  • i think the issue with the Blue Gropers (blue wrasse) is that over here in NSW it's illegal to plugg them because they are soo dopey you can hand feed them. also there is a $20,000 fine to taking one.

    but i under stand that they can be quite flighty over in WA and that its completely legal to grab one.

    good fish and i hope this clears up some shit

  • @MrLazyj It is a wierd debate this one. It's the same with people who shoot sharks or wobbies etc. Everyone has a view point. Blues over here are much the same as Dhuies, Baldies, Queenies and other dermersals. If you sit on the bottom they will come in to check you out. I aim just to get enough fish to have a feed for me and the family for a couple of nights. We move about and don't hammer spots. At present the Blues are a legal catch as are Baldies, Pinks, Dhuies etc. I recon nets do more harm

  • @dstick1 it's not really that weird. it's just that eastern blue groper are illegal to take and western are not. they are pretty much a different species. however in NSW the blue groper is our state fish, and clearly anyone who has commented negatively about taking blues are from places where you can't

  • @MrLazyj I understand what you are saying, but the debate rages over here as well and not all comments are from the eastern states. The same noises are made about spearing on gas etc. I guess my point is that who are we to criticize others about thier enjoyment of a legal activity. It would be like me having a crack at people who spear crayfish. I appreciate your input, wierd was probably the wrong choice of word. I'm all for sustainable fishing. I enjoy the sport and eating the prizes cheers

  • you guys are awesome. i like the new gun!!

  • @matthewrogers897 Mate it is a ripper, Skip is happy with it. We have been using a new weapon of late that has been a ball tearer! Will be posting new videos soon :)

  • @rhysospear Cheers mate, We've got a pretty thick skin these days. I just laugh that people think Blues are the only fish that will swim right up to you when you are diving. We try not to over indulge ourselves.

    Cheers for watching the vids :)

  • nice vid mate. dont worry about the haters that just jealous coz they dont have the skill to spear fish like that themselves, if i see a nice groper there is no way im not gonna shoot it!

  • @dhempton dude...shut up. lots of fish swim around divers,its called curiosity.
