Loved it James! We very rarely get slippers here in Qld so they are always a treat. I actually came across the Qld record the day before a comp just walking along the bottom, lucky the comp was the next day so I could weigh it in!
@@jamessakker2117 I'm up in Sydney northern beaches have seen a few pulled out in my area. But they aren't a common find always make it a habit to check the ceiling now though
Great video. How far North do those little critters go? Over in Bali at the moment, just did a great spearfishing charter here definitely worth it. I’ve also found a local wooden speargun manufacturer who makes some awesome weapons. Let me know if you want a teak speargun.
Thanks mate I’m not sure how far north they go. Is that Andre making the spearguns? My mate dodgy had one and he rates them highly. I don’t need any more guns I just need to be more accurate! Glad you had a great charter what fish did you see?
@@jamessakker2117 not Andre, BaRa Sub which is a one man artist. The guy’s skills with wood are amazing. I shot a big Parrot Fish, nice Gold Spot Trevaly a Barracuda and 2 x octopus. I was looking for a big Spanish but none showed up. The restaurant cooked it all up perfectly. I personally find the extra bulk and balance of a wood gun that is well built helps me shoot straight. The one I used was very stable in the current and had next to zero recoil.
@@Timbuctoo yeah you’re right about the balance and accuracy of a well made timber gun they absorb the recoil much better. Sounds like an awesome trip! Still horrible here
Beautiful footage James! Dreaming of more clear water like that. Q: I still can't get my head around the rules .. is slippers and painted/ornate counted in the total 3lobster max?
Great video!
Good to see some actions back James!
Thanks mate I wish the water would clean up. Worst lobster season ever!!
The sponge surrounding the cracks is a great tip
Yeah they love it
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Great video, thanks mate!
Thanks Rob glad you enjoyed it
Great video mate thank you 🤙

Great vid! Yet to see one on slippers specifically. Very informative 👌🏻
Thanks mate glad you enjoyed it
great vid still struggling to find a decent local habitat that holds them reliably
Hey Jack thanks for watching what area are you from? They are definitely more common in some areas than others
@@jamessakker2117 I'm up in Sydney northern beaches have seen a few pulled out in my area. But they aren't a common find always make it a habit to check the ceiling now though
Yeah they are there. But no where near as common as the north coast
Ripper Video crew, nice info video, well explained, fun to watch. Cheers for sharing the video, Dive Safe! 😁🦞

@@jamessakker2117 will head to Riau and Natuna Island next time. Better coral and bigger more plentiful fish.
Sweet I’ll put some of that knowledge to work I suppose they taste like Moreton bay bugs ?
Yeah very similar
