Re: Flounder in Port Phillip
Hi
We used to go at Rosebud with a good underwater light.
Got a tractor tube and made a carrier for the centre to support a battery and the flounder.
Watch out for your toes with the spread, multipointed hand spear

Re: Flounder in Port Phillip
Tractor tube is a good idea. How did you go about waterproofing the battery and terminals? Did you use pre-made bag?
Re: Flounder in Port Phillip
Blow the tractor or truck tube up well and make a frame across the top to hold a basket or similar well clear of the water so the battery etc is not in the water.
Dont need water proof fittings as you attach a rope and pull the the tube from some meters away with rope around the waist.
Hold spear in right hand and light (with its lead longer than the rope)under water on the end of a handle. Move slow and smooth sweeping light back and forth and spear a feed.
Enjoy
Cheers
