    Greay video mate. I'm pretty sure ive seen every single spearfishing video on yotube twoce, and then some. Your's is byfar the most informative and instrictional, thank you so much, i learned lots from that. You’ve also given me a confidence boost for spearing on the North devon coast 🤟🏼

      Glad you enjoyed it, always trying to add more value than the standard catch & cook videos everyone else does!

      @@jackmetcalfe8542 Yeah people don't seem to want to cover the hunting techniques and use of ground as much! But your videos help other spearos like me when thinking about how to approach new areas so thanks!

    I went spearfishing at the end of May, a bit closer to Nefyn. I didn't see anything except for some small pollock, a lot of crabs, and one seal )). In your case was very good visibility. Great shots!

    We must be just missing each other at that spot! I have kept to the shallows dodging boats over the weekend. Great video.

      I go a long long way out (45 minutes swim) there’s some pinnacles that are covered at low tide which always hold large Bass
      Got bored of shooting Plaice off the surface!

    I was just re watching your flattie hunting vids and wondering why you'd not released any content recently. Then next second you pop up on my feed 😂😂 Another very informative one, thank you...

    Hi jack. Excellent videos and i look forward to more. I'm visiting north wales in august and was wondering how i might get in touch with you about the possibility of you taking me out for a beginners tour or something like that. Thanks.

      Message me on Instagram when you know the dates. I know a couple of guys who can do a days guided Spearfishing if I’m not available
      Both very good, one is like me an ex-Marine, the other served in the Army

    Good video Jack, i dont live far from you and travel up the llyn from porth ysgaden and the tip off uwchmynydd. I have been around the Maen mellt with a fiahing kayak with sonar&charts and did quite well a bit further out for bigger pollack just where it drops off a bit on the chart. Hopefully should see you up there one day. Great instructional video.great session to watch.

    • @jackmetcalfe8542

      Some fierce currents in that area! Very difficult to spear. I just used the screenshots for illustration - definitely not giving the actual mark up!

    Great video👍. I recently tried spearfishing for the first time, we shore dived in from church bay northwest Anglesey. Unfortunately The visibility was around 1m so we had to call it a day. What are ways you can predict visibility around north wales.?

    • @jackmetcalfe8542
      @jackmetcalfe8542  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      1 - Wait until mid May, algae bloom is before that
      2 - Anglesey is much better on neap tides
      3 - The west coast of Anglesey has WAY better vis than north or east
      4 - Dive marks out of the main tidal stream when there is suspected sediment. The tidal stream is especially visible at Treudder bay where vis can be 10m in the shallows but 3m in the current
      I dived the east coast today, on a neap tide, zero swell or waves at the best time of year for vis and still only got 4m

    Nice to see you uploading again.. question how much weight do you use for diving to around 5m

    • @jackmetcalfe8542
      @jackmetcalfe8542  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      In this video I’m in an 8mm suit with 12kg of lead
      But usually I dive in a 7/5mm suit and 7kg on the belt for shallow dives
      Dropping that to 5kg if hunting at deeper depths

    Hi jack, me and a friend are coming to Anglesey next week to try spearfishing, can you recommend and good places to practise spearfishing/diving.

    • @jackmetcalfe8542
      @jackmetcalfe8542  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Cable Bay is an extremely safe mark that I have shot excellent fish at
      Holds Flounder in the shallows, Bass on the reefs to each side and some shootable Pollock in the 30-40cm range off the headland
      Aside from that try Treudder Bay and the reefs around Rhosneigr
