Yes mate Blairgowrie used to be good, but I think there are a lot of people hammering the place these days. It sure doesn't spear fish like it used to, there are heaps of those small red occys. But having said that, any sandy beach is a chance for a flounder spearing session.
A scoop net is an option for garfish, but I just spear them (even a graze is enough to put them out). A scoop net is good if you have another person using it, because it gets difficult to swap between spear and scoop net whenever you see a gar, plus they don't give you much time.
What happen is that often the light stuns the gars for a few seconds (some even bump into your light), giving you enough time to slip the scoop net beneath them and then raise it.
If you want to go out, just let me know and we can meet up and learn from each other.

Fresh air, tight lines, scales, slime and fins, 'tis the salty sea dog life for me. Arrrgh!
