The Jersey Spearo
United Kingdom
Registrace 5. 11. 2019
I'm a spearfisherman based in the Channel Islands (UK). We have some great diving sites around the Channel Islands and I'll be uploading videos of my dives as and when I can get in the water. All spearfishing is done on one breath hold (Freediving).
Spearfishing Jersey UK - Silverfish competition, Bass and Mullet.
This was one of our local competitions, the rules were that you could weigh in 2 Bass (50cm min size), 3 Mullet (45cm min size), 3 Bream (30cm min size) and 3 Flatfish( 36cm min size). Saw lots of fish, but it just wasn't my day.

Bluefin Tuna in 4.5m water in UK whilst spearfishing
zhlédnutí 21KPřed 3 lety
Just went for a quick spearfish at my local mark in Jersey on a September afternoon, I was nearing the end of my dive and this Bluefin Tuna swam right past me. I was only in 4.5m of water. He just cruised past me. I wasn't too tempted to shoot as catching them is illegal over here, never-mind the fact that my 75cm would have just disappeared into the distance with the Tuna. Amazing to see and I...
North coast spearfishing in Jersey UK - Bass, Mullet and a huge Dover Sole!!
zhlédnutí 2,8KPřed 4 lety
A few videos of some spearfishing up on the North Coast of Jersey. Apart from the usual Bass and Mullet seen, the Dover Sole I shot was 1.2kg, it was an absolute beast! Always feels good catching your own dinner.

Whilst waiting for storm Ciara to pass and the visibility to get better I've been listening to these guys on their podcast. It's funny and has some really useful info that relates to spearfishing anywhere in the world. I would highly recommend listening to a few episodes, I'm currently on episode 8.

Spearfishing and scallop hunting - Bouley Bay - Jersey (UK)
zhlédnutí 1KPřed 4 lety
A short video of my first attempted spearfish in 2020. The visibility was terrible but i had to get in and see if I could find a flatfish in the weather window. Nothing found apart from a few scallops, but it was good to get in the water.

I will also give a quick review of the Cressi Spyder, the Beuchat Guardian and the Omer Torpedo. You can buy the Cressi Spyder here: amzn.to/2QJQYHT You can buy the Omer Torpedo here: amzn.to/36vkkk4
Spearfishing in Jersey / UK in 2018 - Bass, Mullet & Bream
zhlédnutí 1,4KPřed 4 lety
I've been spearfishing in the UK for a few years and taken my GoPro with me on a few dives. This is a compilation of the small amount of footage I've taken on those dives up until the end of 2018. Unfortunately the quality of the footage in the video took a hit when I had to upgrade my computer whilst creating the video, hopefully the next one will be better quality. I will shortly be uploading...
Great video. I have the same float. My Guardian is over 10 years old now, still going strong, built like a tank! I am refurbishing it, adding new straps etc. The center section is always flooded with water so I will be adding some foam in there to increase buoyancy. I have bought an electric motor and battery for it (designed for SUPs). I have fitted a part wooden floor to it, to help secure the fin box for the motor and to add rigidity. I hopefully will be in the water next week for the first sea trials. I wondered what the valve-looking object is at 3:58 on the inner right-hand side by the inflatable belly pad? I am not sure if there is more than one version of the Guardian - mine has two internal removable air bladders, one for each side, with a carbon fibre vertical flag pole - there is no valve-looking widget on the inner righthand side.
You're swimming in sewerage, Those bacterial colonies are exactly like the ones you find at ocean outfalls
Incredible, Lets hope we get a recreational catch and release fishing quota soon. I'd give my left one to fish for a Bluefin in the UK.
'promo sm' 😜
I remember you telling me about those bass in parking lot afterwards and the big white bream. You definitely could have won that comp😅
Yeah, lessons were learnt that day !
i know i would get my gun ripped out of my hands but i would still try to stone it bhahahah
Where did you get the SMB reel from?
