The telescoping fishing harpoon is a harpoon that allows for a variety of lengths to be utilized by a user. The harpoon includes a telescoping body constructed from two hollow tubes that are detachably engaged to each other through the use of a spring detent and a series of corresponding holes. Attached to the telescoping shaft is a standard harpoon shaft with a tapered head for receiving a standard harpoon dart. The telescoping shaft also incorporates a weighted dowel that assists the user in accurately spearing a desired target. The harpoon further incorporates a series of hand grips and line clips for increased control and safety for the user.

1. A telescoping fishing harpoon, comprising:an outer tube having a proximal first end and a distal second end, and having a hollow interior and a groove formed in the interior extending from the first end to the second end, the outer tube having a plurality of spaced apertures defined therein offset radially from the groove; an inner tube having a proximal first end and a distal second end, the inner tube being telescopingly disposed within the outer tube; a first detent pin resiliently extending from the inner tube and selectively engaging one of the apertures defined in the outer tube in order to selectively lock the inner and outer tubes at a selected length; a second detent pin extending from the inner tube and aligned with the groove in the outer tube in order slide longitudinally along the groove, thereby maintaining the first detent pin in radial alignment with the apertures defined in the outer tube; a solid cylindrical dowel having a proximal first end and distal second end, and having a cylindrical bore defined therein extending axially into the dowel from the distal end of the dowel, the dowel being fixed within the inner tube with the distal end of said dowel being in planar alignment with the distal end of said inner tube; a shaft having a proximal first end and a distal second end, and having a tapered head at the distal end, the proximal end of the shaft being removably inserted into the bore defined in the dowel, the distal end of the shaft extending from the inner tube; and a dart having a proximal first end and a distal second end, dart being removably disposed on the tapered head of the shaft. 2. The telescoping fishing harpoon according to claim 1, wherein said outer tube further comprises a first hand grip mounted to the proximal end of said outer tube.3. The telescoping fishing harpoon according to claim 2, wherein said outer tube further comprises a second hand grip mounted to said outer tube between the proximal and distal ends thereof.4. The telescoping fishing harpoon according to claim 3, wherein said outer tube further comprises a third hand grip member mounted adjacent the distal thereof.5. The telescoping fishing harpoon according to claim 1, further comprising a plurality of clips permanently affixed to said outer tube and said inner tube in an axially alignment, the clips being adapted for securing a fishing line thereto.6. The telescoping fishing harpoon according to claim 1, wherein said dart has an aperture defined therein adapted for securing a fishing line to said dart.7. The telescoping fishing harpoon according to claim 1, wherein the cylindrical bore defined in said dowel is internally threaded.8. The telescoping fishing harpoon according to claim 1, wherein the proximal end of said shaft is externally threaded.9. The telescoping fishing harpoon according to claim 1, further comprising:a first hand grip disposed on the proximal end of said outer tube, the first grip having an end wall and a centrally located aperture defined in the end wall; and a resilient loop secured to the proximal end of said outer tube and extending through the aperture defined in the end wall of said first hand grip for retention to a safety rope.
