Hi guys,
Im new to spearfishing and am looking at getting a decent 2nd hand gun. I would prefer a gun around 1m but I would consider something 90cm. Pretty much, tv shows such as 'spearing the menu' and 'hunters and gatherers' dvd, have made me want to see what this sport is all about. Im a lino and have done a lot of line fishing(90% LB) in Victoria so I have a decent knowledge of fish species plus also a few spots but just need to get my gear before I can spear something
I used to do bit of swimming when I was younger(over 10yrs ago)so Im pretty much a noob at diving and spearing so I will try to make it down to one of your meetings and introduce myself and hopefully pick up a few pointers.
Im looking at spending around $200 but if something really good comes up I would consider spending more.
Im thinking of getting my wetty, mask/snorkel and a few bits and pieces at legendary. I went in there a cpl weeks back and they had some excellent advice and there was no 'high pressure sales' techniques which I really liked. If anyone has some decent flippers in a US size 9-10 and a decent dive float(preferrably large and brightly coloured) I am also interested. Im a bit hesitant to spend up as Im only a beginner and hope to upgrade to better as I become more competent.
Anyway, thanks for reading, and I hope to meet up with some of the characters from here.
