Nice vid mate, looks like some great diving. sad to see the urchin barrens extending south of San Fran though.

Hi Blake, great video! Got a question for you: I've spearfished only in the mediterranean sea where I'm from and I am considering giving it a shot in the Pacific. Any tips? Do you think it's feasible to give it a shot without a boat? Cheers!

Hello Blake, would an 83cm length speargun be considered too much for this environment? Nice vid btw.

Do you ever get North of SF bay? I haven't been out in two years and was wondering if you've noticed any changes (ab size, quantities) since they shut ab season down?

@blakemcfarland6418 4 жыл бұрын

I have never been north of SF. I always wanted to go AB diving but never have due to the season closures.

Hey Blake! Love the video. Do you often use a stringer in the ocean? Or do you prefer to get fish out of the water quickly? I’m heading down to Monterey this weekend and want to refine my gear. Thank you!

@blakemcfarland6418 5 жыл бұрын

Hey Colton. It depends how far away I am from the boat/float. If I am close I will string them in the water on the back of the boat. If I am further away from the boat (majority of the time) I just string them on my weight belt loop and keep them on there until I get back to the boat. Hope that helps!

Blake Mcfarland Thank you for the reply!!!! That’s good to hear! I don’t have a boat or a kayak, and was wondering how safe it was to have a fish hanging from my belt while finishing my diving/hunting. Sounds like I’ll be okay. I’ll be diving monastery this weekend, see you around!

Very cool! I would recommend bringing a float or boogie board. It can hold extra gear and you can string your fish on it when you are nearby. I use a boogie board when Im not on the kayak or boat. @@coltonfreemantle768

What gun do you use? How do you like the one you’re using in the vid? Thanks

@blakemcfarland6418 4 жыл бұрын

This video we used quite a few different guns. Pathos, Riffe and Rob allen.... Best bang for bunk in my opinion is Rob allen

Hey man what gear are you using? Wetsuit wise? would love links

@blakemcfarland6418 4 жыл бұрын

In this video I have a Riffe wetsuit. I also use a Mako suit occasionally. The Kelpy Green wetsuit is a JBL suit that my buddies are wearing. Im shooting a customized wooden gun, however If I were to recommend a gun I would say the Rob allen 70 CM for hunting this area. Cant go wrong.
