Your thoughts on snorkeling and spearfishing?

[Clifonef]

I am neither a spearfisher nor an icefisher nor a fish nor a legislator, but I think the difference is:

The fish has a very slight chance of being speared through a relatively tiny hole in the ice.

The spearfisher can follow the fish or lurk in likely places and gets to choose his/her shot.

Then again, bubbling 6 lbs of air probably scares off a lot of fish.
