Spearfishing

Thus far, my spearfishing in the intercoastal waters hasn't been affected by the oil. As long as that's the case, I'll keep on going when I can find the time. I've always enjoyed fishing with a rod and reel, and will probably continue to enjoy it throughout my life. However, when it comes to acquiring fish through my own efforts, I've really come to prefer spearfishing over any other approach. It's been a fun, challenging activity to share with friends. My friend Joe (pictured below) recently moved to Colorado, and I've missed sharing this with him. He's become a real expert with the pole spear over the past couple years. Here are a few photos of me with some of my friends I've gone spearfishing with this year, along with some of the fish we've caught:
