hey everyone,
   
       so this November i'm turning 18 and i'm thinking of buying myself a speargun.  I have had this crazy idea that i would be able to sell the fish i catch from spearfishing as a minor summer job . In the past few years i've been free diving along the coast in different places to identify promising spearfishing spots and to practise holding my breath and stalking fish. What I would like to ask is , how realistic an idea this is in actual fact ?I've never used a speargun so i am not exactly sure how hard or easy it is to nail a fish from a distance.

Either way summer job or not what kind of speargun and equipment do you guys suggest for a beginner such as myself ? How do I apply for the license , because i haven't found much information online about the subject.

Thanks for the patience and help  :)

A bad day of fishing is better than a good day of work!

not worth it at all, the costs to buy all the equipment is far more expensive than selling the fish you catch,
not a good idea, sperafishing for relaixng and as hobby.

Imma ma dan kollu xorta nixtieq nibda l-ispearfishing bhala passatemp u ili hafna biex nixtri harpoon. Ituni xi tips jew xi haga fuq xiex nimxi  halli nkun infurmat sew qabel ma nixtri l-ewwel speargun? Naf li awn hafna ditti tahbin bhal Beuchat ,Cressi u Mares ....imma ma nifhimx sahta u ma nistax naghzel bejnithom.
