Spearing sole

[Gatiepie2]

1 Does one need a licence?

2. How many are allowed per day?

3 What is the size limit?

Any hints and tips re finding and catching these critters.

Your help is most appreciated

Brilliant question!

I remember reading somewhere in the Regs that you may not catch a fish with a spear and from what I understand, this meant a hand held spear.

I reckon your post office permit for spearfishing would cover you!

Well size limit is irrelevant, cos you're not gonna be able to release it once you've stuck it full of holes. This is of interest to me as I have a sole spike but im clueless as to the correct technique, times etc
