Spearfishing for Mulloway / Jewfish on coastal headlands

[@CommissarKane]

Out of all the spearfishing channels I've gone through, yours has to be the best. You explain everything clearly and awesome video quality.

[@dashredda4998]

So far out of everything I've seen you have the best spearfishing channel, the commentary & variation of locations is just right. Just wish there was more content !

[@DanielMann]

Thank you very much Dash, means a lot to me! I'll endeavour to keep adding content when I can.

[@stewyboy2k]

This just popped up in the Algo, thought I’d watched them all. 7 years ago and still a sick video. Accent has changed a bit since ;). Love the music and good to see Tim effusive as ever!

[@slow_diver]

Thank you this is really helpful. I'm diving the right headlands, just haven't found them with a few trips north under my belt. This should help next trip.

[@DanielMann]

Thanks mate! Part two will but up shortly which focuses on finding them offshore.

[@shorebread7d]

ive worked in fish co ops for years. always knew about the gems but never actually knew what they looked like! thanks will derfinatly extract them from now on

[@DanielMann]

You would have quite the collection of them by now I imagine Bryce. Once you get the knack of it the process is pretty quick to do.

[@scotthopgood8317]

awesome vid mate I'll be putting some effort in this year now to spearing my first Jew ..very informative and well put together vid mate , cheers

[@DanielMann]

Cheers Scott!

[@antonposa5345]

Great video mate, thanks for the tips!

[@swals78]

very informative vid mate nicely done

[@DanielMann]

Cheers Steven, feel free to share to others who may benefit from it!

[@LearningToHuman]

Loving this old documentary-style video mate. Was looking for info on hunting Mulloway and ofcourse yours pops up first! Hoping to find some along the coast of NSW over the next month. Thanks! 😁

[@DanielMann]

I’m sure you’ll run into some north of Sydney!

[@cornpop..9921]

Awesome vid and narrating mate heading to Lennox soon🤙🤙

[@JETTIEROCKSFISHINGwithMIKED]

Those are some cool looking fish..awesome video man..tight lines

[@MrMikew7808]

Good video in Spain we call this fishies corvina and the otolites were used by the sailors to do jewelry

[@DanielMann]

Thanks Miguel, we collect the otoliths as well however I don't think our women like them as jewellery!

[@MrMikew7808]

Daniel Mann here is traditional the otolithes looks like virgens ,you know religious images, so that's the reason it's used in jewels

[@Orcida_1968]

Ty bro awesome have a great weekend is nearly is thursday

[@TheOceanman290]

Great video.

[@lostinventure8486]

Good video!!

[@mossmyd8378]

What do you do about current and rips also great vid help a lot

[@Swandivein]

Hey mate! What type of set up do you recommend for this? I’ve tried creeping up headland gutters but so hard with the float line. Cheers!

[@DanielMann]

I would use a short powerful gun with a reel and anchor my float outside of the gutter with a drop weight. Or use a short floatline about 8m long with a little pull under float.

[@camcrown5724]

when you were standing on the Hastings point headland what was the swell height around because it looks pretty low. great video, keen as now.

[@the_CHAR_official]

Also watch out for wobbies

[@joshurrr]

The commentary is awesome, it helps to understand what I’m watching and for an experienced rifle hunter but a new spear fisherman it really helps, way better than some annoying gay music play list, cheers, got my subscription👍

[@DanielMann]

+josh dichiera thanks for the kind words mate, be sure to check out the other ones on my channel!

[@joshurrr]

Daniel Mann will do mate

[@seanjames1592]

Hey Dann, do you recall what the beach is at 0.53?

[@DanielMann]

Indeed I do! However I’ll be the first to say none of the fish filmed in this video were shot there... just went there for the footage!

[@scitzen]

Where abouts up the coast mate im in newy and looking to go around here the next couple of days

[@DanielMann]

I'm from Brisbane so not sure about Newcastle sorry.

[@buffygordon4206]

Is this Hastings Point head land?

[@DanielMann]

Some cutaways were filmed there yes.

[@saltumau]

what settings are you using on your gopro in the first seen of the school of jew in the clean water ?? Love the vid by the way

[@DanielMann]

Hi mate, I think that was filmed at 50fps on 1080 with protune off and gopro colour space. I tend to film in 2.7K @ 50fps with protune to get a higher bitrate and I find downsampled 2.7K to 1080 looks a lot better. Also gives you options for digital zooms or reframing without loss of quality.

[@saltumau]

Thanks heaps for that

[@saltumau]

really appreciate it

[@markhowe5529]

Daniel are you back in uk soon ? Mark

[@DanielMann]

Currently in France Mark but back in October.

[@shanemachado1422]

These fish remind me of our white seabass. Except our seabass are a lot more of an advanced level fish and are more on the elusive side. But they do have “stones” in the heads that are the exact same

[@jasongauci634]

Question for ya with the size it would be heaps hard knowing wat is legal and wat ain’t , so if you shot a not legal fish obviously you thru it back always wondered on this I’m from Nsw and gunna start spearing

[@DanielMann]

If in doubt don’t pull the trigger. When this was filmed the minimum size in NSW was 45cm which is a very small fish and very easy to tell underwater especially when a 10kg fish swims by.

[@billamon]

Pra que serve os otolitos?

[@amasterfishing5544]

Good to know Jewie's habits from under water footage, we caught 3 big ones, then lost a big one, and never hooked up again, captain said the lost fish may have spooked the school, that's the theory anyway...

[@sgm203]

Damn the Aussie accent was so much stronger back then…

[@stevenwitney1363]

Hey, Just wondering what gun you are using?

[@DanielMann]

A lot of this one is Tim using his Riffe euro but for the carbon fibre guns they are ones I have made myself.

