I understand that many spearo's find it highly important to dispatch of their catch quickly and humanely. I also understand that they happen to be a little more clued up, on this crucial stage of hunting, than me.
We use a very simple system of spear, rope, bouy. No reels. So basically we hold onto our bouys like hell and try to wrestle our fish in with the rope - yes I know. Primitive- but hey it fits the student budget and it works! Makes for a laugh sometimes too.
On dispatching one our catches, we usually remove the gills from under the gillplate. I was hoping to find out any other techniques as this is not only difficult, but also exceptionally messy and often attracts the attention of the odd Raggie ( Bull shark ).
Thank you!
