Another perfect video. Answered more questions.
happy to hear that! thanks for sharing!
Another excellent film produced by the best that’s all I can say. This was a total change from the first one which was a relief for someone like me went diving 60 feet in his dreams 15 feet is a reality for most people. Great show loved it.
🙏🏻
Ahhh, one more thing: the way you manage your narrative is superb.
glad you enjoy it! thanks so much!
Great video . The commentary helps a lot . The push the shaft forward tip is a good one it’s the opposite of a beginners instincts.
Happy to share it!!
Amazing video, keep it up
thank you! will do!
Good,thanks!!!
thanks for watching as always!
Nice video A A Ron. See you at Mr. Z's.

Quality Content !
Glad you enjoy it! thanks for watching
Nice way to spend the day
was a great day!
More shallow stuff!!! Love it!
Will do!
Very nice
thanks for watching!
Killer Day In Shallow Water For Sure!
for sure was! no complaints!
Great video! Gives me hope after seeing you dive 80 foot lol also answered a lot of questions i had. Keep up the awesome content bro channel is going to blow up
haha still pull lots of great fish from the shallows. doing my best to be education and entertaining. thanks for sharing!
Sempre bons vídeos amigo. Abraço.
thanks for watching!
Newer to your videos thanks to the algorithm. Really good content, enjoying it a lot.
haha happy to hear its working! thanks for watching!
Amazing work! Love the narrative and tips. Can you do a lobster video for us with commentary?
glad you like it! and yea I will give it a shot for sure!
@@KeyWestWaterman is it still good to come down there for lobster now ? between now and say October - November I have a 21 foot pontoon that we want to bring down someone referred me to cujo key your thoughts for a beginner.
Wish I had shallow water spots like this 😪 love ur content
lots of time out there! love to hear it!
Great Video, Thanks for Sharing!
Great episode Aaron. This one especially was helpful as it tells me there can be some legitimate spear fishing in shallow water for folks who cannot free dive like you. I know you charter spear fishing trips but would you consider taking on a charter specifically targeting shallow water and serve as an tutor? This would be for be for my son who is 19. Finally, I have several spear fishing and fishing you tube channels I subscribe to and yours is one of my favorites, not blowing smoke but truly appreciative of the content, just wish there was more but I understand you have competing responsibilities. Keep up the great work.
haha glad to hear it! and yea I would definitely be open to that kind of trip, no-one is born an expert so I love to help teach others when I can!
11:53 here in cali holding ur breathe for a long time is a must unless you wanna just catch small fry xd
we do lots of deep diving as well! most people would have trouble finding that amount of fishing the shallows
Any more wahoo spearfishing videos coming soon?
not until the winter, they aren't around right now! they start to show up around October November ish!
How about a hunt clean cook episodes of fishing ? 😎
I have a few of those out! plan on doing more in the future. trying to keep a variety of videos coming out!
Have you ever thought of free shafting?
I have not, doesn't make a ton of sense free diving in my opinion. but I could be wrong!
Are you ever scared to stick your hand in the rocks? I’m always afraid to run into eels
nah, been bit by a couple.
That was awesome , anyway I can join on a shallow water trip? Would love to try it
it was a great day! sometimes I have solo spot openings for trips and I post about them on my instagram account! @dibsonbottom_adventures
really cool, what is the size of this speargun ? 75 cm ?
52"
Amazing video and content, keep up the good work, greetings from Greece! If you want to check out my spearfishing channel too!
glad you enjoy the videos! thanks so much!
So i just started freediving and have pretty short breaths still but what do yall look for when diving? I was looking on the gps today and i got a bunch that say piles and wrecks but how far out are yall from the beach? Also do you recommend getting a flashlight and checking under tons of rocks because it looks like you guys are nailing the grouper doing that
we go all over the place! anywhere from 5 miles to 80, lots of territory down here hard to answer. I actually have an episode coming out today about finding new spots! you'll have to check it out!
Also tell me about the yellow jacks... they good to eat?
they are incredible! probably the most underrated fish in the keys in my opinion!
Key West Waterman that’s interesting. I’ve spent my whole life ignoring them, never shoot anything I won’t eat and always release them on hook and line. Would love to see a yellow jack catch and cook video.
@@markpoole8142 you are definitely missing out! I will try to get one done for ya!
Depth doesn’t mean much! I’ve caught hundreds of lobster in 8 feet of water .
yup!
👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👏👏👏
thanks for watching!
