[net.rec.scuba] spear fishing problem

richa@tekid.UUCP (Richard Austin) (08/23/83)

	   Hello Folks.

	   I have just recently started diving off the Oregon coast.
	I enjoy spear fishing, but am somewhat concerned about carrying
	chum next to me in waters where sharks are known to occasionally
	frequent.

	   What I am wondering is this: do people who dive down off the
	California coast worry about it?  Do you carry the speared fish
	with you in a goody bag, or make a float and surface after every
	kill and store the fish there?

	   The float idea would work ok, except in kelp... any ideas?
	Comments?



						   Thanx,
