Hey Im coming Down to yallingup near dunsbrough and iw as wondering if there are any goo headlands to go for a spear at while im over there where i could pick up some Sambos and macks, by the way you have great vids cheers

@NTspearo1

Hey bud. What time are you coming down? You won't usually pick up macks down that way although early this year with freakishly warm currents a few were speared. There are a few good headlands there and further south, swim enough and you'll bump into a sambo. Remember oct 15th to dec 15th is a demersal species closure, no dhu, snapper, foxfish, cod, ect ect are allowed to be speared, King George Whiting and sambos are about it... Good luck!

I dont think I could shoot Blue Grouper just because they so f'ing slow...Its like a massive neon sign with the same mentality of a Morwong. I rekon there would be hardly any if they allowed you to shoot em here.... every weekend warior with a handspear would fill them with pranga holes.

I dont mind burleying up silver drummer cause they tick all the boxes for the job but have you ever had them in big chunks with southern style batter mix, one big guy will feed the whole crew on a bad day ;) lol

@bluesirsanchez

Mate you'd be surprised how hard blues are to get close to sometimes... I felt the same way you do until I moved over here and realised they are one of the most common fish in southern waters. The reef here stretches the whole length of the coast unlike NSW where there are isolated headlands/reefs that can be speared out. There's just too much reef here for that to happen. Thankfully we don't usually have a day slow enough to warrant eating silver drummer! Haha!

@underseaash

Meant to ask to, do you use flashers when you go out?

[underseaash]

@bluesirsanchez

Yeah sometimes, depends where we're diving and what we're chasing...

Wahoo definately love them.

@underseaash

Their hard to get close to there because they know their not protected, I pretty much guarantee I can poke every big Blue Grouper I see here.

I acknowledge your point but the sheer number of people fishing these waters now is rediculous...Sydney pretty much boarders the Central Coast now and when theres good conditions its hard to get to a spero spot first not to mention the pole smokers.

hahahaha ah well, Id prolly turn em down to if I had the endless other delicous species filmed.
