Wanted to get the opinion from you guys that spear on scuba.
I recently got myself a pole spear and a zookeeper plus stringer. I’ve only been able to catch so far (in 2 dives) a decent hog and a one lion. I wanted to understand how you guys scuba if you have successfully caught say, 1-3 hogs and multiple lionfish (or any for that matter) without concern of sharks? I’m in south Florida and on my first dive with 2 dead lion fish had a decent 6-7 foot nurse shark scare the hell out of me - he was chomping at my zookeeper while I was looking under a ledge for lobster.
Do you guys have the fish floating above you and not dragging along on your body? Curious on techniques, etc.
