G'day Guys,
I discovered this site a few days ago and it inspired me to get in the water ASAP. I've only speared a couple of times before (years ago in Sydney, off the rocks at Bondi), and although I've had my sling since then i've never got around to using it - until today.
I went down to Phillip Island (Sunderland Bay) and managed a good-sized leather-jacket (I think it was a 6 spined) within half an hour. It was a beautiful spot, though a bit murky. There was a great diversity of fish, but few I knew were edible (or worth eating, ie - lots of wrasse) - so I only ended up taking the few shots it took to get the LJ.
I would have loved to fish for longer, but was out by myself and started feeling a tad sketchy in the murk.
I'm going to try the reefs out the back of San Remo in a few days. If anyone has any tips for the area It'd be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
ps- thanks for the great site.
