Spearfishing Laws - where can I find them?

[DiveGal]

The hubby and I are headed for Flordia City this weekend and I've been trying to find web sites with the spearfishing laws as they pertain to the Miami/Key Largo area.

I've read that we have to be 3 miles off of Key Largo to hunt (outside of state waters) and outside of the Pennekamp borders. But at what northern point does this law start? And where can I find the bounderies of Pennekamp?

Can anyone help here?

Most dive charts will show the boundaries of Pennekamp. Check out a Top Spot chart. Basically, Pickles Reef is the first identifiable reef structure that you can start to spear on once you get out of Pennekamp going south. Good luck.

Pulled out the Top Spot and, yep, there it is! Thanks.

One down.

At what northern point does the 3 mile law start? Since we're staying in Florida City, we thought maybe we'd do some hunting outside of Biscayne Bay. Is north of Carysfort effected by the 3 mile law?

Just wanna make sure we don't piss off Johnny-Law. That would put a damper on the ol' holiday spirit!
