Guys,
next time you go night diving, stick your torch in to the ground, and swim 3 -4 mts away....the fish just 'home' in on the beacon and you can pick them off very easily out from the shadows as it were.
This is why, I believe, it has been banned in France etc. Discussed this at length with many French spearos including Yannick Yugen (French Team).....all believe it to be unsporting.
You're not even allowed to dive with a torch in the daytime in France, as this is considered unsporting to look into holes etc.
Scary and intimidating it maybe, but having tried the above method, have to say the opportunity to take more fish easily, and noticibley lobsters, increases massively.
