bamagreg:Be careful where you go for fresh water fish. I don't think it is legal to hunt in fresh water in Texas, at least not for most species. The dive shop (Hydorsports Scuba) in Lake Jackson Texas, 1 hour south of Houston near Freeport offers a spear fishing class. It consists of classroom instruction and gulf water instruction. Spearfishing is a fun, challanging and addictive activity, good luck.

Where can I find out where and what I can shoot? I'm not really even a fisher, so I just don't know where to ask.
I will try spearboard.com. If I was gonna get a new (cheaper) speargun for a beginner, what would some suggestions be?
