Spearfishing 1/12/2016

Post by Lightningx » Fri Dec 02, 2016 11:32 am

With light winds forecast for last night my friend and I decided to give the spearfishing another go.
Turns out we had made a good decision.
We arrived at around 9:30 and started looking around at 9:45. The water was nice and clear with a slight chop.

It didn't take us long at all to have a decent size flathead in the bag.
After that it was flounder after flounder.
We ended up with 12 good size flounders, a large flathead and managed to spear another good size squid as well.

We only missed one massive flathead.
Was a fun night.

Nice catch LX.

Where abouts did you catch these fish.

What is your setup for spearfishing?

Awesome catch LX! I was keen to head out but thought it was too windy! You have proven me wrong!!! How do you cook your flounder?

somewhere between williamstown and werribee is my guess ;-)

Im a relative noob at this but I can attribute my success so far to all the great info that's on this site in relation to spotlighting. Some of of the threads are a few years old but there are 'gems' of knowledge within them.

What spear do you use? Apparently we're only supposed to use spears with 2 prongs and no barbs but everything I've seen for sale on the major online tackle stores has a cluster of prongs with barbs.
