Illegal my ass. Make Spearfishin manditory.

Can't say that I can always agree with that... SOMETIMES I can catch them fairly easily, even using powerpro and a 20lb test mono leader...other times I can't even get them to feed using 4lb mono and #12 hook with live fiddlercrabs or live shrimp.  There are times when they are very skittish, and refuse to even look at a bait.  So, while I may not bowhunt or spearfish, there are some frustrating times that I wish I did!

If its "not very hard at all" could you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Mankind was stabbin fish with sharp instruments 1000's of years before we invented poles and reels, and hooks. It is the most primal and pure way of fishing, when you put yourself in the fishes world, and hunt and shoot, not lure and trap with a hook. And when you give the fish an oppurtinity to hurt you also. And to have to fight a large fish underwater and finish him when he is doing everything possible to save his own life, mortal combat. Or in worst cases, become part of the food chain.

It is hand-to-hand soldiercrawlingthrutheswampknifestrappedonlegweaponinhandallout stalking combat. Not flying over safely in an airplane at 3,000 feet dropping a bomb. Not that I have anything againts our forces who do that nessacary part of a good wartime offence, or anything againts fishing with a pole. I fish also, but admittely suck ass at it.

But personally if I was bear hunting,(read=getting fish) I would rather stalk him thru the woods on his level, (read=jump in the water) and take him,(read=shoot with a speargun) instead of set a baited trap with a snare,(read=drop a hook with bait on it) safely wait in my cabin,(read=sit in the boat) and then dispatch him onces I have him caught (read=pull him in the boat and put him in the icebox).

I can see you are irritated at spearfishers, but we all share the water. I am irritated to see tons of red snapper die when I am on a wreck because either they didn't make it from being yanked up a 120', or the dolphins ate em when they were thrown back. I am irritated to see under there TONS of mono line, hooks, sinkers all snagged up on structure. But I am even responsible for some of that line from my breakoffs. Unless they change laws, we will be sharing the same water, and will need to coexist and put up with the little things that the other persons choice of sport causes. 

I can live with it without complaining about fishermen. And also tell any on a spot I'm diving what is down there, where exactly at, and how high or low in the water colum. Can you?
