Spearfishing

[KROBI]

Anyone spearfish? I got a spear gun for Christmas and I'm ready to shoot something!!

That's definitely something I'm interested in. I may buy one this spring and give it a try. Laurel Lake Spillway would be a perfect place to practice.

Last year when I was in Pensacola/Destin I saw some guys spearfishing at the Destin Jetties and they had some massive hogfish.

Made me think... It sure would make a dive trip just about perfect to set around the campfire at night and have some fresh seafood for dinner!

That's how the whole fish fry conversation came up last year.

We just don't want to go there again.....

The batter LandLock made, which we were forbidden to use by one person. I used later and it was real good..

Thanks for the link!

It says this about spearfishing:

"SPEAR FISHING (301 KAR 1:410)

Underwater spearing of rough fish with hand-held or mechanically propelled spear is permitted year-round, but only in lakes having 1,000 surface acres or more. All participants in this sport must be submerged while spear fishing. Only rough fish may be taken and the appropriate fishing license is required. The daily limit is 15 fish of which only 5 may be catfish."

Anyone know what "rough fish" are?
