Beginner Spearfishing

[buddy13]

Hello mates 

I am just a beginner to apnea spearfishing. I have been swimming all my life & scuba diving for many years so know my way round the sea a bit I guess...

I am slowly updating my spearfishing gear & reading & learning as much as I can. I consider myself a very ethical diver & keeper of the sea. I always refrain from shooting small fish but I am not encountering 100kg sea monsters either, especially in the 4-10m range I dive in. Do you have a link to minimum fish sizes for say octopus, sea bream, vopi, mulett, burqax etc...

Also I have trained for a 3:20 static dry apnea time. However my apnea during spearfishing never exceeds 1:20, no matter how easy & relaxed I get...is this too short for someone with a 3+ minute static or is this normal?

Thanks!
