Thanks Andrew! Never too late to get back into it. Few months of apnea training and you’ll be back in the game 💪🙂

Awesome to hear that Shannon :)

Rule #1 when scuba diving...never hold your breath.

Yes absolutely! The jetty is an amazing place to fish. We we t off our kayaks the day before and not nearly as good as the jetty. We stayed with a few friends in cabins right off the beach. Such a special place I highly recommend it!

@@borce32 next week hopefully. As soon as I get the new suit-my gills are drying up!!!

Thanks for the support Jesse. Its awesome that you and your son are getting into the sport together. It will give you lots of wonderful memories. Yes I’ve gone for asian carp off the Clackamas river in the middle of the winter in 33 degree water. It was a blast bit freezing! We were doing push ups in between floats to keep warm 😄

Thanks for the support, I’ll be getting back into posting again 🙂

@@borce32 awesome! I’ll be waiting

Alex, the one I’m using here is a 7mm. I’ve used a 5mm but 7mm is much warmer. They are open cell. It really also depends the time of year you are diving and the waters.

Jeffro 503 Hey Jeff, I use a 7mm open cell suit. When I first started I was using a 5mm wetsuit year round but 7mm is more comfortable. You can get away with a 5mm but I would get a 7mm in case you ever go to Alaska or spearfish in colder waters. Stick to an open cell wetsuit tho. Much more warmer than the same thickness closed cell wetsuit.

of Hey Borce , thanks for the reply. I definitely planned on a 7mm wetsuit for sure. The shop I'm going through , has a few different brands I was looking at , but I really wanted a suit with a back zip so I can take it on and off by myself , in case I have nobody to go with. He has some open cell two piece suits , but I was looking at the Scubapro Everflex 7/5 , which is a closed cell. The shop rents quite a few different types / brands , so I'll try as many as I can before I by. Is your Cressi a 1 or 2 piece? If you are staying warm in this time up year up there , it sounds like it must work pretty dang good. The shop doesn't sell Cressi as far as I'm aware , but he sweard that the Scubapro suit works pretty good in cold water. Have you tried one?

Jeffro 503 Hey Jeff, closed cells are mainly for surfing. Not many people use them for spearfishing but it should work just fine. My wetsuit is a 2piece open cell and its actually really easy to take off. Probably easier than a one piece open cell. Check out my video on paragliding equipment. It should give you an idea on what to buy to get started.

@@borce32 Thanks again Borce! I think you may have swayed me into a 2 piece suit! The shop I was mentioning carries Omer , and they make some nice 7mm open cell suits as well. From what I understand is , closed cell suits tend to lose like 20 - 30% of their heat , but are easier to get on. I'm definitely going to try on some two piece suits. I watched your video you did on spear fishing equipment , and that helped a bunch. Also realized that you actually live by me haha. I'm in Portland , and I know you mentioned Oregon. Thanks again Borce for your help. Hope to go spear some fish with you some day , once I get things figured out. Take it easy , and thanks again for all your help!

@@jeffro5032 Jeff thats awesome to hear man. Yeah let me know if you need any more help or if you want to go out sometime with me and I can show you the ropes of spearfishing. Hit up Dan at Oregon Freediving Company. Let him know I sent you and he'll hook you up with some gear. He's an expert in the field and thats the best spot you can go in town for all your spearfishing needs. His Omer suits are awesome and a great deal. Add me on instagram if you have an account borce.nxt

Yup we usually use one anchor and tie the kayaks together, so we save weight and dont have to carry 2 anchors

I would join the local freediving forum / facebook group and find someone to do a course with. Its one of those activities that you need lots of experience to be able to eventually do it at big depths. Start with diving in pools and work your way up from there. I would do a beginner freediving class first tho.

Check out the videos from Daniel Mann (best spearo channel on KZfaq)

Rick Knight lets do it! I love spearing halibut ofcourse but locally my favorite fish is lingcod :)

Hey DH, water temp out here is around 45-50 Fahrenheit in January

Mike Robinson I’m broke so I wear my crocks over my socks to get to the spot.

I dont to be honest. I would look at the different models online and see what they run for. This is my 1st speargun and I love it. Never had to get anything different.

Stealth and element of surprise / quietness. I consistently outfish my scuba buddies on most days.

@@borce32 ohh yeah the bubble would probably scare the fish right ? I didn’t even think of that lol. Thanks bro I’ve been really considering getting into that sort of stuff

@@angelbbva3135 absolutely, you definitely should :)

@@borce32 I’m in the pnw so maybe we’ll run into each other if I do end up getting into spear fishing lol. Good luck and stay safe out there

Will do Jason, its been a while so I’m due for another trip

@@borce32 I do some diving as well but I don’t like going by myself. I also do lots of filming so it would Awesome to collaborate on a video.

@@JasonToddRoberts that would be awesome!

Peter not us, potentially one of our other buddies but not sure.

That is a black rockfish

This was with my Hero 6 I believe and no filters. However a few of the clips I lightened up so the fish are seen better underwater.

Mike Robinson absolutely, you got it :)
