Took James for his first spearfish on Saturday. Visibility was a milky 2-4m, but we saw some rays, banjo sharks, an assortment of dart, luderick, bream, morwong, flathead and eels. I came close to pulling the trigger on a Luderick, but it wasn't to be.
I didn't start spearfishing until I was almost 30 and after hearing Steven Rinella (MeatEater) say "I feel I have wasted my life now that I know what I know about spearfishing, and I suck at it. It's not my fault. It's where I was born. But now, I realise that's what I should've done with my life." I thought I owed it James to start teaching him from a young age.
