Wahoo and Jack MADNESS! Spearfishing the *Secret* Ledge
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- We had an incredible day spearfishing out off South East Queensland. The wahoo were so thick we saw them almost every drift. We found a ledge holding some solid mangrove jacks that nearly got eaten by the resident grouper.
We also had some epic fails, some of which still keep me up at night.
I had Jose and Adam along with me on this adventure. Two regulars to the channel.
Enjoyable to watch, clear water & good speciation of fish!
Thanks Dean, glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Great Adventure! crystal clear water, enjoyed watching from the Philippines.
Thank you. We get some incredible, clean water here at times. Blessed. Thanks for watching 🙂
Great video Cliff!! Love to see the combo of both reef and blue water, what a special day!
Thank you, such a fun day. Pretty special doing blue water and reef diving on the same drift
Absolutely brilliant to watch as always, brother. Just an inch too low on that wahoo mate. that lateral line at the end of the pectoral fin mate dead meat every time. As you know. Loved it mate brilliant work. Great shot on that jack.
Thanks John. That's where I was trying to aim. It doesn't always work out😅 Year, Adam and I both got good shots on our jacks. Love hunting and eating them hey. Delicious fish
@DownDeep absolutely brilliant work mate 👏
Epic Secret ledge Cliffy!! Everyone of your viewers will be wishing they could have a look in your GPS to find that one!!!
Hahaha, top secret spot. Keeping my gps in a safe🤣 The first time I dove this "secret" spot was was with you about 13 years ago. Man time flies
@ yes it does, crasy hey!!!!
Epic video Cliff, love your running commentary, looked like an action packed day!! So jealous of all the wahoo, I'm sure you were eating well for awhile 🙂 How good is it when everyone has their own camera! Hose seems like a crack up 😂
Thanks Ethan, appreciate it. The wahoo were out of control. We saw them every drift. I have never seen them so thick before.
The wahoo sashimi was next level, but honestly, I couldn't cook it very well. I dried out a few meals.
Mate, José is the best. Love having him out on the boat.
Awesome vid mate bugger on the corro trout!
Cheers Harry, yeah that fish is still keeping me up at night😅
Blown away by that viz! Well done Cliffy and crew another incredible video. I can feel the pain after losing that coro too 😢
Yeah man, that coro was a heartbreaker. I would of been so stoked with that fish.
Epic vis hey, always good when it's like that
Awesome vid Cliff. Keep them coming
Appreciate it😁 Videos will be more consistent this year. Last year was a crazy one for me
What a spot! Some monster fish up there! Nice work.
Appreciate it Cameron. Blessed to live where I do. So many great diving spots in SEQ.
Where are you based mate?
@@DownDeep You're not too far from the tropics either. Lots of cool opportunities! I'm based down in Tassie. It's a little cooler in the water here.
Awesome video mate!! Thank you
Appreciate the thank you 😁 a lot of effort went into this one.
@ it shows mate, well done 👏
Sick vid as always! I was spearing over in remote indo and came across a school of those hump head wrasse the same size as a qld grouper, was wild to see
Appreciate it mate. That would have been an unforgettable sight. I would love to get over to Indo for a spear some time.
Another great vid Cliff well done
Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it!
Glad I found you guys Im a Tim McDonald subscriber.. awesome vid 💪🪸
Welcome to the channel mate. I'm a big fan of Tim's channel to
Great video cliff! How good was that run of wahoo!
Cheers Rhys, that wahoo run was unreal!
Nice vid, seems those aimrite guns are a bit hit or miss or is it the operators? 😂😂
haha, in this case I'm definitely blaming operators error. 😅🤣
Plenty of fish in this spot.
It was going off hey
Epic vid bro
What are the lengths of those Aimrite rollers you boys are using🤔🤔😁
Thanks mate! We are both running 1.25m rollers.
Thanks legend
Hey mate! What size aimrite do you use? And do you use the stock set up that aimrite provide? Cheers mate, great videos!!
Hey mate, the gun is a 1.25 Vendetta. The 2 things I changed are the shaft and rubber.
I use a 1.6m 7.5mm rob allen shaft. Their shafts are brilliant and not crazy expensive.
I also use 16mm mannysub rubber.
Thanks for getting back to me mate. I recently got a 115 Double Vandetta, I want to use a 7.5mm double flopper shaft. What length of rubber and length of Dyneema pretension do your recommend? I have a few metres of 14mm MannySub rubber in the garage to use. @@DownDeep
@MotoDareDevil it would be best to contact Aimrite for the double roller and 14mm rubbers. I haven't used either, sorry mate.
I'm looking at getting a double roller this year for large pelagics. Let me know how yours goes
Hey man, great video! Where in Australia is this? Is there no ciguatera?
@jean-pierrejordaan3033 hey, This is out off South East Queensland. We do get ciguatera, but it's quite rare down here. Glad you enjoyed the video 😁
hey man what camera are you using underwater? Love the colors
I use a gopro 11 mate. I film in 4k 60 fps at a high bitrate. I set the colour to raw so the gopro doesn't do any of the coulor grading. I do all the colour grading in davinci resolve after I have put the edit together. I hope this helps. If you have any more questions ask away. Happy to help
@@DownDeep Ohh I see that makes a lot of sense. The footage looks sweet🤙
