Spearfishing techniques

They have thick skulls, so usually through the eye or gills if you have your aim down. Otherwise a body shot at the expense of some meat.

They taste great!

Anyone know the South Carolina regulations on freshwater spearfishing? I always thought that wasn't an option but I have since heard you can spearfish in freshwater. Looked on the DNR site but its not really as clear as it should be.

Same as saltwater. Just stick to your limits. What in the world would you want to spear in freshwater besides big cats?

My dad says he knows a place near the mountains that has very large bass. He used to spearfish for years but hasn't gone in a while. He wants to start going again. I like to fish and dive so why not do both at the same time to pass some time.

Could they be mutated bass? Ill tempered mutated bass?

LOL...I don't know. I wouldnt mind going after some of those big cats down near the santee dam. I would prefer saltwater spearfishing but when those trips are few and far between you take what you can get.

DNR is totally contradicting their rule book about the freshwater spearfishing. According to them there are almost zero freshwater locations that you can spearfish from.
