Spearfishing OFFSHORE OIL RIGS for Deep GROUPER! (Day 1 Louisiana Trip)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- I finally finish the semester of college and the wind is still howling down here in Texas... so I load up my truck and drive 10 hours to dive in Louisiana.
The goal of this trip is grouper, african pompano, cobia and possibly wahoo.
This video covers day 1 of 2.

I've always admired your consistency in "keeping it real". Whatever you feel like doing is going to be your best product. I'll enjoy whatever you put out.
This video looked like the dives were A LOT of work, on top of a long drive and minimal sleep. I kept saying to myself, I hope nothing goes "wrong". I'm glad the "wrong" was limited and happened at the boat dock. Rest up! Feel better. Loyal!
Thank you!!! This day definitely was a grind on the diving aspect. Strong current and being tired definitely made it exhausting.
Part 2 we have a much better day fortunately!
I am also doing college. My friend and I decided to tow the boat to venice for swordfish and grouper fishing this spring break.
That is awesome. How’d y’all do!?
@@BradenSherron no swordfish bite, but there was schools of yellowfin tuna and wahoo
I dove those rigs and other places about 40 years ago . Wonderful and amazing things out there.
What a great time of my life!
Good to see yall taking safety measure when enjoying the sport.
Love the videos and will keep watching them.
Happy hunting!
Awesome! It’s a blast no doubt.
Really appreciate it!!!
To your credit on that gag that was a tough shot brotha
indeed it was
Good job bratherr🎉🎉🇲🇨🇲🇨
Thank you 👊👊
I’ve been there bro a few times. Migraine and early have to wait spend hours on the boat throwing up yeah it’s happened to me. I prefer this style of video. In my opinion it has a more authentic vibe like if along for the ride with y’all
You'll never have a better day than the wahoo day. To be able to screw up and miss and still score 6 is unbelievable. In my later years I got my best fish outside the rigs.
It’s definitely hard to beat!!! Might have topped it here recently though, depends on your preference of fish…
I always look forward to your videos. Especially spear fishing. That is something I would love to learn.
Thank you! I appreciate you watching and glad you enjoy the videos!
Hope you feel better bro. I feel you on the migraines. I have had em since 3 2 brain 🧠 surgeries. It’s a bitch
Great work and nice uploading
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!
Seq keeper is like a giant gyroscope that stops the boat from rocking
It’s pretty wild when you watch it work real time. Definitely minimizes the rocking.
@@BradenSherron buddys 32 Cabo has it and I'm one that does get sick even growing up fishing havnt gottin sick on that boat yet
Haha! No way! I've got Fii level 1 booked with Joe in July. Small world.
haha that's awesome!
Digging the stache.
💪💪💪
Thanks!
Thank you for watching!!
Appreciate the super thanks as well! Just seeing that!!!
Nice one see
Thanks for watching!!
Nice vid man
Appreciate it!!
Great vid, nice to see your murk tactics like we use here in Trinidad. What camera was used to display both water temp and depth?
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Yep, gotta play the murk a lot!
That was a paralenz camera.
Another solid video! What are some of your favorite free diving channels to learn from? I’m moving to the Freeport/Lake Jackson area soon and might try to pick up spearfishing at the jetty or rigs.
Appreciate it!!!
@Adam Freediver is a good place to start.
I used to watch some others that appear to have taken all their videos down, but I also watched @freediverHD
I prefer the narrative style video over the highlight reels. If you could catch a grand slam every day, then it wouldn't be called fishing. Even the best of us have bad days. Regardless, every drop counts as practice for those perfect shots.
I agree! Thank you for the feedback.
I always look forward to your videos Braden.I would lik to know if it's legal to dive near oil rigs and what are those horns in the background
Great to hear that you enjoy them, I really appreciate you watching!
Legality all depends on where you’re diving. Fortunately, it is legal for most rigs where I’m at. Many parts of the world however ban oil rig diving.
The beeps signal that the rig is unmanned.
Saw you guys headed out the jetties! Another killer video!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!!!
