Hi guys....
Last week I caught a sargo, and while it was still on the line and I was drifting to the rocks ,I suddenly saw a big murena, at least 1m 30, coming towards me, he was going for the fish on my belt,(I hope so)....
I did not what to do with it, to spear it or not, did not know if it was eatable so I decided to let it go.( ok...I was a little bit nervous..)
I asked another spearo and he told me you have to shoot them carefully otherwise you can get your self into a lot of ***** since they bite.
I heared they are very tasty and now know where to shoot them....so a couple of days ago I decided to go and look for them, took me almost 3 hours to find one..this one was a lot smaller though, I shot him, it was below me, just below the eyes( from the other side though), the tip of the spear went through him but, I think, because he was swimming right over the rocks, bounced on the rocks, and as I was trying to lift the spear, got away...obviously I was pissed of..
Now my question is...how do you look for them, and what kind of equipment would you use..?
