Yes they do, and I think they have more success than we do. For instance, early in the season, the fish are out in water over 100 feet deep feeding on squid. Also, murky water isn't a problem for them as it is for us. In the spring, the fish are often right up next to the beach in shallow milky water on the back side of Catalina. Boats back up as close as they dare and throw live bait into the surf line, and the water is usually too milky for spearfishing.
A few years ago in late March, I recall a day when I was going nuts. A large (maybe 80') sportboat was anchored inside me right up next to the beach, hauling white sea bass over the rail one after another. I could hear loud croaking all around me, but I couldn't see a think in the milky water.
Also, they do a lot of fishing at night when the squid are spawning, and of course we don't dive at night.
