I have just moved to Melbourne for study purposes and once i found there was such a big spearo community here decided to bring my guns back from Tanzania where they were not getting any use given am barely ever there. I have a 1M Rob allen Zulu which i use for reefs etc. but am also bringing back my 1.4 Rob allen Tuna which i only used for blue water hunting. Seeing i havent actually set foot in the water yet i just wanted to ask will my 1.4 get any use in Melbourne given i dont have a boat? Are there any big fish in victorian waters orr?
any advice would be appreciated!
