Hi, I'm new to spearfishing and am heading upto Cape Conran camping for ny's tomorrow morning. I was curious as to whether there are any good spearfishing spots off the beach, I have a boat also but would prefer to dive from the shore. Is it a marine park off the shore?

Any advice or tips would be much appreciated.

Sam

Anywhere around the cape conran area is good, plenty of fish around there mate

Keep your eyes open for these cheeky buggers !!

Seals are more of a problem at Conron. There is a big colony of them less than a k out. It would be a bloody good spot if you didn't have a 50/50 chance of having your catch stolen.

boat float would solve that issue

IRB and an esky full of ice works even better and you don't die from exhaustion towing it. Not everyone has that luxury though.

A boat float keeps your fish out of the water and it's easier to tow than a float with a stringer.

Lmao, seals aren't the problem! When I was there I berleyed 2 fish and had a 5ft Bronzy come in. That was the end of my berleying adventure.

Berleyed as in chopping them up?

Also, will a dead fish floating on my stringer not moving attract sharks? Just curious

I dunno Alan......last time I saw your boat float, it looked anything BUT easy to tow through the water.

Watto I've been there more times than I can count. I've seen more seals there than anywhere else and had my fish taken there quite a few times. Never seen a shark there though.

Berleying- chopping up fish to attract other species.

At least there's a warning there Greg for people that are diving the state titles,
There's seals and sharks to worry about

That was an exceptional circumstance Brett:)
