good morning everyone welcome back to the channel i know it's been quite a while since i last
made a video but the weather's been terrible something quite exciting i've teamed up with
crab from australia and they've very kindly sent out some slings for me to use so today
is going to be the first time trialling these um already carrying the gun down from the car
with the bag was like 10 times easier normally i've got carrot in one hand and scrambled down
the rocks with the other but this time i had two hands free and it just made
it a lot easier so i'm excited to see what it's like just carrying it down to the rocks
getting in and out the water with with both hands instead of you know just just the one
so without further ado i'm gonna get in the water
because i'm sweating my tits off in there we'll get in see what's around
first dive down i noticed a fish coming towards me and it turns out it was a bass
but it kept its distance and unfortunately didn't come close enough span around and swam off
i would be interested to find out if anybody knows what the high pitch noise is in the background
i was convinced that it was some kind of whale but after watching a few videos
and doing a little bit of research online it sounds like more of a sonar from a submarine
let me know your thoughts in the comment
section
not long later i noticed the bus poking its head out from the kelp
and i slowly approach it missed it
take the shot but unfortunately i think something went wrong with the
with the rubber and the monofilament line so i move off to a different location i actually go
and check the hole where the big lobster is normally living but unfortunately it wasn't
there this time whether it's been taken or it's moved off to a different place i don't know but as
i was swimming back up i noticed just above the hole there was a brown crab sitting on a ledge
i decided to take this one back to the beach and cook it up
okay so i just got back in um not a bad dive to be honest saw a few bass at the start quite small
uh missed the bass and then uh found quite a nice sized crowd which i'm going to cook up in a minute
also found one of my old drop weights uh which is funny because it's been there for
well it's been there a whole year now since the last lockdown or the first stop done i
missed a very nice sized bus um i dived down into a gully with my torch first not the gun
looking for lobsters and as i dived down this bus was literally just sat there looking at me
and i was almost upside down so it was a bit of an awkward angle so i had to bring the gun around
uh very slowly to try and get above it you know i was staring at it for about 10 seconds
thinking when's it gonna go when's it gonna go and literally just as i brought my gun back around
press the trigger it did like a 360 and you know the spear went well you missed it to be honest so
yeah not a bad dive it's nice to see the bass or back
it's so nice to get back in the in the water especially after these uh these last couple
of weeks but the weather's been absolutely awful um you know the visual isn't that bad
quite a lot of life around um so yeah i'm excited for this season hopefully we can
catch yourself a nice bass and not miss them like i just did but then as you can see the
spear sling coming in handy again you know if i wasn't holding the camera now i would have
two spare hands you know making it nice and easy to climb around the rocks
so highly recommend getting one myself if you're a sure diver i'm all for it i think
they're really good well made and you know they packed down very easily afterwards so
i'm gonna get back to my bag we'll get the gas cooker set up um cook up the crab
and have some lunch okay so we're back changed and ready to cook up the uh the crab which i caught
earlier i bought a big pot with me today in my uh rucksack which i carry down with me along with
my spear fishing kit in it i've got some gas gas cooker some stuff to cook up with the crab pasta
and some butter garlic and salt and pepper so what i'm gonna do is fill up this with some salt water
so
so what i'm doing here is adding the pasta back onto the
if i had a bigger dish or another dish i would have put the uh
pasta in that but i forgot to bring one so make do i suppose with what i've got give this a mix then
on top the prize part of it all the crabmeat look at that
like gold dust
hmm
so good the seas come right down now it's literally flat calm compared to
this morning there was a bit of swell to be honest
