any space and very easy to use. You will have some great fun with it.
Sorry I can't help with the original question, not sure of the rules for that area.

Should be able to fit a smokie on there somehow.

You better practice throwing
You better practice throwing it underwater... It will be different to what you think. I wouldn't think it is as easy as it looks

It's easier than you think.
It's easier than you think. Getting up close enough to the fish is the hard part

Good gidgee, has the weight
Good gidgee, has the weight behind it to hit fish with force.
Check the fisheries/DPAW for first hand info on where u can and cant spear.
Good luck
