Spearfishing at Talland Bay (Cornwall) Bass and my first Mackerel!!!

Спорт

Spearfishing at the regular BSA competition venue of Talland Bay, near Plymouth. Talland Bay holds a variety of species, whilst I had Bass and Mackerel, Bobby burns took a good Dover Sole and a Cuttlefish from the sandy areas.
Shooting a Mackeral whilst spearfishing was a particular goal of mine, Mackerel are small and fast moving, and regarded as a difficult species to spear in the UK due to this. However their meat is absolutely delicous, a rich oily flesh, fantastic on the BBQ or when fried
If you enjoy the content it really helps the channel out if you like & subscribe, let me know if there's anything you'd like to see a video about in the comments, am thinking of doing a video on how I doubled my breath hold times so if that would be helpful I'd love to hear from you!

    My “ex-girlfriend” was pretending to be pregnant, is an absolute classic line! Hope you've not suffered too much heartache/break, brother. Great session, would have enjoyed seeing the cook up too! Hopefully the lack of sea life was due to tides, as you said, because thinking we've over-fished, polluted, or, in some other way, destroyed so beautiful an ecosystem simply doesn't bare thinking about! We live up on the North Coast of Cornwall, near Portreath, Porthtowan area, and it really is a little slice of purest heaven! 🤍

    Talland was a pretty tough mark, saw 4-8 other divers in the water both times I was there, and I think the fish definately prefer quieter places Was not ideal circumstances on that trip for sure!

    Thanks, would like to target a few different species this season, a Sole from N Wales is the main goal as I've seen a few small ones but haven't heard of anyone actually taking one!

    Great video, shooting mackerel is always fun! I also wondered why every time I go to Pembrokeshire it feels like there is significantly more fish and crustaceans that in English channel. The visibility usually poorer but even in 1-2m vis I managed bass (they approach up close), this rarely happens in Devon/Cornwall. Could be a self-persuasion though :)

    Had the same experience. In Cornish areas that get speared a lot the fish spook very easily, North Wales they just don’t spook

    Nice stuff,a mate of mine shot a pipe fish once ! We ate it,and the bones were bright verdigris green.Hell of a shot,it was about twice as wide as his spear tip ! Tasted quite nice.

    Have eated a few and they're good aren't they. Seen loads surging past when off the Llyn headlands but never actually pulled the trigger on a Garfish, they're so thin and fast moving it's hard to line a shot up
