Cheers Jamie

Mate I'd check your regs before you go, I've got a feeling that most of the southern bay is off limits to spearos, although i could well be wrong.

wearing underwater breathing apparatus other than a snorkel.Spear
fishing is prohibited in all fresh waters.Spear fishing is prohibited
in the following tidal areas (for precise boundaries consult the

Waters a bit too dirty around there. Closest good visability points are off G.C. Seaway or from Amity rock wall(not south of boat ramp) to point lookout. Good luck. ;)
