Coastguard said I shouldn't have gone spearfishing today

  • The British National Spearfishing Championships are held over several competitions throughout the year and the forecast was not favourable/touch & go. The competition was postponed but I was in that part of the country anyway so decided to give it a go. Certainly not the nicest conditions to be spearfishing in but you don't catch fish sitting on the shoreline. Upon my return the coastguard bailed me up and asked why I hadn't logged on with them as they had received several reports of a swimmer too far out. They then found I was more than okay and returned to their pub lunch! I finally make use of the charcoal grill at our new place for a lovely dinner with one of the fish.

    If that was a Seabass...it would have been massive!!!
    Those are the conditions Seabass love...muddy waters like soup!!!
    The footage at the 5min mark where amazing, those fish where calm and beautiful!
    The fish looked like it was perfectly cooked!
    Some tips from me for the cooking...
    Get a grill that opens up in half and then just lay that on the barbeque.
    That way you will be able to twist and cook each side you want and at the end you can open it, place the plate on top of the fish, twist it again and the fish falls into the plate.
    Also a tip about when the fish sticks on the grill...all you have to do, is to brush the areas that is glued to the metal with a paper or cloth or brush full of water.
    Let the water work for 1-2min and then you should be able to just lift it off the grill.
    Having it on the barbeque it doesnt give you access below it...
    Great video Daniel, a good way to start the day and enjoy my morning coffee!

      Never really BBQ’d whole fish that successfully in Australia. Fillets on a hot plate of course but we don’t often use charcoal grills.

      Very different, much deeper in the Adriatic for consistent catches. U.K. is a lot cooler water and poor visibility often.

    little tip if you don't want your meat or fish to stick on the barbecue grill, just take a potatoe, cut it into two pieces and polish the grill with it, that's it !

    Love your videos, it’s really amazing watching you get so close to the target fish. How deep is the water you dive in. Sad people can’t mind their own business these days, you know within yourself if it’s safe enough or not to go out. The dinner looked absolutely amazing, perfect job cooking over the charcoal bricks to.
    Are there limits on how many fish you can harvest in the UK.
    I’m watching from Ontario Canada, and been following you for I think at least 2 years or more now.

    • @DanielMann
      @DanielMann  Před 11 měsíci +1

      Thank you! This was all less than 12m so quite shallow. Depends on the tide as at low tide it can be a few metres more shallow. Only allowed to retain two sea bass per day in the U.K. at 42cm minimum. Most other fish have no catch limit but minimum sizes.
