[edit] Speargun
- I'm not sure why speargun redirects here and doesn't have it's own page. If no one minds I am going to spin speargun off into it's own page. Beatdown 20:00, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
- yes please do it. There is much to know about spearguns not directly relevant to this page. (yugyug, not logged in)
- I have put the speargun stuff in speargun. Anthony Appleyard 13:01, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Miscellaneous
- This article doesn't seem to contain any mention of the kind of spear fishing illustrated in the image. This is still practiced especially as an ice fishing technique. I can't see how to easily integrate this into the current article however. Rmhermen 16:23, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
- Perhaps a section for indigenous methods of spearfishing should be started. This would mainly comprise above ground techniques as practised by the Australian aborigines. Care should be taken to seperate it from the modern underwater sport however. - yugyug (not logged in though).
[edit] History section
The history section is absurd. Why does the most ancient form of fishing have a history that only starts in the 1960s? --86.138.30.6 (talk) 22:23, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, I agree. I have renamed the History section "Contemporary spear fishing", added a new History section, and added another new section called "Traditional spear fishing". This last section needs more work. --Geronimo20 (talk) 05:51, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
