Well, thanks for all who replied. My reply to you Jaz is that i spear fish that i know are not prohibited to spear. I am aware of the species that are not to be speared and i am also aware of the size limits on all fish (thanks to my handy pocket guide). So what i spear i either eat or give to my cat as catfood. Nothing goes to waste. I dont throw dead fish back in the sea, and I never spear something that I know is illegal to spear. I was sure these fish were not endangered and their size told me that they were above limits (as most fish are legal above about 40cm). So i dont think i did anything wrong. Now that i know the spotted green fish is a Sea Carp, and virtually unedible...i probably wont spear them any more. But be assured i dont waste fish and i never spear stuff that i know shouldnt be speared.
Pls dont think im the kind that gives the sport a bad name. Because im not. But i know what u mean and i respect ur comments.
All the fish we cought were eaten...but like u said...nothing really tasted that great (appart from the leatherjackets - about 4 altogether, and the boarfish - which we got only 1 of).
P.S. By the way, do ppl think that Magpie Perch are good eating...
