      @lincolnbrown9882 6 лет назад

      A lot of people now i see are hunting after coral trout species as well, that could be interesting, as there are gun techniques like shifting it around and stuff to make the fish turn.

    Just recently come across spearfishing after seeing Valentine Thomas on Joe Rogans podcast and quickly came across your channel due to the UK spearfishing videos. I've spent all weekend watching your videos and love the channel and how you compose your videos. I really want to get into spearfishing now and hopefully i'll be somewhere ready for next year. Thank you for the content.

    • @DanielMann
      @DanielMann  6 лет назад

      That’s cool man! Valentine Thomas is a great ambassador for the sport. Glad you’re enjoying my channel, where are you based in the world? It’s a great lifestyle to get into.

    • @TemperMS

      I'm in the North East of England, close to Bridlington and Scarborough. Not sure what it would be like to spearfish around there, do you?

    • @DanielMann
      @DanielMann  6 лет назад

      There was a competition in Redcar last year that yielded loads of pollock,. You’re away from rivers up there so should be quite clean water.

    • @TemperMS
      @TemperMS 6 лет назад

      Sweet, that's reassuring. Thanks for the replies and i'll let you know how I get on.

  • @DeepBlueSpirit2
    @DeepBlueSpirit2 4 года назад +1

    Nice video and cool scenes! Love hunting mahi mahi, too - but over here we find them deeper and not to much on the surface. Maybe the water is way to hot in the Emirates in summer. Partially we find them below bait fish shoals and around 20 meters of depth, where the water is much colder.
    It is very true that if one does not shoot when going down for some dives, after, the larger ones finally appear seeing the smaller ones cruising peacefully close to the spearo :)
    We mostly use reelguns with reels but without floats (less entangling of lines).
    A little tip: The first spearo shooting a mahi should not pull him up immediately. Leave them around 5 meters or a bit more and all the other mahis will come in to check whats up. Doing so each of us can shoot one in the same encounter.

    I’ve only been spearfishing for a bit over a year and will have the opportunity to head out to a FAD this summer to look for some mahi. This video was very helpful but I was wondering what type of float will I need. Thanks mann can’t wait till your next video

    • @DanielMann
      @DanielMann  6 лет назад +1

      Any float will do the job on the Mahi Mahi if you have a 30m rig line. I’d suggest one of those 8L Rob Allen floats or similar. 8-11L is a good size.

    • @AnthonyC249
      @AnthonyC249 6 лет назад

      It could be a California thing, but its definitely a thing in South Florida. They also sometimes school under your boat(not ideal for spearfishing obviously) but they love finding the shade during the hot summers here in Florida, they even sometimes hide under driftwood or debris. Frigate birds are also a possible sign of Dorato as well. None the less seaweed patches is almost a 100% thing here in Florida for Dorato because they crush the little bait fish that sit right under the patch eating the itty bitty things in the seaweed.

    Ive been out the water for 3 years now in Darwin. Originally from the beautiful waters of the central coast - NSW.
    Have you dived the North? whats your take on sharks, jellies and handbags?
    Sharks no prob, but crocs??

    • @DanielMann
      @DanielMann  6 лет назад

      Thanks mate, glad you are enjoying the content! There are lots of divers in Darwin, the most notorious would be Rick Trippe. He's been diving up there since the dawn of time. I've dived up the central Queensland coast in areas where snapping handbags are for barramundi but never had an issue. I'm ALWAYS in a full wetsuit so the only exposed place on my body is a little bit of my face so I hope I'd be able to avoid a box jelly or the likes if it was right in my face. Check this one out from central QLD with similar vis to what you'd have in Darwin I imagine ruclips.net/video/GMDA0LLksj8/видео.html

      No fences in the ocean so sharks could show up. I keep a speargun between me and sharks.

    How do you have the courage to jump in when your that far out? and when do the FADS get back out?

      Don’t think only do (as my Italian friend would say). They normally get out back out in spring but check the fisheries website.