[@stevenwitney1363]

Oh ok cool Thanks mate

[@victorferrera8507]

when you say short gun how short??? 75cm or 80-85 cm???

[@DanielMann]

By Australian standards 900-1050 generally.

[@anonanon5257]

is that coffs coast?

[@DanielMann]

Further north mostly.

[@comeatmebro3229]

is south australia all them fish are more then likely undersize :/ they look around 70ish cm maybe a few would be over the 82cm size limit here

[@DanielMann]

All of the fish shot are well above legal length for the states they were speared in. Most of the free swimming footage of the mulloway are small fish, hence them being left alone. Thanks for watching!

[@comeatmebro3229]

i know there legal size for your state i was just saying if i was to do this i wouldn't be game enough to spear any on those fish because of our larger size limits :/

[@DanielMann]

82cm is still a pretty small mulloway, probably only 6 or 7kg. Good luck!

[@RobKidnie]

subscribed! great vid :)

[@DanielMann]

Cheer Rob!

[@jarmokalinski1390]

For a moment I thought it's narrated by someone else, the accent's changed :)

[@DanielMann]

I think I narrated this nearly 10 years ago. 7 years living in the U.K. will change your accent!

[@jarmokalinski1390]

@@DanielMann I can imagine! Btw your UK vids make me consider it as a place to go work next👍

[@zacallen5590]

Did you spear these fish at Caba headland

[@DanielMann]

Zac Allen Nothing in this video was shot at cabba. I have shot a few small fish there a long time ago but it's generally not a place big fish will frequent.

[@Rb30ify]

used to be fish there but once the divers have been, there all gone just like the places in this video will be..... Its inevitable.....

[@sgtcaco]

Don't forget all the bait fisherman that smash them more frequently,not to start arguments but there are way more fish court on rod n reel then spear.

[@Rb30ify]

Yep just like the blue groper only allowed to be taken by line......Future will repeat its self so don't try and justify your ways......

[@sgtcaco]

I don't need to justify anything,You should not be so narrow minded,don't forget super trawlers ,illegal shark fishing world pollution and the list goes on,Now the spearfisherman don't look so bad hey.Do you understand what I am saying mate??

[@brysonr8294]

Where do you locally spearfish?

[@DanielMann]

Used to spear Moreton island a lot when living in Australia.

[@eddiea5264]

what did u normally shoot around there? reef fish, pelagics ... ?

[@DanielMann]

A mix of reef and pelagic fish.

[@eddiea5264]

Thanks, I am looking to go out there, but I heard there are heaps of sharks and I am pretty young and scared haha.

[@DanielMann]

I see loads more sharks at Moreton and Stradbroke Islands than Tweed Heads. Go with someone experiences and you’ll be fine.

[@nicholasjessop428]

I like spearing off Hastings point it’s not a bad sport ay

[@DanielMann]

+Nicholas Jessop it’s been a long time since I’ve dived it but seen some big snapper and sharks there.

[@robertmanley3472]

Now that I am becoming more familiar with your video catalog, the more I want to sell of all I own and relocate. Too much chaos here in the United States. Been checking into the oil rigs off Norway....but I don't speak Norwegian..... soooooo... Would I be correct in assuming that most of you are from the U.K. ? Great videos.....not flashing T & A......just the real deal . Not that there is anything wrong with T & A........its just that there is plenty of that elsewhere . Keep up the good work . Safety First (though I should listen to my own advice as I prefer to dive and spearfish solo......enjoy the peace and tranquility......becoming one with nature . Perhaps we meet up in a hot spot some day......please don't spear me...... I'm not a fish.....just live like one ! ! ! HAPPY HUNTING MATES

[@DanielMann]

Most of the people on my channel are from Australia, I’ve been living in the U.K. for the past few years though. T & A isn’t my style, I don’t like the culture that it breeds. Every Norwegian I’ve met speaks very good English so unless it’s a job requirement to speak Norske you’d be fine.

[@robertmanley3472]

Daniel Mann wise young man. That's called using your head.....the one connected to your shoulders. Of all the channels I prefer yours......simply because it's not over the top promoting stupid dangerous spearfishing techniques . It's realistic. That you take the time to reply says a lot about what you're made of........and is a welcome bonus . When I wasn't in the water growing up......i was on a surfboard....something I truly miss and hope to get back into soon (no waves where I'm presently living). 2 of my favorite quotes : The greatest good you can do for another is not just share your riches, but reveal to their own. - Benjamin Disraeli Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path, and leave a trail . - Ralph Waldo Emerson HAPPY HUNTING Robert Scott Manley Florida USA

[@10Camix]

Ok

[@cableties2656]

in NSW or VIC do you ever run into sharks this close in land?

[@DanielMann]

Never dived Victoria but yes in NSW & QLD.

[@cableties2656]

@@DanielMann 1. would you go spearfishing inlands like this on your own and still feel safe? 2. would you say its same risk or more? risk compared to blue water spearfishing?

[@DanielMann]

If I know it’s a sharky place I wouldn’t go by myself if I had the choice of going with someone else.

[@victorferrera8507]

yummy good eating......

[@coleoneil8540]

Give me your jewels Jew!!!

[@olimoody7020]

Whats the reasoning for extracting the Jewels mate?

[@DanielMann]

They are the ear bones from the fish and can be cut in half, dyed and growth rings counted (like a tree) to determine the age but mostly just as a memento for capturing one.

[@olimoody7020]

Yeah nice! New they were the ear bones but didn't realise they could be used for that. Love the vids mate.

[@ancientmariner7473]

Americans used to do a similar thing with ears in Vietnam but kept them on a length of string.....

[@MrSwatsteven]

Man love the channel, but gotta just call em mulloway x) calling them jew sounds bad, especially when your talking about "stalking the jew" great vid though!

[@victorferrera8507]
