Yeah, it's ok.
This is what 1 rod got in less than 2 hours when we were out on Sat- if you want to spear Cod get out there, their fairly plentiful just now

Yes- been on a weeks holiday Mart, well it's actually been a Northern Training camp for Yeti, Mr Octopus and I preparing for the Guernsey meet.
We're taking it real serious this year and have spent a week drinking and eating unbelievable amounts of fish and I think we're ready for Guernsey ;-)

I like to play devil's advocate so... given the conservation status of cod do you think we can keep slaughters like that to a minimum please? there's more codling there than I would eat in a year
I like to deal with facts and the Scottish Cod fishery is far from the red conservation status of years ago. Do some research - here's a good start http://www.scotland.gov.uk/News/Releases/2012/09/cod20092012
And incidentally this is the kind of harvesting, or slaughter as you may describe it, that goes on in Scottish waters where the Cod stock numbers are increasing. Kind of puts into perspective how minuscule and insignificant a guy with a fishing rod or a speargun is on the North Sea Cod stocks I would suggest.
Here Here Grantl ...Perspective...we are insignificant more fish are eatern by mermaids than we all get in a year !We will effect the fish on one spot if fished by a few spearos but thats it !With your small window for fishing take all you wont for the year.nice fish !
bit teasy there are we?
oh ok, they're not in red status anymore where you are so its ok. Lets just push them back in the red then until its not ok to take cod again
my bad
Cod stocks group together when populations are low - so decimating populations in one area might create the impression of growth in another as shoals join together. I think deep down, you know whats right - we're on the internet though so I don't expect you to acknowledge that in public.

Given we are on the internet, and I think deep down you really do know what's right....and let's not forget to throw a little honesty-love around..........do you ever buy fish...actually no, lets just call it food? if so where from? please? 
I dont think 20 odd cod line caught or speared is going to make any diffference where ever in the world it may be, that one boat in one day may take 20 tons .I think its to late , man is top of the food chain, till theres nothing left on this planet to kill and eat .See you soon boys in Geurnsey.Keep the training up boys weve got to show them there is life north of watford gap!
Watford Gap???
That's waaaayyyyy doon Sooth
This posting fish pics business is very complicated - there's either too many, they're too big, they're too small, too slow moving, unusual, friendly, cute or too easy to shoot.
Never mind now that Tapatalk let's me post pics I can post how the other 3 drawers of the freezer are filled.
***Warning - this spearfishing thread may contain pictures of dead fish.***
