Are there licensing requirements for spear fishing in Florida? I'd love to head down for a "learn and hunt" session this spring.
Pompano Dive Center has a charter fishing license for their boat, so divers can hunt without a license. There may be other dive boats in FL that have a charter license.
I've speared them through with three prongs and seen them swim away, can't say if they actually recovered. They have spines on the dorsal, anal and pelvic fins. None on the tail or pectorals (which are the large feathery side fins).
