Hey Johnny,
Smiths Beach is where my freinds and i usually spear. I love the area, its has alot of variety in both terrain and fish. I have never gone there and been dissapointed, always came home with at least 5 X 35cm+ fish. YUMMY on the BBQ!!!
The only thing i recommend is, not just at P. Island but in general, NEVER spear alone!!! Its way dodgy!! Plus, at P. Island the current and tide can chage very quickly and the water loses viz very quickly. I remember going out one time, spearing a fish, and by the time i got back in the water to go get another you couldnt see a thing. I swam out again (like an idiot), got stuck on the reef rocks bout 15m out from the shore, and got thrown around on them by the current! I cut my legs up and was bleeding quite a bit. And i had to swim to shore in water i couldnt see the end of my hand in, bleeding...not a good idea!!
Sharks love such scenarios...
So dont swim alone because if ur in trouble...it could be your leg or arm at stake...maybe even ur life mate. Its not worth it.
Other than that....SMITHS IS GREAT!!! lol
