Speargun Rubber Repair - Pictorial

Pictorial on how to repair/replace speargun rubbers with a dyneema bridle.


Where can you shore spearfish around Perth?

Burns beach and Iluka has a lot of inshore reef!

(Google earth research)

 

But upon arrival there were **signs that said no spearfishing...**

 

Where NOR can you shore free dive and spear fish?

Preferably I don't want to go further than two rocks...

newbi spots

hey guys....finally got all my gear sorted, was up at exxy hoping to break it in, but the weather gods were pretty dang angry and had no opportunity....
wondering if anyone can suggest some spots for a begginner around the metro area... I have a boat, but shore based also appealing.
cheers!!


rubbers

 Hey guys, quick question....

i have a double rubber gun (one of the rob allan tuna rail guns), was wondering if it matters if both the rubbers arent exactly the same length? i have the 2 that came with it, but found them quite diffiuclt to load (im a novice so my technique needs improving) so i bought another rubber very slightly longer....

is it ok to use the longer rubber to reach the farthest notch and the shorter on the one slightly closer?? this would make it a bit easier for me, but dont want to effect accuracy etc, if this is the case i will just buy a second longer rubber, but was hoping to not have to spend any more.

would be great to get your thoughts!

cheers

Spearfishing Exmouth land based

 Hi everyone,

 

heading to exmouth from the 8th - 13th of April from Queensland. Just wondering where I would be able to spearfish as I am land based. Also what should I expect to encounter? Don't dive very deep only like 6m max but would love to get in for a paddle while I'm over there. 

 

Thanks in advance.

starter spearfishing advice

 Hey guys, I have recently found out how great free-diving and spearfishing is. I have been using my gidgee but would like to purchase a speargun. I have beeen trying to find the age limit for a speargun use but I can't find it, any info regarding this would be a big help. Also any suggestions for a decent beginers gun would be good.

Cheers, Max


belt cleaning

While abaloning I found a dive belt with weights and stainless buckle. Weights and buckle are no problem but the belt had seaweed growing thru it. I've scrapped it off and used mild bleach solution to kill what's left. It's now sunning for a little bit. Anyone got any idea how to get the rest of the green bits left as I gather it will be roots etc in between the weave. Belt is otherwise in reasonable nick.
