Bowfishing squid

[glen]

I just noticed in the new fishing regulations for Victoria we have the following (will take effect on 2 March 2009):

Regulation 106 - Use of firearm or other weapon to take, destroy or injure fish prohibited

... the use of a firearm, crossbow or bow and arrow to take, attempt to take, destroy or injure fish is prohibited throughout Victoria.

And I also note the definition of a spear gun now expressly excludes a bow and arrow:

spear gun means a mechanical device or other thing that is capable of imparting propulsive energy to a spear or arrow, but does not include a crossbow or a bow and arrow;
