I’d love to come out and join you Spaceman! I haven’t been out to Neah Bay in a few years but its that time I return. I also have a kayak so I’ll make sure to bring my kayak with me and we can go out and do a couple of dives. Let’s stay in touch and make it happen!

Christian Flores thanks. Its as fresh as it gets :)

not really, not much out here in the pacific northwest

Christensen Bros LLC that would be awesome, I came out to O’ahu a few times back in 2017 and loved it. Add me on insta and we’ll stay in touch. If you’re ever out here in Portland I’ll take you out and get some lings.

Daniel It really depends on the type of diving you want to do and if you plan on doing it year round. I’d recommend going with a 7mm open cell since you can use it year round. I also have a 5mm that I use in the summer. The 7mm was great when I went up to Alaska since the waters are a bit colder up there. The suit ai have is a Cressi Tracina. I like the high pants over the long johns style wetsuit. I have the same suit in a 7 and 5mm. Let me know if you’re in the are, lets do some diving.

Sierra Page yep its a good spot but its a hit and miss. Visibility is rarely more than 10 feet but when it is its a gorgeous place to dive. My fins are leaderfins carbon fiber camo.

David Get in contact with me on instagram and I’ll be glad to show you the ropes sometime soon.

@@borce32 sorry man, I'm kinda stone age and have never done the instagram. Shoot me a call or text at (951)217-6808 or email me at drgallday89@gmail.com

Jake the dog not diving more than 40 feet. The bay is only 55 so normally we dont go too deep. Yes there are seals but they dont bug us and tend to stay at least 50-100 feet away from me.

diverdoyle I use booties with closed heel fins. Best investment is definitely the spear gun, without it no fish 🙂 I dont think any gear is a bad investment because you need everything in order to be able to dive and fish. If I had to pick something I’d say my reel on my gun since I already have a float line that I use so the reel is not required.

Red Rock crabs are an invasive species and ODFW wants all of them gone, so there is no limit.

Michael Lieb Hey man, I would recommend joining a facebook group in your area. I am sure there is tons of spearfishermen. That will allow you to get to know people that do it and they will help you out. Also I would focus on your breath hold and being able to dive to at least 20 feet. Taking a freediving/ spearfishing class would also help you out. After that its all about practice and doing it on a regular basis. Make sure to stay safe and take your time, start in a pool and shallow then slowly transition to the ocean starting from a safe environment.

Hey man, I am an avid spearo with no gearo ;) I'm in redwood city for November and am definitely tryna get wet! let me know if you're still interested in getting in the water!! (i'm itch'n) Like I said, I have no gear here with me, so I'll either need to borrow or rent... but that isn't an issue!

Thanhtu Ho Thanks for reaching out. Yes I’m from the Portland area. Reach out to me on instagram. Borce.nxt

Year round and you just need a normal fishing license

Christian Flores delicious for sure!

Averagefishin sorry to hear that man. I have had a few bad experiences of fishermen on the rocks complaining about me passing in front of them but I dont let it get to me. It rarely happens and 95% of my experiences are positive. I’ve untangled dozens of fishermens lines from the rocks and once you do that they respect you. We are the ones risking our lives diving for the fish, they are fishing from the docks so technically we should have right of way. My experience is if you are nice to them, they will be nice to you.

Hey Jeremy, thats the JBL woody 38 Special

I would start practicing in a pool and doing static breath holding. If you can take a dive class somewhere I would do that as well. I would not push your limits right away in the ocean, gain some experience then jump in the ocean.

Jake the dog if there is a job like that then you need to let me know because I’m in 😄

Borce Atanasov I read online that there is like a business of that or something, but not an actual job that i heard of, sadly😧

Hes an amateur look how he was getting the crabs, stabbing then checking it's sex smh. Ntm red rock crabs barely have meat smh

@@ImmortalWombat yeah.... I re-watched this and you're 100% right. Poor conservation and care for harvest. I think there is some real learning that needed to happen after this vid. Being 3 years old, I can only hope it happened.

LIONKILLER1986 my line is 12 feet

cameron phillips I use the JBL Woody 38 Special (6w38)

Borce Atanasov that's what I thought it was. Would you say good things about the gun? Been thinking about getting one but haven't seen many videos of it in use

cameron phillips I'd recommend the gun for sure but it depends on what kind of fish you are going for. I would not hunt anything larger than lings with this gun. The gun is super rugged and well made. You can bang it up and it will still fire just fine. I would maybe recommend the elite series 38 special woody because I've lost a bunch of fish due to shooting them too close and the spear not being able to exit the gun all the way. The elite series does not have that issue but overall I love this gun!

