Hi Rohan
I either attach the catch bag to my belt using a large clip (not a good idea if you're in a sharky area), or drag a float behind me. When using the float I either tether the catch bag under the float, or don't take a catch bag at all, and just thread the fish onto the float line (through the gills and out the mouth). I attach the float line to the handle of the speargun using a shark clip, so the gun is all you need to carry. However, this doesn't overcome the problem of lines getting tangled, since you now have a float line and a spear line to manage.....but it seems the most starightforward system to me (other than taking each fish you spear back to shore).
Another similar system is to use a float, and attach a fish stringer below it (a fish stringer is a short length of steel cable with a type of 'needle' you use to thread your fish onto the cable).
