Spearfishing 101 Series Part 13; How To Hunt Fish
Spearfishing is a unique underwater sport enjoyed by many people around the world. However, spearfishing is not as easy as putting on a diving suit, holding your breath underwater, and shooting spears at your target-you also have to be a good hunter. Here’s a quick guide on how to effectively hunt fish.
Mind Your Body Language
One of the most important things to remember is to take note of your body language on the surface. Whether you're chasing estuary fish, pelagics, or just chasing reef fish - movements like your duck dive, or the way that you're interacting with your equipment can mean a lot. When you're hanging around on the surface, try not to rattle your gun as much as possible, and minimise movements and sounds (like clearing your snorkel.
Creating a lot of noise when you’re duck diving can also scare the fish away. So make sure that you don't actually start kicking until you've gone through your whole action. When duck diving, you want to make sure that even the tips of your fins are just about underwater before you start kicking to minimise noise and movement.
Know Where The Fish Is
There are quite a few different ways to hunt a fish depending on whether you're diving inshore, estuaries, or out on the reef chasing pelagic fish. Depending on what depths that you're in, make sure that you’re in a comfortable position on the reef. This method may change with some species like wahoo, marlin, dolphin fish and more, that you will only most likely interact with on the top five meters. But for all your estuary fish and also most of your reef species - the smart thing to do is to go to the bottom and make the most of your camo. Or if you're not using a camo suit, try to blend in and become one with the reef. That way you don't look as much like death from above. You won't seem like a big predator species, like a shark. Once you're at the bottom, sink straight down to the reef, hold on to a piece of reef so you're not getting jiggled around especially if you're chasing species like mulloway, up in the shallows, or up in the whitewash.
Stay Quiet And Hidden
When you descend underwater, keep your chin tucked down. Focus on getting to the bottom first, before worrying too much about chasing fish. Swim until you’ve gotten into a position within the reef that you’re comfortable with. Relax, hold down low and keep an eye on the fish you’re chasing.
Focus on the hunt
Make sure you are relaxed and really quiet. Focus on getting to the bottom, especially when you're chasing reef species. Try to maintain a small profile as much as possible. Aim your spear properly. Before you set out, make sure you have the right spearfishing equipment.

Take if from a spearo who hunts in very overfished waters where fish spook easily, take the snorkel out of your mouth right before you dive. The purging air from water filling in from the top makes quite a bit of noise otherwise. Also, avoid diving directly down on your target fish, even on a reef or rocks. This gets more difficult the deeper the fish is obviously, but always try to approach further out from an angle.

people should not dive with snorkel in mouth in general

[@johnq.public2621]

More like this please!

Helpful thanks

[@tomskimcdouglegaming806]

Tracheostomy scar? nice bro.

[@abdullahe3674]

Awesome 😎 Bro Do make a video on different types of fish , what's good to catch eat and safe

[@user-bb4li9qv4m]

I've noticed when hunting in reefy areas, if the fish I'm targeting is showing some interest but doesn't come close I try to hide a little bit from it and it usually prompts it to come closer for a better look.

[@patrickherb4670]

Can you do a video on sharpening the rod please.

[@kettlebells-ez9xi]

Just use a hand sander or a grinder

[@maxmackinlay618]

Once you are swimming along the bottom in hunt mode do you turn off the safety and then turn it on again before swimming up for air?

[@ADRENO]

Ideally you won't need to turn your safety off,a s you will have shot the perfect fish, but if not then yes turn it back before swimming to the surface. It's also important to remeber to ensure if you haven't been able to shoot a fish that you unload your speargun before handing it back into the boat, and also even if the safety is on, to never point in the direction of a person under any circumstances.

[@stoner4life156]

Can someone tell me what the blue speargun is that’s on the table?

[@ADRENO]

This is a limited edition Rob Allen Carbon GT speargun. We only have the roller versions of this available at present.

[@robertschweppenhauser9891]

Can you FART would that also frighten the fish

[@eduardojrombe8224]

I like spear fishing. I wish someday I have my own diving suit 😢😢😢😢

[@psychedelicpanda6189]

1st comment.. hmmm what to say..... great vid!

[@lknanml]

Pop a beer, drop the dynamite over the side and gun the motor? Lets see what the vid says. WOW. I was way off......... I've always wanted to prank someone like this. Accidently drop some (fake) dynamite in the boat yelling OH SHIT and pretend to start jumping out of the boat stopping at the last second as they jump. As they hit the water toss a floating shark fin on the other side of them and yell OH SHIT SHARK!!! While dropping in the boat out of sight. Place bets on which way they would go...

[@camerong5513]

the bg music is nothing but a nuisance otherwise thanks

[@TheEvagoras]

why I am watching this. have any of you mediterranean spearfishing enthusiasts seen an Australian product. question why do you think that is

[@SC-vw1nx]

I will subscribe but you guys doesn’t answer questions

[@jabcrosshookuppercut1793]

Does that moustache of yours hinder the air tight nature of your mask?

[@ADRENO]

Not really, but if you have facial hari, then you can always use silscone grease or vasoline along the edges of your facila hair to improve the seal.

[@aeew]

If you keep doing that intro, I'll unsubscribe... Be careful, I doubt I'm alone in this.

[@ADRENO]

Consider it gone. Next video it shall be removed!

[@jayjenzo2786]

Dont listen to this guy, your channel will grow just by spreading your good knowledge. This guy wants his ego massaged. Your only asking people to subscribe nobody else cares. Probably not even a subsciber, there is nothing wrong with the channel is great

[@YouTube_user3333]

The constant spit swallowing was a little bit much.
