Spearfishing Devon in early Spring

[@christophersmith7714]

When I arrived at Hope Cove last June to go kayaking and spearfishing it looked like that! When I woke the next day a storm was blowing and the water mud brown! Damn! I have to go back there! Thanks for posting Joe!

[@JoePkSpearfishing]

Ahh it can change overnight indeed! You must return it's a very cool spot. Thanks for watching Christopher

[@trampster7306]

Cheers for posting that comment - it confirms I had guessed the location correctly!!

[@rythius4294]

Hi joe awesome video I’m literally looking to start spear fishing in Torquay mainly off anstys cove as I only live in Exeter could you give a few basic beginners tips to get started for me and anyone local to Exeter I can pair up with as a dive mate? Many thanks

[@BR0SE1DON]

Congrats for getting out so early guys - great to see the drone footage. Here’s to many more fish this season! 🍻

[@JoePkSpearfishing]

Cheers bud, was bloody cold but a good laugh and that's the main thing

[@DanielMann]

Awesome Joe! Really easy to watch and the drone footage adds another dimension to it. I'd recommend turning off obstacle avoidance when flying from the boat, makes it much easier to catch it. Also when turning the drone on hold it relatively level instead of laying it on a flat surface like you have, that will get it confused a bit.

[@JoePkSpearfishing]

Ahhh this sounds like sound advice mate, thanks. I'm pleased it survived the first trip at sea!!

[@lab8videos91]

Looks like a learning experience for all involved.. that’s as juicy a prize as any fish.

[@JoePkSpearfishing]

Always! Cheers

[@sebpenty8635]

I love this vid as a snorkeler I only like going shallow but i might venture out a bit

[@alexrobson6856]

Some very nice cinematics sir, Great work !

[@chrisgrigg32]

[@JoePkSpearfishing]

Chris Grigg a miracle that thing is still going

[@daveowen7372]

20 meters? Bloody hell man! Did you build up to that as at about 2 metres my ears are in clip

[@nigelbarrett3602]

Nice video again.

[@omgsurfer]

Was that a necklace in the sand at 3:46?

[@mudgoatmaj1751]

Hey joe nice videos is it legal to travel abroad with spear gun in a suitcase 🧳 if small enough!?

[@kotechfilms9130]

4:59 whats that in the water?

[@jamesselby5303]

Hey pal. I'm pretty new to spear fishing , I'm in salcombe, hope cove alot over the summer. Do you no shallow spots (5m max) where I can go without using a boat? Loving your work. James

[@JoePkSpearfishing]

James selby Hi James- just hit any nearby beach and dive- soar mill, thurlestone, bigbury, arymer, there all great shore dives you don’t need a boat 👌

[@simonstevenson1469]

Great footage, what’s the shore diving like around there off Hope? Am there for a week during Easter hoping to get a bit of spear fishing in, thanks

[@JoePkSpearfishing]

It's excellent. Everything is there. And the viz can be awesome!

[@LukeStephenson]

Great video, cheers for sharing. Noob question... Do you have to pay any kind of launch fee the use that boat ramp? Also, what drone is that?

[@JoePkSpearfishing]

Luke Stephenson hi Luke, there is a launch fee it’s 5£ for the day. The drone is the DJI mavic air. Cheers

[@denmyos]

Do you train doing the off season, and how.? 20m at the beginning of the season, is quiet deep.!

[@JoePkSpearfishing]

I dive through the winter and keep used to the depth, looking for scallops and lobster. I don't train but I try to keep in reasonable shape I guess.

[@gavfreeborn2793]

Hi I've watched loads of your videos, how long do you have to hold your breath to do spearfishing and can you recommend any breath holding techniques

[@JoePkSpearfishing]

Thanks Gav. Spearfishing is less of a long breath hold and more about knowing where the fish are! There's no rule about how long - in the UK you can get good fish with 10 seconds of bottom time! My dives at the moment are about 1 min 30 but I used to catch some nice fish with a 40 seconds dive.

@@JoePkSpearfishing thanks for the info I'm looking to give it a go at some point this year I've never done it before so any tips or advice is welcome

[@gavfreeborn2793]

@@JoePkSpearfishing I live near chester but we holliday alot in anglesey so I was thinking about trying it out somewhere around there

[@JoePkSpearfishing]

@@gavfreeborn2793 A fantastic area though I've never been there... head to a spearfishing store, get the basic gear and get in the water.
