Awesome video. Got a lot better understanding of the gear needed after watching your video
Nice video, cheers from Australia.
I love your speargun!😍
Fantastic video!
Nice video! Thank you.
good stuff ty!
hello, very good gear
Really really nice vid
I love your intro logo
Good stuff man, I am planning on taking my freediving course in Spring of this year. I'm up in Seattle. After I get some experience under my belt I will hit you up to see if we can link up in Oregon.
Best of luck Torrey get it done! Hit me up of you’re in the area and we can go get some fish :)
Thanks for the informative video. I live in Portland but grew up warm water spearfishing and am considering picking it again after seeing your videos. But I have one question--what is that yellow cylinder taped at the end of your gun?
Dennis, thats a ballast that I use so my gun does not sink as fast when I release it. Also it points the gun upward when I drop it so when I have my gopro on the gun it records me when I drop the gun and deal with getting the fish off the hook.
All very good things, Borce! After all, Washington ain't Kauai, and our water's just a little different, yes? I've dived and surfed all over the world, and hunting here, without tanks, is demanding. All very good points!
Absolutely Alex, very different and hard to fish here due to bad visibility but I guess that makes us more stealthier and we can get closer to the fish.
Awesome vid! I'm thinking about getting into spearfishing in the summer, so this vid was very helpful! Have seals/sealions ever stolen your fishes while it was hanging on the stringer from your float?
Thank you, glad the video was able to help you. I have not had any issues with seals. They tend to stay away and are scared to come up too close. I know down in California thats a different story but here in Oregon I have not had any issues.
Hi. Amazing video. Very helpful. Question ... Can I swim in off the shore and spearfish. And if the current pulls me in... Do I use my floater ?
Hey Huzaifa, yes there are people that swim from shore but you have to keep an eye out for the waves. If the surf is large then it might be difficult to swim out. Also keep in mind on the incoming and outgoing tides. If there is a big tide shift you might get pulled out and it will be hard to swim back. I’d recommend using a kayak or a boat if you are going off shore. Safety first
I am now starting spearfishing what i want to know is what to expect because i will be doing it off rocks
kwesi are you planning on fishing off the jetty? What type of rocks are you talking about?
@@borce32 literally off rocks
Hey Borce, where is this exactly? I'm in Brookings for the week and having trouble finding a good spot. The surf is not helping, but I'm also being cautious about getting into unknown water with current risks. Any advice would be great!
I havent dove in the Brookings area but have dove in the Coos Bay area. I have dove at Sampson Reef which was a great dive. Sorry I missed your comment :(
Do you think a 100cm gun is to big for the oregon cost ? Thanks
Yes I do, I think its overkill and you will only be able to use it in good visibility. My experience is on average visibility is around 8ft so a smaller gun is better. You could have two options tho and use whichever is needed.
Hello, nice video. name of the snorkel please. Thank you
Univision its a simple j snorkel from Omer I believe.
For gloves I’ve been told gardening gloves are crap but what about those cut proof gloves? I’m going to college in Hawaii next year and am trying to do this more on the budget side
Jared I think for you it won’t matter since water in Hawaii is super warm. Get anything that feels comfortable. I’d go to Ace Hardware and try some stuff out if you dont want to spend $25 on gloves.
Borce Atanasov you think that applies for diving socks and wetsuits too or are those for protection as well as warmth
Jared If I were spearfishing in Hawaii, I wouldnt wear a wetsuit since its plenty warm but its still nice to be protected from reefs and camouflaged. I think its worth investing in good gear. It will last you for a long time.
Borce Thanks. This helps a lot
Jared Anytime man, reach out if you have any more question.
are sharks something you worry about here in Oregon?
William Cutting its something that I personally dont worry about. I know they are out there bit most of the spots I do my fishing is closer to shore and in bays which they rarely come in.
@@borce32 thanks for making the vid and the reply good sir
hey man what light do you use?
I like using big blue. They are high quality lights but I’ve also used plenty of cheap $20 ones in case I end up losing it.
@@borce32 awesome thanks a ton man. your lingcod videos are so cool btw.
Yo what fins are those? Look like Leaderfins. I’m buying these next week.
Yep leaderfins. They are amazing!
I’ve decided to go with their pure carbon fins. Is the foot pocket size the same as your shoes?
@@mik3mill3r11 yes pretty close. I ended up getting a 43 I believe and thats my shoe size. Normally people say go larger because of the socks so it depends on the thickness of socks you are using. I wear 3mm socks and I like my fins fitting snug. What stiffness did you get?
Borce Atanasov nice. I’m ordering the black camo full carbon with soft stiffness. I’m 5’10” and 160. My legs aren’t the strongest and I like to move slow so I think they’ll suit me well.
Borce Atanasov i’m excited to take the free diving basics at my local diving center. Seems a little expensive but I know it could save my life so I’m making the investment.
Best Newby spot to get in the water?
I’d start off with a local pool and get comfortable there, then work your way up to a small local lake or river. Where are you located? Are you looking to do coastal diving?
@Borce Atanasov yes I'm getting into spear fishing and I live in oregon. I grew up on the gulf but we don't need wet suits there so that is new to me.
@@steffenwolf3200 what part of Oregon are you located in?
@Borce Atanasov grants pass but I fish brookings gold beach crescent city and Newport.
If you aren’t talking tomato’s I don’t wanna talk about it
Katieandthebees Hahaha so awesome! 😂
