Re: Kayak Spearing Fort Lauderdale - help me out?

The law reads "Within 100 yards of a public swimming beach, any commercial or public fishing pier, or any part of a bridge from which public fishing is allowed." Some guys like to extrapolate this rule to include all beach and shoreline unnecessarily limiting themselves. I like to legally spear areas that others mistakenly believe they can't spearfish.

Many guys also mistakenly think that you cannot spearfish under any bridges at all where the law clearly states that you may not spear "Within 100 yards of any part of a bridge from which public fishing is allowed." Many bridges dont allow fishing and those are legal to spear.

These are general florida rules some counties and cities have additional restrictions.

follow this link and click th local laws tab and search for your area.
