Were are you goin to be using it, Baltimore? They are illegal to have in FLorida
You need to check the local wild life regs, Florida FWC Florida IWldelife Commision.
You cannot even posess a spear or spear gun in fresh water as it is illegal to spearfish in fresh water.
they are very strick with a zero tollerance. For example ,.. if they catch you with a out of season fish, wrong size etc on your boat , they will porsecute. terrorists, .. tourists want to boat tarpon , big reds , grouper for photos, this is dangerous for the fish as their bodies cannot handle the weight of being removed from the water and put back in. It is illegal to have these fish, harvest, so there is no reason to boat them.
You won't get away from it. There are rewards for reporting violators, eve n boaters drinking.
Spring break is going on down here. I was boating yesterday with a bunch of tourists almost running into me in my boat, then keeping everythng they catch no matter what size. I have a radio and use it to call in for the calvery.
I live here and want to protect our resources from the millions that come down once to rape our area.
FLorida fishing weekly had an item on a shark feeding where a lawyer was eaten by a shark.
We have a lot of suveniors down here with sharks saying send more tourists. Hell we can't even get the dive charters to let us take spear guns when tourists are on board.
I don't think the bang stick would prevent the shark from eating any tourists, actually when attacked they never see it coming, alone get a chance to use such a thing.
They should allow the tourists to carry the bang stick,.. I am sure they would manage to kill a few tourists with it.
