|
Spearfishing today employs modern and more effective elastic or pneumatic powered spearguns and slings to strike the hunted fish. Spearfishing may be done using free-diving, snorkeling, or scuba diving techniques. Because of a view that there is a lack of sportsmanship in some modern spearfishing techniques, the use of mechanically powered spearguns is outlawed in some jurisdictions. Spearfishing is highly selective, with a low amount of unintended by-catch. With education and proper regulations, spearfishing can be an ecologically sustainable form of fishing. Float on top of the crystal clear waters of Catalina Island and swim with the sea life in our local kelp beds and reefs. If your a hunter, bring your spear-gun and try your luck at some of the popular Homeguard Yellowtail, among other species. We are known for our spearfishing charters and continue to satisfy our hunters. Therefore, they repeat their trips year after year and book way in advance for that special time. Please contact us for availability and we will be happy to accommodate you. |
Spearfishing is an ancient method of fishing that has been used throughout the world for millennia. Early civilizations were familiar with the custom of spearing fish from rivers and streams using sharpened sticks.
