Which gun should I take with me, the 75cm Rubberband or asmall Peumatic? What would be better,and which point, Singlebarb or multiprong ?
I´ll be in Moscenice Draga, where can I buy the nescessary licence for spearing, and can I use a small boat for carrying the equippment?
And last but not least, what fish will I see, is there anywhere a list with Fotos, i´ll only dive at the coast in deppths between 3 and 7m how big are those fish.
What about sharks.? thanks mike

Hi Mike,
- I would take a 5mm suit if u have one, or jacket 5 and trousers 3mm; but 3mm is ok too, spring is hot this year.
- Both guns you mention are small and they will just allow you to catch animals that let u come pretty close like maybe octopus or scorpena or some small barbs or labrids. The point is that fish in Croatia is very shy and knows a lot about spearos. So I figure with these small guns it will be rather difficult to get some more "noble" prey. I would take at least a 90cm gun to try for some breams or mullets by doing "aspetto" or "agguato". But then again, if you just whish to "collect" what u find during long accurate research in holes and crevices and under/between boulders, the small guns are ok.
Concerning the point of the shaft to use, it depends on the way u fish like I said before. When I used a 70 pneumatic years ago i often took the multiprong. The shot has not to be long anyway, its not that delicate like the single point and it forgives you bad aiming (one of the 3 or 5 spikes could hit the target when the others miss).
- u get the license in a tourist office in opatija, where u pass through when u go to M.D. I can't describe u exctly where it is just ask in the first tourist office u find there on the way and they will tell u.
- what do u mean by "small boat"? Just an inflatable without motor, with motor? Dont forget that if your boat is equipped with outboard motor stronger than 6 hp u need a boat license.
- Fish u will see in shallow water:
Lots of labrids (not to shoot, no good taste), smaller breams of the genus Diplodus, small gilthead breems (sparus auratus) too, some mullets, if lucky some sea bass; small scorpenas (spare them, they mostly are just babys), on sandy ground maybe barbs and some marble bream (pagellus mormyrus).
And who knows what else ...
Oh, I forgot, u will see lots of sharks
Cheers,
Ivo
