Today had a flash of inspiration - I need a spear gun......

Brought spear gun, went fishing, kingie having a go at burley bag - again. Tried my limited skills to catch it (pillies, squid, 2x lures, a jig and a livie (which a bird got....) ) again wouldn't take anything.
Spear gun over the back, first shot (and first shot ever of a spear gun) mis. Second shoot - right behind the eye. 90cm kingie. No pics as it got abit interesting from then......

Tasted very nice last night for dinner.....

Gun/ spear about 400mm in water, my hand was well dry.
I think a bit of a fluke, but I did aim

I had already tied a 8m lent of 12mm dock line onto the gun, and pleased i did , as had to let the gun go, to save dinging the motor up. The bloody thing then wrapped it's self around the burly pot and every line out, before we got it in. Quite a experience.......

Oh and this was the aftermath

Inc 57cm snap, just under the kingies tail.

I could be wrong but I think they are only sopost to be loaded/fired in the water?

Not to sure on that.
It worked, and it's not broken now.

However the aiming is a bit tricky, due to refraction of the water.

Just put the tip in the water thirty centimetres and aim the tip at the fish. Et voila le poisson est harponné.

Good fishing today. Best of the bunch...

Nice fish.

It is said"a picture is worth a thousand words"but this has no mention of silly chinamen,two of which were not even hooked,they clamped down on the 5 bar 0 horizontal and were not going to give up the bait.
Or the hoards of spikey dogs.one got me in the wrist.
Good day,water 11.5 ° no wind wee northerly swell.