Personally i prefer the shallow water vids, thats what i do. 👍🥇🐠
Is that in the keys?
yes
Just catching up on old episodes I have not seen. I love your comment “I was kind of on the fence about releasing this because there wasn’t much of a storyline”. Now you could release a video of you mowing the grass and you’d get > 100k views on day 1.
😂 I hope I never had to do that
What size and brand of ice chest is your fish chest
yeti 250
i'm moving there. you done goofed. i'm blowing up your spot
Lol idk what that means but good luck!
Dive flag is upside down in this video
lol
@@KeyWestWaterman
No joking..state law
All dive flags...
White strip shall hang from post angling down.
And must have wire from post angling up to opposite end of flag..
2. Has white diagonal stripes on each face which begin at the top, staff-side of the flag and extend diagonally to the lower opposite corner.
3. If rectangular, is of a length that is not less than the height or more than 25 percent longer than the height.
4. Has a wire, or other stiffener, or is otherwise constructed to ensure that it remains fully unfurled and extended in the absence of a wind or breeze.
Any questions ..let me know
I like your videos
27 and 1/2 lb
Thanks for playing!
I ONLY DO THE SHALLOW WATER DIVES IM 61 YEAR OLD
I DO ALL DEPTHS OF DIVES IM 32 YEARS OLD
For you taking care of fish immediately I watched all of the commercials all the way through, liked, commented and shared.
I really appreciate that! helps more than you know!!!
in my experience sharks react much more to a fish that is still alive and kicking, than by blood in the water.
A d thank you for the lesson on the fish sizes...everything looks bigger underwater. Appreciate the lessons.
yessir!
Looks like I'll have to bring my next date diving
HOW do i book and charter with you?
can book online on my website www.dibsonbottomkeywest.com
Would you try a steam catch and cook with a maxx 2 to 2.5 Llb either with a Garoupa or Parrot. Spring onions Cilantro, Soya Sauce diluted and 1/2 teaspoon sugar. Warm the Soya sauce bring hot oil to boil pour on fish then add soya sauce and place raw shredded spring onions and Cilantro for garnish, and a bowl of steamed white rice. Divine. Steam the fish for 7 minutes per pound. A way to test is put a chopstick behind the dorsal fin, if it glides in easily it is perfect ready to remove. Throw the steamed water as it can be fishy. Then add the soya sauce hot oil and garnish with Cilantro and Corriander 👍😋😋😋🐟🐟🐟
that sounds incredible! I may have to give that a try! thanks for the recipe!
Would love to see a video/tutorial of the hair/beard products you use
lmao!
Lots of fish oil!! ;)
HAHAHAHA...EPIC REQUEST, nice bids bro, keep up the good work and videos..
Found your channel beginning of this year haven't seen one video I haven't enjoyed!! One request I'd live to see some fish cleaning. To me that is one of my favorite parts fileting the catch. Looking forward to the next one.
really happy to hear that! ill be sure to throw some filleting in for ya! thanks again for keeping up with the channel and the content!
@@KeyWestWaterman thank you I appreciate that.
Earlier today I was watching some of Judah Clark's videos and saw an older wahoo Key's video and had a hunch he'd be with you and sure enough!!
Tyler haha yup! Happy to be the guy to put him on his first! Was a sick day!
You're the shit man! You really care about what you hunt. I'll say it again. Rare to find, someone without the ego who just brags and lets the animal suffer. Rather than just throwing live stuff into the cooler or boat and letting it thrash and suffocate.
You're not a hippy. That's the way it's supposed to be. Just because they're fish, doesn't mean they don't suffer. I hope more people learn from you!
really do appreciate the positive feedback! truly bothers me when people do that, I just hope if im ever in the same situation someone takes me out before they put me on ice!
do u guys even checks the rocks to see if any eels in there first cause when i spearfishing i checks my rocks before i go shoot any fish are push my hand in the rock
typically I would see any eel in there while im locating the fish, if they are in there I try to push them out!
@@KeyWestWaterman u would try but its hard sometimes to get eels out of a rock tho
AA ron, dont minimize going shallow. That's what me and my daughter and friends do...we are too old to go deeper. Great video, great narration!! Really good stuff. Thank you.
haha trying to keep a variety of videos! glad you like them! more to come, thanks for watching!
Thanks for this video! I live in KW, been watching your videos and ran out and bought everything I need. I am absolutely not able to dive like you guys do. It's great to know there might be fish in my area of operation. I study you and others and really enjoy your videos. Been a long time since I was this excited about something. Thank you!
