Spearing
Spearing is a general term that includes bow
fishing, gigging, spearfishing (underwater), or
the use of any other device to capture a fish by
piercing its body. Spearing does not include
snagging or snatch hooking by hook and line.
Marine species harvested by spearing are subject to the same recreational regulations (e.g.,
bag limits, size limits, and closed seasons) as
those marine species that are harvested by any
other type of recreationally-allowed gear. The
following is a list of species or groups of species
that are prohibited from harvest by all forms
of spearing in state waters:
ʄ All prohibited species (listed on p. 11-14)
ʄ Billfish and swordfish (all species)
ʄ Bonefish
ʄ Crab (blue, stone)
ʄ Caribbean spiny lobster (Panulirus argus)
ʄ Permit
ʄ Pompano (Florida and African)
ʄ Red drum
ʄ Sharks (all species including dogfish)
ʄ Snook
ʄ Spotted seatrout
ʄ Tarpon
ʄ Tripletail
ʄ Weakfish
ʄ Marine life species (listed on p. 22)
* Volusia County — You may not harvest by
spearing in Volusia County inland waters
with the exception of flounder and sheepshead, and only by the use of a barbed spear
with three or fewer prongs.
* Special Local Laws also prohibit harvest by
spearing in specific areas (Visit MyFWC.com/
Fishing and select "Saltwater," "Recreational
Regulations," "Full Text Rule by Species" and
"Local Laws.")
Spearfishing
Spearfishing is a specific form of “spearing”
defined as “the catching or taking of a fish
through the instrumentality of a hand or
mechanically propelled, single or multi-pronged
spear or lance, barbed or barbless, operated by
a person swimming at or below the surface
of the water.” In addition to the harvest species
limitations above, you may not spearfish:
ʄ For any species that cannot be harvested by
spearing (see Spearing above).
ʄ For any species (freshwater or marine) in
freshwater. Possession of spearfishing equipment in or on freshwater is also prohibited.
ʄ Within the upper Keys no-spearfishing
zone, which includes all state waters from
the Miami-Dade County line down to and
including Long Key.
ʄ Within 100 yards of any designated public
bathing beaches, commercial or public
fishing piers, or portions of bridges where
fishing is allowed.
ʄ Within 100 feet of the unsubmerged portion
of any jetty, except that spearing is allowed
along the last 500 yards of any jetty that extends
more than 1,500 yards from the shoreline.
ʄ In or on any body of water under the jurisdiction of the Division of Recreation and
Parks of the Department of Environmental
Protection. Within these areas, the possession of spearfishing equipment is also prohibited except when such equipment is unloaded and is properly stored upon watercraft passing nonstop through the area.
ʄ Within the no-take areas of the Florida
Keys National Marine Sanctuary (Visit:
www.floridakeys.noaa.gov.)
ʄ Within any area where spearfishing is prohibited by a Special Local Law (Visit MyFWC.
com/Fishing and select "Saltwater," "Recreational Regulations," "Full Text Rule by Species" and "Local Laws.")
Powerheads, Bangsticks, Rebreathers
Harvest with the use of powerheads, bangsticks or rebreathers is prohibited in state
waters, except that rebreathers are allowed
for the harvest of lionfish. Within state waters,
powerheads and bangsticks can be used for
personal protection only, and cannot be used
to harvest any species.
