Hey guys.

I have become real interested in spear fishing and want to give it ago. Just need some info. Is there a good shop or internet shop in brisbane or up the sunny coast to buy gear. Also is there a map on places that your allowed to spear fish up the coast and Brisbane and maybe a good place to start as a first timer. Any info would be great.
Cheers Philpy

Hi Philpy,
Adreno (www.spearfishing.com.au) are really good for spearfishing gear. They are pretty cheap and have a really good selection of guns and wetsuits.
Up on the sunny coast, give the gneerings and local reefs a try you will usually get some Macks this time of year. Make sure you have a float and flag though, as there can be a lot of traffic out there.
Also, we have a local spearfishing club started up (last year was our first year), so give me a PM and I will pass on the contact details.

Cheers,
Brett

Located in Spain but awesome service and prices if you don't mind shopping overseas.
Adreno are great if you prefer to stay in Aus., very friendly service as well.
Not sure where you are located but it might be a while before the water clears up enough to spearfish.
Cheers.
