[timayliffe]

Regarding the continuing questions on which gun I was using and what depth we were diving - please refer to the video description.

Estimated fish sizes: Maccy 32kg (bleed & gutted), Dhu circa 12-14kg, trout circa 7kg

Cheers for all the positive comments and interest!

Kind regards, Tim

[sharkbiscuits4life]

Awsome vid. How big was the maccy?

Also it looks like you shoot a buffy, but you shot a coral trout underneath :D.

We all know which one tastes better :P

[Inaki2794]

great video!!

for how long can you hold your breath btw?? haha

[christiananton]

Excellent choice of music, great editing. Every shot timed perfectly with the music. Gave a sense of mystery and angst, just before the shot.

[kuruki213]

Are you an army sniper?? that shot at 2:35 while you hid in the dark was epic, headshot

nice vid btw

=)

[timayliffe]

Free dive only mate.

[johnniwonton1976]

What camera you using there mate? Great shots(camera and fish)! House mates n i shoot at fads for dollies, west end rotto for macks n Dongara.

[timayliffe]

GoPro Hero Wide Angle

[alekscee]

amazing quality, and quite cheap cameras hey?

[timayliffe]

Yep they're bloody good value! I've got the latest HD version which takes phenomenal video on land, but doesn't seem to focus underwater...quite vexing! I'm going to send them an email to see if I've missed anything.

[mbva]

@timayliffe: Fantastic video mate!

I'm thinking about getting a HD Hero myself. Did you hear back from them about the auto-focus underwater?

Also, how did you attach the camera to your head? I emailed the guys at Go Pro and they said they would be releasing the wrist mount for the HD soon. But if there's a good way of attaching to your head then I think that'd be much better than a wrist-cam!

Cheers mate!

[timayliffe]

@mbva I just order a replacement to the HD gopro I lost kitesurfing. It looks like you can buy a 'fixed' housing from 3rd parties.

[overdue1970]

Love the vid. im only 13 and i go spearin with my dad in QLD. I think it great the other day i speared a nice golden trevally

[superjb1245]

lol at the intro nice vid post more

[alekscee]

bloody awesome and well edited vid!

bring on December 15th hey ;)

[timayliffe]

Cheers mate! Yeh I'm dead set frothing for the season to open again...we've been doing a fair bit of exploration for new ground in the down time. Let me know if you're up in Geraldton way and I'll tee up a dive! Cheers, Tim

[alekscee]

Sweet

Im sure I will take u up on that offer in the next few months

Bloody wind down here in Perth is keeping me in : |

U guys getting consistent mackies there now?

ps are u a member of BWFD?

[timayliffe]

Yeh mate, the mackies are about...but its pretty hard to see them due to the wind/poor viz. I've been meaning to join the BWFD club, but no one can give me a straight answer on what the insurance actually covers. Seem like it doesn't cover all the critical stuff you'd actually need.

[jakeboydog]

where abouts was this filmed mate? or is it secret...

Great vid btw

[timayliffe]

It was filmed throughout the Mid West of Western Australia.

[jakeboydog]

cheers

[Dovieye]

Very well put together vid an instant hit. Just wondering what was the average depth you are diving to in the vid and roughly what sort of time would you spend under water to make a comfortable ascent. cheers and post more. Represent W.A :)

[timayliffe]

Thanks mate! Depth varies between 5 and 17metres. Based on video footage, I estimate the average dive time varies between 1 - 2 minutes, however I don't own a dive watch and make a point of never rating my performance on bottom time. For me, it's all about listening to my body on the day. Hope this helps, Tim

[Dovieye]

cheers dude for the info and the tip :).

[spearmad]

clear water, great fish

sweet vid, thanks for sharing

[sinnimneb]

what shooting line u using ???

is it just normal mono or what?

[timayliffe]

I use 2.5mm dyneema, which is a very strong type of braided line.

[seanmurray90]

i just went pole spear fishing a coupple days ago 4 the first time. it was the most beautiful thing ive done in a while. so pritty . ive wanted 2 do it 4 years ever since i started body boarding and bodysurfing a cupple years back, and just now did it. i need a fishing license cause im 19 , but once i get it ima go fish every time in in the water 3 times a week,, crescent bay in southern california is where i went and will be going for a verrry verryyy long time.

