SPEARO LIFE - EPISODE 10 INSANE CONDITIONS in Winter!!! (Crispy Fried Fish Cook-up)

In this video join Joe Pike and chef Barcley in some insanely good spearfishing conditions off the south coast... in winter! We made a fried fish recipe which was delicious!!

[@iluvpugstoo]

Your 'B' roll is clearly an 'A'. Tremendous piece of film making. Gorgeous drone content. Thanks Joe !

[@JoePkSpearfishing]

Wow, thanks! 😃

[@sparker9309]

"Life's a rapp!" You've really made this lunchtime one to savour with another stonking collection of camerawork, action, chat and cuisine. This is a perfect tonic for frustrated winter spearos who still have to work, but cannot go diving when they finish! Another 100% feel-good video... Bon appetite both😋. Many thanks.

[@JoePkSpearfishing]

Thanks for this epic comment! At least by spring and as the waters warm we should be good to go!

[@sparker9309]

@@JoePkSpearfishingJoe, it is your combinations of topside, aerial, and submarine footage that really inspire visually. I think the more recent chatty bits after some great cook-ups, help others to feel more personally involved with the whole spearfishing scene. It has to be good for the sport, especially if others follow your lead on sustainability and ethical issues of this fabulous technique. Maybe even encourage folks to remove plastics each dive?, every bit helps and you as role models can set a great precedent. Await a Bream video!! (Ps, How much does the smoothskin jacket help? 5or7mm?) Cheers. S

[@JoePkSpearfishing]

@@sparker9309 Thanks so much again for these words. The smoothskin is more of a priority for boat diving as getting on and off the boat can result in wind chill and the smooth skins negate this. I would recomment the usual open cell for the most part 👌

I can’t wait to get into this sport/ sustainable fishing method 🤘🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Another great video. Lovely clear water. I enjoyed watching the shallower water hunting. It's a great example to people starting off that they don't need to dive deep to get their hands on some fish! 🐟.

[@JoePkSpearfishing]

Thanks Wes!

[@tealforce1]

Had a bad morning just feeling down about the darn lockdown seeing this has changed my mood, I so hope and pray we can be out again in early spring Keep up the great work and take care

@@JoePkSpearfishing Do you often Dive in Cornwall?

[@DontStopBrent]

Joe, concerning your next vid....it doesn’t really matter what you guys do. It doesn’t matter to us, as an audience, if you’re repeating shore dives or the pinnacle. It’s just good entertainment, training, and the vicarious fun we have watching you do your friendship together. As for me, don’t stress over something new. This isn’t television. It’s not a competition. I think your channel is taking off because people enjoy you, Barcley, your family..etc. My advice is plan on doing what’s available and what you enjoy, even if it gets repetitive in your mind. It isn’t to us. We are going to watch no matter what you pick for us. Just do “Joe and Company”.

[@JoePkSpearfishing]

Thanks so much Brent. I had your words on my mind as we filmed an adventure on the weekend. I’m so fortunate to have viewers like yourself who other such valuable and motivating feedback 😊 Take care 👌

Awesome drone shots and great to see such healthy fish populations. An equivalent to your mullet in south florida, about seeing it as often and being fun, i'd say would be the yellow jacks! Glad to see you're still having fun shooting the fish after so long, it's the little thing. That recipe looks awesome! I'll have to try that one day.

[@hungrybisdak9333]

i missed fresh fish😋😋😋

[@clementjavano2706]

Nice one ! Can we have the mullet roe recipe ? It's funny cause in south of France most fisherman and spearos don't shoot mullet as they're not considering it as a noble fish. Quite different in the uk :)

[@JoePkSpearfishing]

Yes I'll get it from Barcley! That's interesting. They still have a fairly bad rep in the UK as well... 😌

Awesome video dude! Not so sure about the sweet and sour sauce though, ketchup and vinegar 😅 I had great success hunting the shallows in Cornwall in September, saw a wide variety of fish and shot many of them 😁

Are you wearing 5mm? Grey mullet roe is also a delicacy in the Mediterranean, most Mediterranean peoples have a recipe for drying it. The Italians call it Bottarga after it has been salted and dried, they they use it like you would do parmesan or a truffle.

[@JoePkSpearfishing]

8mm! I have to give bottarga a go! Thanks

[@johannesl5440]

For how long should the fish be in the oil, and how hot is it? Great vid btw. I really enjoy these

Question: Which precautions do you take to not have a blackout? What is your backup plan if it happens? I am very interested in spearfishing but I have huge respect for the sea.

[@JoePkSpearfishing]

Good question. The best advice I can think of is to use a dive watch to ensure you rest on the surface for more than twice your dive time in between dives. Also, don’t push your breathold beyond your comfort zone. Anything over 2 mins is just too risky. Finally. Never drink alcohol night before a dive and never dive If you’re really tired.

Love the whole video, but really enjoyed the drone footage and being able to see the areas where cliffs have eroded in to the sea. The fantastic visibility makes it possible to see the whole geographical process. I often find if you approach these areas from deeper water you can sandwich mainly Mullet, but sometimes Bass up against the shore line.