Be well.
haha thanks awesome! sounds like you have the fire! I find a lot of great fishing the shallows just have to take the time and search and know where to look! hopefully my videos are educational for ya! thanks for watching!
Another awesome video. Love the commentary videos. Can’t wait to get back down and do some more spear fishing!
thanks for sharing! seems a lot of other like the commentary as well!
Thanks Aaron for another wonderful underwater experience brought to life. Some of us are land bound not by choice. It’s good to be able to live vicariously through your shenanigans. Thank you.
love to hear you enjoy them!
awesome content as always, love your channel
glad to hear it! thanks so much!
Do you do spear charters in shallow water like this? New to the sport and would like to book a trip like that
yes I do!
You guys miss couple lion fish that you guys don’t kill
A lot of my clients enjoy spearing them so i leave them! The numbers are out of controls. Eradicating them isn’t even an option anymore
That’s awesome man, videos are great. I live crystal river gulf coast and all I do up there is spearfish for gags in 3-5ft of water. Got a little 24in cave gun that works great. Sweet video, keep em coming, I love the keys!
thats awesome! hunting gags is good fun! glad you like the vids!
Most excellent. But please, how about some more inshore rod and reel. I mean, I think yours are the best of the genre.
haha love to hear you enjoy them! we do whatever is best at the time
I was just wondering why your shows aren't dated? I would like to be able to watch them all in chronological order. Also, I live in Puerto Rico, very similar to Key West, but more Caribbean. Do you happen to have any tips, ideas, or suggestions that might help me get better? I think your series is awesome, and I hope that you continue to do such good work.
Damn capt you're giving away trade secrets now every puddle diver is going to be out there walking blacks. Lol just kidding great educational vid.
lmao! you'd be surprised! I can't get the majority of people to stick there face in a hole to even see the things! thanks for watching and leaving some feedback!
Some good lessons in this video answered some questions I had.
Happy to hear it! let me know if you have anymore I'd be happy to include them in future vids!
You mentioned that long breath holds are not necessary and I think I recall you saying in another video that you have not had formal training; so how long do you generally average your dives?
yes that is true I have not! and in the shallows like this you don't need much more than 20-30 seconds to be able to work efficiently! in the deep water my dives are only 1:10-1:30 on average
I really need to do a trip with you. Maybe a half dive half hook and line trip? Like 1,200$ or so?
would be happy to! and it depends on conditions and what we are targeting, spreading yourself too thin can be unproductive. but full days are $1,100.
Damn I'm missin the Keys summers!!! Where were you?? In the back or out front? Nice haul!
haha its been a beautiful summer so far! and I gotta leave some up to the imagination ;)
Man.. great video I'm out here fishing in the missouri river with 6 inch visibility and here you have all that clear water. Smh great video 🤙🤙
I feel your pain!
haha! glad I could help you get away for a bit!
YOUR A BEAST
haha im just really really persistent!
I have NEVER done Saltwater Spearfishing. I am Asthmatic hence, I am unable to hold my breath for any real duration. Do you take customers who wear Oxygen Tanks? I am originally from Jamaica, lives in Massachusetts, and LOVES to eat fish. If my question is in the affirmative, I would like to take a trip there!!
yea that can make it extremely tough! and unfortunately no I don't do tank trips. I'm not a scuba instructor so its not covered on my boat.
Hey Aaron, big fan of the channel. I’m in the keys every weekend and do this exact type of diving, maybe 20-25ft deepest. I’ve been able to get nice blacks and muttons but always want to improve. I just got a light to check caves, but need to improve my technique. When you dive do you keep your light on your wrist, belt, or just in your hand? Also, I’m trying to adapt your technique of pointing the light down the shaft, but struggle to stay down with both my hands full. Just got a weight belt I’m wondering if that will help? Really appreciate your mindset towards spearfishing and I’ll keep supporting the channel!
I keep my clipped on my belt, and if you can't stay down it means you aren't weighted properly! will make the world of a difference in the shallows! glad you enjoy the content, thanks so much!
Where r u fishing and how do u know where to go?
spending years and years out there searching
Dude, spectacular haul indeed! Great video. I have a polespear that I fished Hawai’i with. We’re heading to Florida in a couple weeks for work. I see everyone in these videos using spear guns. Is that just for ease? Or is it a law issue? Been reading as much as I can on spear fishing laws. Hoping to do some near shore spearing in the middle/lower keys.
def was a great day! and its just for ease. when the water is clear our fish are tough to get close to sometimes. but all depends.
