Fisherman using spears soon learn not to aim their spear at the fish. Why?

Answers:

Take a glass of water and stick a spoon, straw whatever in it. It'll appear as if it bends at the water's surface. This is due to refraction. If you're standing in shallows and spearing fish or flounder jigging, you have to take it into consideration or you'll never hit what you're aiming for.