Just our local dive shop. Its a BEAVER SMB reel
We’re did you get the SMB reel from?
hi mate, i wonder if can i swim on Cressi Spyder as a dingy? have you tried that...Beuchat Guardian looks quiet big
The Spyder is too small to swim on, I sink it when i try to get on/hold it.
Holy hell!
Uuuuund er iss weg. 🤭🤭🤭🤭
hi, is your buoy with some motor and propeller or you just use your legs ?
Just my legs with fins, but you can go a lot further and faster when you get your body out of the water on the float.
Lmaoo
do you think smaller floatboat will be ok for choppy breaks? i got one and now think it might not do for where i am
Yes a smaller float would be much better in choppy water.
No one would ever have believed you haha. Thank god for go pros.
I saw one like this too couple days ago but the water was so clear I could see his eye staring at me before disappearing
That’s awesome!
Gonna sound like a funny question but..... Is that white stuff floating about spunk? I've noticed that when it's mating season for seabass that gloopy stuff is always floating around and I came to the conclusion it was spoof from the males🤭🤭🤭
Not sure what it is, I just thought it was algae, the camera makes it look a lot more white than it actually is, it's more like light green.
@@thejerseyspearo1792 oh ok, thanks for replying 👍👍
I have a float exactly like the torpedo. It never seems to stay upright. It always flops over the in the water. Any suggestions?
If you put a small weight like maybe 0.25kg on the bottom of it, that should help it to stay upright. Maybe a small cord around the body of the torpedo and the weight attached underneath. The torpedo float I have came with an attachment on the bottom for a weight.
@@thejerseyspearo1792 I usually attach it to myself and kind of bring it around with me, but when I look back, it's totally flopped over... You think I should attach a separate weight to the underside of it?
@@justinbrewer3288 Yup, that should keep it upright
That is incredible! Luckily you had the Go Pro on!
Great video, what a lovely underwater experience.
Should of tried to shoot it
Hey mate, how does the buoy inflate? Thanks
There is a valve on the inside at the top near the flag, and its one continuous bladder that goes all the way from one side to the other. It came with a pump to inflate it, and it has a pressure relief valve in case it gets too hot in the sun.
Massive feed
Nooo.. you had all chances to shoot it
Yeah, and with his setup all the chance to , at best, have the fish tear off, at worst, lose his whole rig. Potentially causing the fish to needlessly die if shot in the organs.
@ProDiver, you obviously are not a pro diver
@@ryansampson9445 i am pro spergun fisha killer
Our gear is setup for small fish, I had a single band 75cm gun. If I had taken a shot I would have lost all my gear. It is also illegal to shoot them over here in the UK.
great video 👍 Amazing fish
Amazing buddy. :)
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice one mate was only talking about seeing one the other day hahah
Holy Sh#@ indeed! That is mental bet you got a shock!!
Made the heart rate go up a bit!
Whaaaaat!!!! Now that’s a moment you’ll remember! Amazing video dude 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Any estimate on the size?
Cheer mate, it was a small one, i'd guess around 100lbs?
@@thejerseyspearo1792 wow..! Our concepts of “small” are quite different 😅 What a sight! I loved the way you were just bumbling around with an old rope then the next second a monster just cruises by… incredible. Would have been a true fisherman’s tale if you didn’t have it on camera!
@@thejerseyspearo1792 why did you not try and shoot it ?
@@soggymids7630 It's illegal to shoot them in Jersey, and I only had a 75cm single band gun so would have just lost my gear if I had shot it.
@@soggymids7630 lol that would have been funny to watch with that gun.
Cold! What are the bouley bay rules for summer spearing plz?
No official rules but the is an unofficial agreement we have with the dive school which is that we don't spearfish in the moorings. Anywhere West of the pier or East of the end of the stony beach is fine but we stay out of the moorings in summer.
