Re: Polespear Fishing-giving the fish a chance?

I was told to learn to hunt with a spearpole. I use the foldspear, and the JBL aluminum modified, Gat-ku carbon/aluminum hybrid. In laguna where you are from its very easy to fill your stringer in 30 minutes with nice bass, rockfish, opaleyes and Sheepies with a polespear. The first time i took out my speargun after only ever hunting with a pole, i came out of the water saying ... This is cheating! Its toooo easy.

So the answer is yes it is incredibly easy to hunt with a gun in laguna. Try that same pole in Hawaii and you will be singing a different tune. Also the visibility is a big factor. I like the visibility to be just outside my effective range. So with my Polespear i love to hunt in 8-12 foot of vis. With my gun i like it to be 18+.
