Well it was my first ever time spearing through the warmer months.
I had a couple of nice pics from a few days catch.

Wow amazing looking fish Jace!They look a little bit different to the ones we shoot back here in Ireland.
Can any of you Aussie boys tell me if theres any licences/permits needed to buy or use a speargun in oz?I'm planning to move there for a few years and lookng forward to a bit of spearing.

Hi Richie,
In NSW you need a fishing license to fish with anything (spear, angling etc) but they're about AUD$20 for a year so won't break the bank. QLD you don't need a license but i'm not sure of the rest of the states. Each state has their own size restrictions, bag limits as well as list of species that are illegal to catch. You can go into a store buy a speargun without the need of a license/permit.... you just can't use it without one  Hope that helps. Cheers, Ben

Also Perth(w.a.) u dont need a licence, but yes the standard fishing bag limits and such apply
Pretty much most Local dive shops sell guns aswell, ranging from your below standard band guns to your FAR SUPERIOR AIR GUNS

Hey Ritchie, where abouts in Oz are you planning on moving to? drop me a line if your anywhere near melbourne, I'm always looking for someone to go spearing with. I'd buy all your gear in europe and bring it with you, buying stuff over here is daylight robbery!!!

Perth spearing is crap unless you go south or north for 100km
 Id sugest going to eastern states(better spearing)

November huh? Hmmm, well now how long would you be staying for? Around dec/jan is good for Yellow tail king fish around the prom and yellow and blue fin tuna around portland. I am looking at getting a charter for up to 6 people around then for the tuna out prtland way and there are still 3 more seats available. No date as yet so keep that in mind coz we'd love to have you on board.
PS, bring a few extra spears just incase