Borce Atanasov thanks so much for the info, id be spearing the same place as you i'm just north of Salem. Could you recommend a good place to spearfish for beginners on the coast. I have my scuba certification so I'm hesitant to freedive the Oregon coast. Thank you

Sweet gun man, I almost have the exact same gun but did get the elite. It felt like it didn't have any range out of the box tho. I added an additional band and I'm pretty happy with the range I get now. I just have to pop off a band or two when I find a ling in a hole. You can always switch the muzzle on your gun if you want to change it up.

xyzct I’ve used a pole spear before but I like my gun too much to switch it :)

@@borce32, could you make one or two spear gun recommendations please. I used to spearfish in Hawaii, but live at the beach in northern Oregon now, and watching your video got me itching to get out there! :-)

It was delicious. I normally wrap it up in aluminum foil and throw it on the bbq. Throw a bunch of spices on it with a little bit of olive oil. It becomes super soft and it doesn't lose its moisture. Sometimes I cook up burgers with it and fry it on the stove :)

Is that northern Cali?

I'm going to try that next time. Thanks for the tips...FISH ON!!

Yes...Nice huh...

Mark Estrella no this is Northern Oregon just north of Tillamook

Shane Leonard this is in Oregon actually.

Borce Atanasov aww damn I might have to take a trip up there then lol

Shane Leonard if you do let me know, I’d love to show you how its done

Borce Atanasov sounds good to me

I was in morro bay fishing this weekend and seen some dude spear fishing and he pulled up a ling. Now I'm watching videos on how to spear fish and I want to get into it! I'm from cali maybe I can plan a trip over there

Not for rock crab. You can take males or females any size.

Brian Lear its at Barview Jetty in Garibaldi, Oregon

Rick Knight sounds like a plan. Let me know when you’re in town. Best of luck with the sale of the house.

What part of Oregon are you from?

Rick Knight I’m in Portland

Rick Knight I’m from Portland

@@borce32 Looking forward to taking a freediver class out there also.

Itz Ceasar its in Oregon

w ching this spot is more famous for rock crab but we do freedive for crab as well. I’ll post a separate video of that :)

Omatters i have a JBL woody 38 Special

Borce Atanasov thanks for the response! I live in the seattle area but grew up in Hawaii using pole spears. Been wanting to get back into it.

Dustin Ayers good idea, would love to start doing that. Thanks for the good idea 👍🏼

Or you can google it in 2 seconds yourself

Peppe Cappiello I’m going tomorrow if you want to join. I’d love to show you how I do it here.

its not so easy, i must check my schedule and my tools and equipment, would be nice to get in touch...

Stan Xiong there is tons of them and I never take Rock Crabs anymore. I mainly go for Dungeness.

BrandenRay There is no size limit on rock crab. Limit is 24 per person, male or female. I only took males

those are rock crab. no size limit.

Hey Zoe, you can take both males and females for red crab. They dont have the same regulations as Dungeness Crab. Also I dont take red crabs anymore, they are not worth it anymore in my opinion. This was one of the few times I took some. Also Males are much larger so they are easy to identify even under water.

madeitsoicanwatch none of the lingcod in this video were under 22 inches, as a matter of fact all of these fish were 25 inches and up. I pass up many juvenile lingcod without shooting them or disturbing them and I don’t take chances on those that I believe are close to the limit. However I have shot 1 or 2 lingcod under the limit barely but that was when I began the sport and I didnt have any experience. It’s really hard to judge the size underwater or by only seeing their head popping out of a hole. Now I’m able to judge their size based on my past experiences and I try not to shoot anything under 25 inches. If a spear fishermen ever said they have never shot an undersize lingcod then I’ll tell you that they are full of shit. We have all done it by mistake a few times. No one is perfect.

madeitsoicanwatch It doesnt matter! Seals would just take them anyways. I catch crabs by hand everyday at summer.

Took an hour for one fillet 😂

No dam size matters they are there to be eaten...fish eat fish bird eat fish without checking size..aslong as u not wasting the fish no problem at all

banqq actually its legal, as long as you take males above the minimum size.
