Spearing Octopus whilst freediving or SCUBA

 Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen

I have searched Fishwrecked and also the WA Fisheries sites and am reasonably certain that I am legal to either spear (gidgee / Hawaiin Sling) in the Cockburn Sound area, but not near Garden Island. Anyone have a different opinion?
Cheers

Not too sure to be honest, but I think the Fisheries should make a sign with a map of the metro area highlighting all the spots of which you can and can't spear or net and stick them at all the groynes and rockwall carparks etc. 
Have you caught many occo's recently ?
