Where to polespear in the river (Brevard)?

Was hook n lining w/ my brother in law over the weekend and the river was pretty clear. We ended up at the eastern most relief bridge at the Eau Galle CW and there were sheepies everywhere around the rocks. I had my suit and mask (no spear) w/ me so I hopped in to get a look at em and was surprised at the amount/size of them. Granted I know it's not legal to spear there but I figured I'd give it a shot if I could find a legal spot next time the river clears up.

I think he's talking about the Intracoastal or Indian River. It's salt water, but I think still illegal to spear...

must be 1500 feet from the bridge or any fishing pier to spear in the river

i think everywhere els but the channel is fair game

pretty sure that it is ok near a bridge as long as fishing is not allowed there or accessible... 99%
