Hunting big Pollock and Bass at wild marks in the Atlantic (Spearfishing in Ireland)

A superb trip to the Republic of Ireland. Spearfishing in Ireland is still relatively new, although there are a few pretty good divers shooting some exceptional fish. The average size of the fish is much bigger than in the UK, and there are different species present such as Bluefin Tuna and Amberjack.
Marks are absolutely wild, often very remote, with little evidence of commercial fishing. I shot a number of excellent Pollock and some nice Bass & Mullet, including a new personal best taken in the shallows which unfortunately I didn't capture on video.
Thanks to Andy Clear for hosting me and showing me around, really appreciated it and we had some amazing dives together!

    Love your channel mate. Favourite spear fishing vids on youtube. Love the way you film them and talk us through your process and what your thinking on the dive. Thank you for not having some over shot intro with dramatic music!!! keep up the good work. Cheers

    I've just got into spearfishing admittedly in the carribean where visibility is 20 odd metres. But I'm from the south where you were shooting and when I move home I want to keep it up... this is my invitation to free accommodation and we can use my boat when I'm home if you want... All I want in return is lessons 😆

    Great Vid, Joe. I went to southern Ireland last year and it was the clearest water I'd ever been in. And I didn't bring my kit with me!! So, a return trip is planned!

    Glad to to see you had a good trip to Ireland... the swell is always present and has been getting steadily more constant over the last 10 - 20 years. Guessing you were a little further south form where we are here in Sligo (north west) Bass are very rarely seen up here... as a newbie to spearfishing its great to see how you guys get on. I often give up when the vis is bad and its a little cut up, having watched this video I'll perseverea bit longer on the trip out....

    Looks like the farmer uses that land cruiser as a loading shovel.

    amazing. love the video. We are heading to NW Ireland with our gear - spears and surfboards. Quick question? You dive alone?

    Your video's are actually kind of therapeutic. I guess because there's no drama in your voice and the underwater world is fairly serene. I'd love to try the same, but unfortunately badly damaged my eardrum snorkeling in Faliraki, Rhodes back in the late 80's and I'm in agony after 7-8' under.
