It really depends on where you are. Any big public beach like St Pete beach, or Palm Beach, etc., have lifeguards who will give you hell. Many of the smaller, less crowded, "public" beaches can be done, but you cannot load the gun till you are offshore the minimum distance. Just be smart, keep...

I made the mistake of pointing to one of those beautiful purple/blue ones in maui to my wife and even though my finger barely touched it, about three spines nailed me... Man oh man did that hurt (like a wasp sting) and the tip of my finger turned white.... Sore as hell for about 3 days...

I for one am going to try them.... I have seen some big ones, but didnt shoot because they looked like angelfish. Now that I have read about them and that they were pretty good eating I will be giving them a try. I find the more I read that for many it has little to do with the fish and lots to...

Probably speaking of simply cruising the top, as snorkling generally implies... No harm in that, just not submerging... Christof

I know about Audre (what a goddess) and the back and forth about whether he was to blame, but why the harsh words for him? Dont really know much about the guy, so just curious.... Christof

Man the antennae on that thing are huge. Is there meat in those like the claws of the northern bugs?? Any meat in the carapace (sp)? I SO want to catch and eat one of them buggers... Christof

One of my favorite fish, now if I could just find a spot here in central florida that held good numbers... I have dove all around in tampa bay over sand and have yet to see one... Nice fish! Christof

So are the reefs easy to find? Do you look for bottom changes or simply structure? Thanks for the input, my wife is dying to try a florida lobster.... She is already in love with your stone crabs.... Christof

How exactly do you get "bit" by a lobster that as far as I know has no pincers or teeth?? Something I need to know here? Also, is it feasable to start from central florida in the real early am (like 1 am) and drive down to key largo for the day, or do you have to go all the way to key west...

He heh.... You too? How about telling that to all the shark victims that were in 4 ft of water or less.... Most shark attacks occur in shallow water.... :huh: Christof

You state that, yet ask if you should be concerned?? Scuba at night is one thing, floating around on top in the dark is crazy if you ask me.... Christof

And to answer your question about public beaches, it is any beach where "official" public access is available, i.e., where there is a walkway or other access point that was created specifically to allow the public to access that particular beach.... Many beaches are public even if surrounded by...

Just visited your site and I can say the same for you... Stunning stuff.... Christof

Yeah, I dont agree with the jetty thing, but some of the jetties I have been around it is probably a good thing.... Last think I need is some arse flinging a 6 oz sinker at me cause he's pissed I am fishing near "his spot".... It would happen too! I find plenty of bridges/pilings to spear...

Awww, I think it's just the "small penis" thing.... LOL.... Really, I dont understand either... Whether when I was guiding, or spearing here in Florida, I would much rather eat a 20 lb grouper as a 60 lb grouper... Same with deer, elk, etc... Sure, an 8 point looks much better on my wall, but...

I am from Seattle and used to do scuba and freediving there.... Learned to spearfish at the Mukilteo oil docks.... Blew out my eardrum there after shooting a 40lb halibut while having the gun wrapped around my wrist like an idiot.... Lots of good times and great dives there, but it can be...

I know ya's well from over at Spearboard..... Let's go dive sometime! Christof

I think your comments are silly ;) .... Where did you get that info??? The only restrictions even close to what you are stating here is that you cannot spear within 100 yds of a bridge, pier, or jetty where fishing is allowed.... That would mean the Skyway fishing pier, etc.... There are...
