Re: Spearing in Italy (freshwater)

There is SO much more to say, and obviously there are even differences between Europe and north America as far as hunting styles are concerned.
Like you probably hadn't heard of the bubble technique. Thats something Im pretty sure I thought up. It occurred to me while watching "Blue Planet" that killer whales herded fish with bubbles. I also knew that fish would be scared off by bubbles from our snorkels, so I devised this technique to keep large schools of fish in a group. This helped a TON in deep lakes with fast moving fish. The fish were also less scared it seemed by being circled by all the divers, than seeing one, big, consolidated group of divers. If the bottom is somewhat sturdy, you can "play dead" here and with certain kinds of camouflage (my beuchat green mundial works AWESOME) the fish will just forget that threats can come from below, and just start to swim right over you! Oh well, like you I am making this too long, I could talk forever.
