was out again today with my spear, saw a monster but it got away before i got close enough, had a go at two smaller ones but the spear bounced off them, it must be getting dull from being under water. Im going to have to get some sort of metal trident on the shaft.

 

Regarding using the waders i dont think it would work, you need to have your head under water to see them, they are masters of camoflague. They can be anywhere on the bottom when the tide comes in, rocks or just sand.

 

 

Ive heard of the stepping on the fish technique, it was used here in the old days.

That catapult spear is a good idea im going to google it. If i cant find it maybe your can make me a wee drawing of the apparatus.

Try using sharpened bycycle spokes, they're made from hardened steel and will last for ever. When I was working in Mozambique the locals used to stab each other in the heart with them, not reccomended!

Thats some selection, where was that?

Something like is that what i had in mind before the spoke idea.

But some of those would be a bit big for the average flat fish.
