im sure the way the rules are written, you can spearfish if you are 100yds or more from shore. if not than you cant.
just to make sure, ask park ranger.

You cannot have a speargun in a state park (they can give you a ticket and take your equipment away), you can park by the pier, enter the beach just south of the park and swim out to the euro jaks or reef if you want...

you can spear there, you just cant park inside the park or go into the property with a speargun.... you have to enter the water just south of the park (like i said, park by the pier) then you can swim out parallel to the state park, there is no laws that can keep you from spearfishing in that area.. if you dont believe me you can talk to the park rangers and ask them if you can spearfish there if you parked by the pier and never enter park property (the ocean is not park property)....

Be careful how close you are to shore. Most, if not all, Florida State Parks have jurisdiction 400ft from "Mean High Water or Ordinary High Water Line within the riparian lines of any state park unit". Just something to be aware of. Wether or not they choose to get picky and enforce it is another matter.

I was a state park ranger for the State of Florida for a short time when I lived up north...I like citing the rules roflmao.

PS: A buoy line doesn't necessarily mean the perimeter of the state parks jurisdiction (400ft out from mean High Water yadda yadda), it may very well be nothing more than a designated safe area for swimmers.
