I don't get out every day....or sometimes more than a couple times a month so if I get into some fish, I'll shoot more than I can eat that day for sure. But I won't waste anything.wkyongae@aol.com

Lets see, in some areas of the world we only can shoot 1 fish per day of a certain kind of fish. hmhm Sounds like the home boys would have the advantage over the outsiders. Now if the limit is 4 fish per day and I stay for 2 days the outsiders have the advantage. But in 8 days it would equal out most of the time. My rule has always been, no matter what the limit is if very few fish are in the area I am spearing in or they are rather small. Pack up and move to another area. Tell every one you you know of the problem and stay away from the area for awhile. Don't forget to tell the charter people as well.

for some cultural exchange, fyi here in sydney it is illegal to spear or take on scuba
and for me, i think 2 posters here hit it right
"Shoot only what you are going to eat that day only" &/or "if I get into some fish, I'll shoot more than I can eat that day for sure. But I won't waste anything"
many thanks

I went to the beach yesterday, jumped off the dock and within half hour shot two snappers that weighed about 3 lbs each. I would have spent 5 times the fuel going to town here....and I might not have been able to find fish anyway at the market.
Sometimes I get lucky and shoot a 10-12 lb fish. Too much for my family for one day but I'll take the fish and eat it over a week or whatever.
I enjoy the swimming (free dive spearing only here in Belize) for exercise and the hunting and patience part of spearing. It is a thrill to shoot a bigger fish. I don't know why and I don't really give it much thought. Should I still see a doctor?

For a tip: Don't hit the bottom immediately. Stay above 10' or 20' until you have surveyed the area and have selected your dinner.