Is there a video that teaches how to hold your breath longer underwater?
Like...amazing
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed.
How deep do you dive ? How many minutes do you drive for? How many dives can one person make in one trip ?
All depends -on what we’re going after, water depth etc..
This say the deepest dives were a little over 80 feet. Dove times vary as well. Up to 2:30 is my top end, but avg is 1:30-2 minutes. Times only go higher if conditions include very minimal current and getting super relaxed.
As far as how many dives you can make in a day, it’s all relative to the person and their ability/comfort. Some guys go all day nonstop, others have to pace it. Generally I get my best dives when I’m fresh so I dont get as many quality dives when I do a ton of dives throughout the day. It wears you out!
@@BradenSherron thank you ! So awesome keep it up man ! Good stuff !
Have you ever encountered a mermaid while diving?
Deep for Deep Depression and Depression and Anxiety Depression are and are all related in some ways and I think they are all connected in some ways but I think they are both related and I think it is very important to be aware of them both in a sense that we are both in this situation because I am very aware of the fact that we both are very different and we are very different people and we are both different in our own way so we can relate to the situation in a different sense but I am also very aware that we are different and we I think that it is a very important thing to have a lot of people in the same way and we are all in the this is just a lot more than of course I don’t think we are all different people are different things people have different ways of living in a different world and I we are have different things are very different people and we have different a different way to get to know each other and I we can relate and we have to be honest with you have to a lot more than that is the what I don’t think about the world and we are all different people things things are different people things are that we have are different things that we are very all of them us and we I think don’t know how we are going through it and we have a different life and I don’t think that is what we I don’t think we it’s not like that is it is it is it a different thing I think it’s just that I think that I am not a person I think it’s that get out that 20:45
Don't mind the vlog-style videos at all!
Awesome, thanks for the feedback.
Enjoyed it. What type of shark was in checking you out?
Glad you enjoyed!!!
Hadn’t looked closely but I assume a blacktip or spinner!
I thought you get the bends when you go past 60 feet?
We are freediving, so don’t have to worry about bends
I like this style. Maybe a little more music. Always like your videos man big fan. Would love to make a trip to corpus and fish
Thank you for the feedback!!! 💪
Min 4:33 Hi Sir could you explain us the technique you use to mount the spear gun rubbers? I noticed you used like a secondary one to settle the main ones. Thnks
I use a load assist for the double roller. There’s too much tension to hand load.
What watch do you dive with
One thing I can’t stand is spearo’s leaving their loaded guns in the boat, I’ve seen them go off before, I always always unload my gun when getting back in the boat.
Bro i can barrow your speargun. Solid subscriber.😅
Hey just curious on your honest opinion of coatesman custom carbon rollergun is it worth the price tag 🏷 what are your thoughts on the gun
Thanks 🙏🏾
Best ballasted gun I’ve ever used. Feels like a feather in the water- doesn’t kill your wrist trying to hold it up like other pipe/rail guns.
With the 8mm shaft and 16mm bands it’s a disservice to only use one wrap. Halve shot fish and landed them in that second wrap’s range.
As far as worth it for the price that’s up to you and what you value in a gun. Shipping costs are steep so that added a chunk for me; I ordered extra spears as well…but it’s exactly what I wanted and look for in a gun.
@@BradenSherron yea i ended up sending it! The shipping price hurt, but a couple of my friends in Hawaii said 100% worth it.
Thanks 🤙🏾
What's the name of the suit you dive in?
It’s a riffe 3.5mm suit
What gun is that double roller
CDR by Chris coates
I prefer natural sounds and voice over Keeping it real is much more interesting
whats that horn every 20 seconds??
It’s a unmanned station so it has to alarm to let boats in fog or night know it’s there. Safety
@@edwardmyers675 Thanks!

Thank you for the feedback!!!
🤦 p̾r̾o̾m̾o̾s̾m̾
You talk too much dude🥴
This is the style that many viewers prefer on the channel- so more can be learned.
I do change it up though.
