A couple of months ago Glad you enjoyed it

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

No it’s not an illusion that’s what happens with a 7 mm shaft powered up. If it’s bent it goes off track. Glad you noticed it blew me away when I saw how they move. Thanks for watching and commenting

No definitely not! People get the shits with crocs etc. I take them back out to sea and chuck them in the channel so the fish gets to eat them and doesn’t cause problems for anyone

Thanks mate glad you enjoyed it!

Hi George sorry to hear you’re sick I’m on a trip with dodgy and we are both sick and only diving the shallows. Glad you enjoyed the video get well soon!!

Thanks mate glad you enjoyed it!!

Thanks mate I jagged the weather and had an awesome trip

East Coast New South Wales

Very good mate glad you liked it

Thanks Shrek!! I had the best four weeks diving!! Wait until you see what’s coming up. Smashing giant coastal trout on my 60th birthday and getting a record size grey mackerel and PB Barra 16kg

Yeah good weather coming back this week. I really enjoyed your last two videos especially the oysters very tasty

Thanks mate glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks mate as always I really appreciate your support and sense of humour!! Coastal trout is a bar cheek trout I don’t know why but all the people I dive with call them coastal trout. I had a fish care volunteer measure my fish at Rosslyn harbour on a day when I had some big ones and he was confused when I kept calling them coastal trout. He thought they were blue spots at first because they were so big. Anyway you would have loved this I kept getting him to hold them right up so the line fishers could see them. You could see the looks like how does that fat old kunt manage to even get in the boat. The guy said the average catch is just above zero for the Linos. I’ve been using edge guns exclusively for over 20 years. Tony Heugh is a legend I’m going to catch up with him in August. Poor bugger had a broken leg but hopes to dive by the time I catch up with him. What a legend!!!! Great to see you making videos again so funny!!

Thanks mate glad you enjoyed it!

Sorry mate I didn’t weigh it. Glad you enjoyed it

I hope so I’m in Yeppoon for 4 weeks at the moment house sitting. If I get up it will be August or September

Nice one mate 👍 I was out around this area the other day, plenty of Spanish cruising around

Yeah it’s the spot!! I pulled out of one today I did get a pb grey the other day 110cm

Thanks mate glad you enjoyed it!

You learn something new everyday

@@jamessakker2117 dead center Sakker

No worries! Glad you got something out of it. I think the diagram makes it easier

@@jamessakker2117 diagram made it so much more clear!!!

@@jamessakker2117 you have a talent for teaching, James.

Thanks that’s very kind of you are you still teaching free diving? Is it the Phillipines you are in

@@jamessakker2117 I’m in the Phillippines for freediving. I have the AIDA instructor and now doing cross over to another agency, Molchanov. After that, I want to take competition safety course and maybe safety few comps. Few other goals - 60m as a base easy dives and getting a big fish here (where it’s fished out, deep, and difficult). I’m also doing my PhD on scholarship at the same time. At the end of the year, I might move to Bali to switch mostly to spearfishing. I miss seeing and getting fish easily. I miss Nambucca and people as well.

Yeah if you like Trevs they are great in the smoker. Thanks for watching mate glad you enjoyed it

Yeah Mackay can be tough for sure but awesome once it comes good. Thanks for watching mate

Yeah it’s been a really bad autumn unfortunately we got one dive in at the rocks and all we saw was heaps of divers. Not much looks like changing there is no current and when I went fishing it was dirty for miles out. Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it

Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed it The trip was awesome and you only get to see the KZbin appropriate bits! Great guys weather and diving. Going again in July hopefully get some nice weather. We can’t get a break in the weather here it’s filthy. Got a house sitting gig for 4 weeks near Yeppoon at the end of the month so hopefully get some Barra and trout

Thanks mate Paul was really stoked and it made my day too!! Bummer you didn’t get any mackerel hopefully you will on your next trip. It’s been tough diving lately or I should say no diving due to bad vis and big swell.

Glad you got some good information from the video. Thanks for watching!

@@jamessakker2117 I’m very new to this is it better to catch lobsters by hand or spearing? Also have you got any tips how to hold my breath for longer when diving for them

In NSW you can only catch them by hand and you can spear them in QLD. I much prefer to hand catch them because you can release any with eggs the lobster stays alive which improves the eating quality and you can upgrade your catch if you need to. Holding your breath is about relaxing and practicing diving. Use your gun to mark the lobster crack they usually don’t move. Take your time plan how you are going to grab the lobster and then make your dive. Swim around slowly to conserve your energy and weight yourself so you are not too buoyant on the bottom of course be buoyant on the surface! Hope this helps the more you do the easier it gets

@@jamessakker2117 thank you sir I will try this. I will be a boxing world champion in the future I will remember you haha and I will buy us a boat and we’ll get all the lobsters 🥊👊🏻

That’s my mates boat it’s a haines hull with tiller steer 90 and trim tabs

I feel your pain mate I have lost plenty of big ones they can dodge spears and can rip out easily. This is definitely the right time of year for big ones although they aren’t spawning that happens mid spring to summer when they weigh a lot more for the same length. Keep diving where you have seen them and don’t shoot anything else if you want a big red. Good luck!!

Check out the zoning as only the front of the headland is open. You will see the right spots just driving along the 5nm that is open. Try to dive the best visibility areas. Good luck!

Thanks mate you hit the nail on the head!! Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it! We are diving the mid north coast of NSW which is a long way south of any crocodiles. I do shoot Spanish up north and so far have never seen a crocodile. We don’t have to travel far to get fish fortunately

Thanks for watching I get $5 gloves from the reject shop. Basically cotton gloves impregnated with Kevlar. Much better grip than traditional dive gloves and much cheaper

@@jamessakker2117 thank you so much keep on

Thanks George we had a great time being with your mates and no stress. I have been bitten by a barracuda exactly where you say and it was pretty nasty. I did have a wet suit on that time. Glad you enjoyed it!
