Maxed at 14m. Although most fish shot above 8m. 14 is when I miss the spot in shit vis and land on the sand

@@under_jersea Thanks.

At least you guys have decent pollock I think. Whenever I see a 3 pound pollock my heart skips a beat 😂

@@under_jersea 🤣

@@andylewis341 homemade from pine wrapped in fibreglass and epoxy. It works. Bit heavy but great for the shallow stuff. Pain to dive "deep" with which I don't bother to d in Jersey

@TheOnlyMrMaxHugo fantastic comment. Title of my next video although youtube might ban it 😄

Not me I don't think

Thanks - I can't say they all go that way!

@@under_jersea Know that feeling 😅🥲

Thanks - only fish we have in the UK that are bigger than SA...Mullet!😂

Good area to be in. Depending on your sea experience start by snorkeling around low tide in the bubbleweed. Make sure you have a good Wetsuit. Once you are seeing fish consistently then get a speargun. Stick to the shallows until you are comfortable. If you want to improve and start diving the best thing to do is a freediving course with Freedive Jersey

@@under_jersea Hi, im not sure i would be very good at diving more than 2 meters - i have a nervous disposition and even though im a good swimmer its a bit of a phobia for me. I bought a decent mask/snorkel last weak so i will head down near Le Hocq, do you recommend any particular area near that way or near Le Mar slipway? So i head out say a few hours before the official low tide time? last thing i want to do is get myself caught out. Im actually from Jersey so i should know this stuff - thanks for messaging me back

​​​@@rockface901the safest time to go out is -2 before low to low. Make sure there is no fog forecast. On a small tide you could hang around the oyster beds at le hoqcue quite safely with a good Wetsuit and Fins. It is also a good idea to dive with a float and flag. This allows you to bring crocs or other shoes with. Worst case scenario is you get stuck in a gutter and you have to walk back to the car. Just make sure there is no fog forecast! Le hocque is better on a small tide as it doesn't dry out as much. I would say le Mar is a bit more open and exposed to the tide. Still doable but I would start at le hocque

@@under_jersea Appreciate you taking the time to message me with your advice - im going to head down to Le Hocq tomorrow and walk out just to get a feel of the place - cheers

Thank you very much! Always a good day when I learn a new fish species

Any point with a bay between the Kei and Port St John's during the sardine run will have similar fish life

Yup a good option. Unfortunately all the fish I was seeing were in the surf zone. Further towards the bay was sand which held far fewer fish. Tbh I should have been surfing not diving!

Best to start off in a 5mm spearfishing specific wetsuit. You will get cold very quickly in a surfing Wetsuit. Best way to start in Jersey is stick to the shallows. The safest time in Jersey to dive is two hours before low tide to low tide. The current is generally ok. Stick close to the shore in sheltered bays like beuport, petit port, rozel. Stay inside the bays until you are very confident on the current. Good luck

@@under_jersea appreciate this 🙏

Yup I think they come to Jersey to breed. We only see them from around August to October

Thank you❤ you have done a few dives in SA I see. Hoping to get back in Feb and visit my dad who lives in St Francis

​@@under_jersea Cape st Francis is BEST PLACE IN THE WORLD!!! I might see you there in FEB 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞 Wheres the video on surfing the wild coast... KOOOOOOOOKING SURF! Can just imagine ... very jealous. If you ever fancy some spearfishing of surf up north, give me a shout!🤙

​@@StaunchIndustriesyup we got a few waves as well. Don't really enjoy watching myself surf 😅

Thanks - very exciting!

90cm mostly. 75cm for bad visibility. Gun in this clip is a 90cm

Yup think I need to go later in the day

The water will be warm for your return. 17.8C on my watch last dive.

Yup been waiting for the mackerel. Haven't seen a single one this year. Had one decent bass around 5 pounds and that's it.

Tough to get them them here above 30cm. I haven't seen one bigger than 30cm in 4 years. Every few years we seem to get a few bigger ones that move close enough to shore that we have a chance.

Yup this is the uk

Thanks 🙏

Thanks Neil - I would have liked to get more footage at the weigh in but only getting around 45 min from the go pro now

You have had some good fish. Tbh it hasn't been a very good season for diving. Not a lot of days with good visability. We have had a lot of cancelled comp dives.

Thanks. Unfortunately that Pollock wasn't in shore casting range. You guys have been out there on the kayak though!

@@under_jersea nice man. Buzzing for ya tho some lovely fish about in this cideo

Thanks Neil 👍

Yup shaft still seems straight. I guess it's not exactly a 30kg kingfish in New Zealand😅

Yup casting range for sure. Tbh this is the first school I have seen all year. You know this spot well! Pretty sure you have fished it in a couple of your videos!

@@under_jersea oh. 😂 ah that’s great to here. Short lived this inshore pollock these days

Hi - yes same things apply in Jersey. Try and find spots with an offshore wind. Also watch out for swell. In terms of safety the best time to get in is a few hours before low tide and then dive to the low tide. Generally speaking diving around low tide is more productive here as you can find areas where fish group together. The east coast of Jersey is shallow with strong currents. In the north and south you can find deeper water closer to shore with less current.

Let me know the days you will be in Jersey. I might be able to meet you for a dive depending on work. Find me on Instagram if you have it @Under_Jersea

@@under_jersea Thanks for the answer. Got a lovely dive at Greve de Lecq, got a medium size sea bass. Cheers!

@@Oggyoskar well done 👍 nice spot to dive

Yup having a slightly better season for flats then the past couple years. Nothing like how it was in 2015.

Sure - although I think you may know these areas better then me😅

@@under_jersea only some i do, I`ll get you out in the boat this year if you fancy

@@andylewis341 sounds great👍 quite flexible this time of year so let me know when

Sometimes fish are moving and there isn't anything you can do. The 10m plus vis we have been having isn't helping either😅

Hi Fraser - thanks. Wind will be your problem this week! Very strong NE for the week. What I would suggest is you wait for high tide and then try a little bay called Petit Port. It is sheltered from the wind. You get the a few mullet swimming around close to the slip at the high tide. Unfortunately there are no many other spots due to the wind.

@@under_jersea Thanks for the tip, I’m sure it’ll be fun whatever… cheers 😊

Thanks Neil

Pollock tend to be a deeper species. Everything else in Jersey you can see in 5m of water of less

@@under_jersea Thank you. This is what I'm looking for.

Thanks Ben. Starting to pick up a bit now in terms of fish.
