Years ago I did the spearfishing on the reef about 1 mile west of Booby cay. Then fish were plentiful and I would grab lobster by the Antennae that waved around from holes in the reef. I would grab them quickly and hold on tight as not to let them rake my hand. Today I believe that one could help the reef by spear fishing the Lionfish that have moved in. The reef itself is fished quite hard and there are few large fish there now, and the ones that are there are needed. Read up on lionfish as they have venomous spines and need to be handled with care although I understand that they are quite delish.
