besides 100' from the shore? you need a salt water license. what are you targeting? a lot of sport fish are not allowed to spear.
spearboard.com might be a good resource. -but honestly, on the west coast most spear-able fish are deep off shore.

The 100' pretty well settles it as we're bringing the family to a condo on Anna Marie. Unless I can find a boat, we're not planning to trailer ours. Thanks for the response.
actually, its 100yards from a beach, IIRC not a shore. not sure about docks...
