Quote:i would not mind trying spear fishing this year. i have a 4mm wet suit which should be good enough. In the past I have been reluctant due to my fear of sharks coming to inspect my catch!
lol this amuses me as my friends dad told me us a story when we went on our annual spearfishing/fishing trip. 1 day when my friends dad (noel and his mate) were spearing at the great barrier reef (or around that area) a 2m black tipped reef shark started eating the fish of their float, noel was a bit annoyed but he was glad the shark was eating the fish and not him. anyways the other guy he was out with saw what the shark was doing and got mad. he swam over to the shark, and grabbed it around the stomach, and eventually manhandled the shark into a nearby boat that their friends were on!!! the people on the boat jumped off and they all eventually got into the boat and headed back to camp. he was a hero that night and they had flake for dinner for a week! a hero lol... a crazy 1 though.

happy fishing,