[jeffie524]

farrr out best spearfishing video out there YET! im new to spearfishing, curious question arnt u guys scared of attracting sharks?? because when i go for a spearo i get really nervous and scared..

p.s PLS MAKE MORE VIDS

[timayliffe]

Hi Jeff, if it makes you feel any better sharks still make me a little nervous when I'm diving by myself, and i still remember how I was REALLY nervous when i started out spearing. I would recommend starting out in 4-10m ground with a good team of mates. Diving the same ground helps you to become comfortable with your surroundings and having a good team around you gives added piece of mind. I really think it comes down to doing the time in the water, and if all else fails, buy as shark shield.

[jeffie524]

cheers btw do u see sharks often? or is it rare?

[timayliffe]

Depends mate on where you're diving. In Exmouth I saw sharks on every dive. However, in the mid west of W.A, I've only seen 3 sharks in about 2 years of diving. In all of the encounters I've had with sharks, I've never once felt as though they saw me as a source of food.

[mkrkac1]

I love to watch good video, completed with good music!

[RAISnHELLL]

This is one sick vid! Great Job!

[StupidKunt09]

fucking awesome vid. fucking best camera angles ive eva seen.

was that a helmet cam or do u have 3 arms :D

but heaps high quality n in the moment,

any details on ur vid setup would be appreciated

cheers

[timayliffe]

G'day mate, I'm glad you like the video! It was shot with a GoPro Wide angle camera, head mounted. I think head mounted gives a much better perspective to spearfishing and immerses the viewer more in what the diver sees...plus you don't miss the spear impact from the recoil like you get being gun mounted. Good luck!

[spearorob]

Fantastic awsome vid Head mount great idea so true about recoil . We have being thinking about rubber mounts etc BUT head mount to good thanks for the idea, and while this sht weather hangs around nothing better to do.Any help appreiciated

[timayliffe]

Cheers mate! The head mount setup I'm using is the stock standard that comes with the GoPro. It's basically a head torch strap with a small plastic mount at the front. I think you'd be able to buy a cheap head torch and make a similar mount from fiberglass for you camera of choice. The GoPro is okay, but its not HD. I've ordered a ContourHD with a water housing, and I recommend you check these out over a GoPro if you intend to put your footage on the TV. Good luck!

[sikig221]

nice.i have a rob allen sparid 900 with one 16mm band and 6.6mm shaft. would it be better with one 18mm band or 2 16mm bands?need reply asap.

[timayliffe]

I'd stick with the 16mm band, unless you have a 18mm band with a medium to long band length. Yesterday I tried my HF with a 20mm band and 6.5mm shaft and it was totally inaccurate due to spear whip. I'll be switching back to the 18mm band.

[StupidKunt09]

6.6 shaft with a 16mm is fine. anything more is ridiculous

more power doesnt mean more fish, the truth is u just need to get closer to ur fish.

2 16mm will just be overpwoered and innacurate.

18mm is hectic, would go through a car door with that. its alot for a 6.6 shaft

[timayliffe]

I tend to agree on more power doesn't equate to more fish, however the problem we have over here is VERY thick fish. A lot of the time you can shoot a Dhufish or Baldchin from close range with a 6.5mm shaft and the spear will only just penetrate the other side of the fish. As a result, I'm changing to a 7mm shaft for more inertia and thus travel through the fish.

[ifishanyweather]

first fish i ever shot with a speargun was a massive shaws cowfish (mitaken for a leather jacket) and it almost broke my shaft it was like shooting a rock.

[StupidKunt09]

true. i didnt consider that you guys were shooting bigger fish.

be personally i like longer shafts @ 7.5 with 20mm because of accuracy and penitration.

but on a 900 i dont rekkon its worth it.

all in all i love my 1m RA reel gun. 7mm with 1x 16mm band, does wonders for comps and caves.

but i have lost a few big fish because of the lack of penetration, but im talkin bout 20kg+ kings

most fish it does the job

[ifishanyweather]

what gun r u usin

[timayliffe]

Personally, I was using an Omer 1.1m HF with an 18mm band and 6.5mm shaft.

[shanecross4life]
