Keen2Learn 0 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 just wondering if people could tell me some good spots for spear fishing that are reasonably safe? and where I will still be able to get a decent feed for the family? have had a spear and flippers for ages and now it is warming up I would like to really get into it.thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pauly s 426 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 you cant go off any of the metro beaches, so local youll need a boat and be a confident freediver. im pretty sure its south of norlunga and north of outerhabour you can spearfish but you have to be 100m from any jetty. if you go on google maps youll be able to spot some reefs. try selicks reef, on a nice flat day its beautiful snorkleing theregoodluck its good fun Keen2Learn 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kadava 0 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 G'day mate,I've done a fair bit of spear fishing over on the Yorke Peninsula. I go to a spot called Barkers Rocks other side of Minlaton. There are schools of some kinda fish there (they eat sea weed) that follow the reef up and down, kinda a cross between a bream and a sweep haha. I've eaten them before, tasted ok but I'm not a big fish eater... plenty of meat on them. Other than that there's a few whiting if your a good shot and lucky enough. Flathead too but good luck spotting them. As for being safe well I never feel safe spearfishing lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kingsley 19 Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 you can spear anywhere south of the onkaparinga mouth, except 2nd valley and I think rapid bay? its outlined in the above link anyway.I've gone spearing around the rocky area just south of the mouth at noarlunga, and further down at moana but all I've managed to spear was a squid and some yellowfin whiting :DDid see a mulloway down at moana which was pretty cool.as for being safe... well, you are in the water, with dead fish... it comes with risk.
