So I watched the octopus teacher on Netflix, and I almost lost my lunch, but then I saw how popular it was, and since I’m super shallow I decided to join the masses, better I did my own spearfishing version! I super woke now, you’ll see! Try not to puke and get to 35 seconds.… Read More »
I returned to Montreal for the summer. Time was not wasted to head into the St-Laurent! I had to test the new mask I had purchased on Aliexpress! That thing is a very very good copy of the masks used in James Bond’s Thunderball. The speargun used here is the Cabalero Plastic. It’s not even… Read More »
Ca fait un bout de temps que j’attends que youtube nous permettent de faire des versions en différentes langues pour nos vidéos. Évidemment, ca n’arrivera jamais (ai-je conclu). J’ai donc commencé une autre chaine. Les vidéos ne sont pas identiques toutefois. Les narrations ne s’équivalent vraiment pas, j’ai tout autre chose à dire en français… Read More »
Most days are slow days during winter in Baja. The fishing is difficult, deep and the water is cold. People showing up during the winter are shocked by how challenging it can be. I’ll shoot fish but I have to work for them. Fortunately, there are some fish that stick around. One of them is… Read More »
When it comes to Cuberas, you don’t have much time to shoot when they are outside of their holes. It’s a quick draw game. Otherwise you have to follow them to see where they will hole-up and hope it’s not in a maze of boulders with 1000 exits, which is exactly what I was dealing… Read More »
Yesterday I shot a 31 pound yellowtail from the bottom and it took 30 meters of reel line before I reached the surface. It swam all over the place in the rocks and it took me 15 minutes to get to the fish. By that time three morey eels were eating its guts. I was… Read More »
Je viens d’apprendre que je ne peux plus retourner au Canada! Ca tombe bien, je n’étais pas chaud à l’idée des couvre-feux et de l’interdiction de voyager. 🤣 A Baja, la vie normale suit son cour. Évidemment il y a des cas de covid mais personne ne panique. À La Paz, où je suis, ce… Read More »
Channel catfish is my new favorite freshwater fish! The channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) are found in heavy current and most divers and spearfishermen have rarely even seen this type of catfish. It’s called “barbu” in Québec and here is the government chart for the fish : https://mffp.gouv.qc.ca/faune/peche/poissons/barbue.jsp To be honest, it’s barely “spearfishable”. You may… Read More »
There it is! I made a roller speargun with clothe-line rollers and a 5$ cedar plank, and it shoots great!
For years, I waited for a side by side comparison of rollers vs standard spearguns. Oddly, there were none. So I made a roller and now we have a comparison.
