Title: Spearfishing as a summer job
Post by: greenhorn 94 on October 14, 2012, 10:33:38 CET
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  :)

it is illegal to sell fish caught by spearfishing.

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.

Nies  jien ma kontx qed nohodha bhala opportunita' ta xol sejru  ... plus inutli issa li naf li ilegali. 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.

Mur sa ghand L-M&A bugibba u staqsi ghal Jason.
Jghinek zgur u mhux bilfors tixtri, imma jaghtik parir tajjeb u tara b'ghajnejk.
Jekk trid semmini.
Good luck mate.
