or Spearfishing on the cheap! Went out spearfishing last week. As I;m currently working in saudi arabia my equipment selection is very slim. I have an OLD 2 prong polespear, a flimsy peice of crap, and some very very old Cressi gara fins. below is an hour's work in some nasty water. 88F water temp, 6ft deep and about 6ft of viz. hardly ideal, but these are my childhood spearing grounds and going back to using a cheap polespear again brought back many memories....

Are the ones on the right some kind of Snapper? or Grouper? which ever they are they look tastier that the other one's.

IIRC, the one with the yellow fins is supposed to be something special, is that right Amphib? Fred

the brown fish that loook like bass are a smaller species of Grouper. the yellow fish is a Black Banded Sea Bream, simmilar to the "porkfish" you find in Florida. the flat fish are called Flatheads.