PS as line I switched to Salvimar Bungeetech, 4m extends 4 times to 16m. It has a 80kg load with a dyneema core. I don't feel any drag anymore, it is so great. I added 1 meter of poly rope at both ends to extend it and preserve it. Float stays closer, yet when i dive I don't feel any pull on my gun.
Thanks Stefano I might have to look at the bungee for the float line.
I bought the Cressi Spyder, it is well made, but I regret not getting the Imersion version, the latter looks the same. although it has only one bladder, no weight pocket and red bottom. It allows to carry easily a speargun or 2 above rather than below the float, which I prefer as I am spearfishing in the western atlantic usually with currents and waves that may throw a float on the rocks. Above the water may be the safer option for rough condition, although in southern, hot countries the guns under the float are protected from the sun. I ended up buying a dinghy style float, the Seac Seamate. I can carry more stuff and it is higher above the water line, so more visible to boats. The Omer Atoll, Cressi Spyder are a little to low and flat, and apart the flag they may not be as visible in choppy seas. These are my 2 cents. Very happy with the Seac Seamate, very light to carry. Comes with a small flag so i use the Spyder's flag on it.
Thanks Stefano, I love the dingy style floats, unless there is a long walk from the car to the water - it can get a bit heavy after a long trek!
Nice Video and great diving, the shots on the fish were very cool! Looked like a great day out, Hello from Aussie, Dive Safe!
Thanks 👍
Well done. Thank's a lot for your Video and Greetings from Germany ;-)
Many thanks!
Nice channel you got here👍 I see you are hunting for many of the same species we have here in Norway. Looks nice where you are. Beautifule😊
Nice equipment..newfriend
Wish I could find the Guardian at a decent price.
@On A Mission I found a place that had them in stock and didn't charge tax or shipping so I bit the bullet and bought one. Now I can't help wondering if I could get the job done with one of those fishing tubes. They are much bigger when inflated which has its benefits and issues but it is less than a third of the cost.
I think they may have stopped making them now.
I have a question about the beuchat guardian float, if it gets a puncture is it easy to be fixed?
Hi Myrz, yes the inflatable bladders in the sides can be removed easily - the bladders can then be repaired or replaced.
Great video buddy... that sole 👌🏼 I took your advice this year and went for a big float, such a great upgrade
Hi, enjoyed your video, good idea with the line reel. Interested to know if you attach it to your gun or your belt given that it’s a bigger float ?
Cheers Neil. I attach it to my belt. I find if I attach it to my gun, it can affect my aim! I only dive shallow (12m or less) so not too much danger of losing my gun if it get stuck.
@@thejerseyspearo1792 Thanks, useful to know, just starting out so trying to work out the best set up. Much appreciated 👍🏻
Does your paracord float or does it sink? I found some pretty decent priced climbing rope that could be used as a float line also.
My paracord sinks, but the first meter covered with plastic tubing stops it tangling too much.
Nice video. I’m thinking about adding the reel for my anchor line. Did you order that reel online? Not many of them have paracord. I might to add it myself
No I got the reel from my local dive shop. I haven't been able to find it online. It's manufactured by Beaver Diving though.
Some lovely waters in Jersey. My mother lives just off Green Island, I visit every now and again from Wales. I'll bring my gear next time maybe we can hook up? :)
Sounds good!
nice video,. the water looks awesome..
Good one Nick! Don’t you just love it when you miss a fish and they come back and stare at you?! Nice halibut there at the end!
Yeah, it happens quite often! That one had a white mark on its head so the spear must have hit him and bounced off, probably gave him a bit of a headache. Yeah it could have passed for a mini halibut, it was huge.
Great video cracking Dover sole! Wish we got those up here, here tasty!
It was the biggest one I've caught, tasted amazing!
Nice one mate. Some good fish there.
Cheers mate
Great video, really useful. Some game changers there, well done.
Glad it was helpful!
I dived here before and we saw some big rays and also found scallops too!:) Is this a good bay to see/spear flatfish as well?
Yes mate you'll get Plaice, Turbot, Brill and Rays here
