God damn, those shots of all the crabs. I could feel it in my bones. So fun to hit a good spot and take your pick! For me it makes up for all the times I get skunked and then some.

[@murraywardrop1085]

Great video. One question... while you're out on the water and still fishing, what's the best method for stashing your crabs. Net bag on your float?

[@DanielMann]

Catch bag works pretty well or lashing them up with my floatline.

[@andreas716]

How do you adjust the colour balance under water? Do you use a red filter on the GoPro?

[@DanielMann]

No filters ever on my gopros. I use Da Vinci resolve. There is a reason it’s called BlackMagic 👌 Also I have setup some of the settings on my GoPro to maximise the amount of colour retention.

[@paulonogueira706]

was this in sussex?

[@DanielMann]

Yes

[@jamesbowring9346]

Awesome video mate! What crab would you recommend back home? Muddy or swimmers?

[@DanielMann]

Swimmers are probably the closer tasting, very sweet. But try with anything you can get ahold of.

Even without speargun you delivered mate 👍

[@DanielMann]

Thank you!

Nice dude! Gotta love it when you forget key parts of your kit eh 😅 Glad you still got some spiders, they are the most delicious of all the crab species in my opinion 😁👍

[@movietrailers6972]

Great Video! Can I ask you what pre sets you use on your go pro? And how do you manage battery do you bring extras out with you ?

[@DanielMann]

I typically shoot 2.7K at 50fps, protune on, medium sharpness, auto shutter, no low light, max iso 400. I take spare batteries on a boat but I don’t often need it. Use rabbit mode for the best battery life.

[@offthehookproductions4481]

It’s been unusually cold this year due to a brutal winter. Places in the south west are still 13°C when they should be around 16°C. Fortunately this spot warms up quickly and I had it 16.5°C last week.

I was out Sunday as well . This was the 3 time my GF tried spearfishing. Parked the car walked about a 100m to have a look at the water. The water look great, calm and no waves. We walked back to the car, suited up, and walk back to the water. We never made into the water, we ended up setting on the shore, and look at 2 feet waves, thunder and lighting and rain crashing down. Never seen such change in the weather, in such a short time.

[@DanielMann]

That’s savage!

[@douaher9646]

Hahaha love it 😀😄

[@honeybadger7002]

I swam about a km off shore once and went to load me gun..... only to find..... me old rubbers... they weren't on the gun.... cause I'd taken them off... to put the new rubbers on.... which I hadn't actually put on.... and both sets were at home.... 200 km away !!!!! 😖 lol 😂 So I thought "bug*er that" , next time I'm bringing my kayak out.... which has spare rubbers on it... SO I did.... but then sunk it!!!! at 9pm at night!!! 😂 it was a long, very funny drag / swim back to shore 🤣

[@DanielMann]

I keep a razor in the glove box of the car 😬

[@ShakaZoulou77]

The only thing i through away are the dead men's fingers and the shell. To the juices of the head join breadcrumb to dry a little, onion, parsley, beer, but everthing sparsely to not lose the taste of the crab, mash with a fork and join little pieces of boiled egg. Kinda of can tuna paté, but better, much, much better. For this recipe your boiling techinique is needed, you don't want to open an hole in the crab and you don't want him with any kind of energy and releasing the legs when in contact with the boiling water, so all the juices remains inside the crab. If there isn't a long time to put him to sleep in the freezer, fill his mouth with vinegar, make him drink it, before going to the freezer

hea daniel i've watch over 10 of your videos today i'll be waiting no a new video .

[@stanbarwik1711]

Oh man, I think you just infected me with spear fishing. I always loved to dive, but UK is quite harsh especially Scotland so I just ordered 5mm wetsuit and spear gun. It's quite an expense if you just start, only problem, my fins are just size for my feet, so they will probably fell off from cold after a while, I don't think I'll be able to ware any boots with them :( Next weekend going camping Isle of Mull, hopefully will have some success. Do you think, that diving from inflatable kayak is a good idea, I usually fish from it, rather than jump of it... I really do enjoy your videos, "How to's & Tutorials" are absolutely spot on, rigging, prepping band etc.

[@DanielMann]

Kayaks can be a great way to get to places that are a little farther than you'd easily swim however when starting out shore diving is an easy way to learn one thing at a time. You don't tend to use boots as such for free diving fins but rather just neoprene socks. It's lovely up that way and plenty of shellfish if you get sick of shooting pollack.

[@stanbarwik1711]

@@DanielMann yeah that's how they call it on Decathlon web, I may try to put them on with some 3mm ones but if it's to tight I may get cramp in foot, it kept happening when I was using borrowed to wee fins. I usually dive near shore away from strong tides, you probably know this spot already, if not I do recommend Whitesands bay - St.Davids AMAZING place.