Hello and greetings, I am one of your followers. I bought a small aluminum boat with 20 hp and I want to get to know all the keys and islands little by little. I fish mainly for fun and to eat fresh. I went this week but it took me 2 hours to look for public ramps because I went to two and they charged 40 dollars. Any suggestions no matter where from key largo to key west of public ramps or not so expensive. Thanks in advance for your help.
There are lots of public ones along the highway just have to look! I’m sure they are online
Hello Aaron. Your videos are always very good, and I enjoy the all. I got myself a modified 110 speargun into inverted roller. Came out pretty nice a d planjng to test it soon. Thanks for the videos.
love to hear it! shoot em up!
God bless you! For your sneeze during the video:-) Have you ever shot a Goliath grouper under a coral head in a rocky cave. If not how do you tell the difference only seeing the head??
haha thank you! and to me they just look so different, Goliath have tons of little black spots all over them. and are more green brown.
Great learning,for a novice,I hope I have time, am 64 yrs now. Thanks bearhunter5
thanks for watching!
9 out of 10 times I'm coming up without a fish because I'm such a bad and new judge of size! LoL...it's killing me but there is no need to shoot undersized fish.
The commentary is awesome...thank you.
that isn't a bad thing! its called being responsible! glad you enjoy it!
Great info bud. Was this the week of July 1?
no it was actually was in may if I remember correctly!
@@KeyWestWaterman awesome content brother man keep it up
What kinda cooler do you use?
its a yeti 250
2nd time watching this video, this depth I could do. My biggest issue I think would be identifying what is a shootable fish. I need to get a crew together and charter you. When is the best time of year for this kind of trip?
Summer time is the best time for these trips. Though i will say this is a really good day for the shallows. Most of my beginner divers don’t do this well. Just like to keep expectations realistic!
I know this may sound stupid for a guy who has never snorkeled (go ahead and laugh at my expense!) but how do you breath underwater and how long can you stay underwater?
no such thing as a stupid question! but we arent "breathing" underwater, just holding our breath, but me personally a good dive is 1:30 or more, average dives 1:10 to 1:30
What’s a good spear gun? For similar depth water 10-20ft
check out the koahs
Hi my name is Colombo I love you videos and tips and how much do you charge for going fishing with you
glad you enjoyed the videos! the boats rates on online on my website, but I only do spearfishing trips now. I don't do rod and reel fishing. www.dibsonbottom.com
Very good points...had a grouper in a ledge..hit d light and it went crazy in there...well after this video lesson learnt!! But yeah shallow diving is really under rated...i got a 7lb dog snapper in less than 10ft..so yeah shallow spots are fruitful as u said..."know where to look".
haha hope ya learned something! I often do great in shallow water!
Can you shoot Goliath Groupers? Are they edible?
it is illegal to harvest Goliaths, although they are edible I hear!
It normal/typical to get keeper mutton and snapper in the Keys in 15' or less of water?
depends on the day, not super common
Damn would love to get on a boat and go spearing, can you be my guide? haha, I'm in kw every other weekend for work so let me know.
haha its what I do for a living, run charters full time. commercially spearfish here and there
DETROIT MICHIGAN WELDER NOTICED THAT 🤙
haha thank you sir!
What kind of gun do you have?
its a gun I built about 5 years ago! I have another video talk about it and its specs!
i was in duck key 4 days ago and shot a pound 4 15oz hogfish in less than ten feet of water
thats awesome! nice fish!
"I'm a hippie"
lol! I kinda am a little bit!
Keep them coming, great video!
will do! thanks for watching!
Gotta ask where in key west you were at? We’re going down there next weekend for lobster season but we’re trying to get some spear fishing in.
we were just under the surface of the water! 😉
Great video. My friend and I are just getting started in the spear fishing. Great info. Any recommendations for islamorada area?
glad you think so! and honestly ive never spent any time up there! Wish I could be of more help!
damn this is much better than cali spearfishing. water is so much clearer and more shallow with no waves.
not always this good but we can normally find a few fish!
this video show us the deffrint between biggner and professional diver
lol just really love spearfishing!
i like watching your videos. good work man
glad to hear it!
i know exactly wher ethose reef balls are at! lol great video my dude!
glad you enjoy them!
I just wanted to ask about, what types of fish do you commonly catch down in the keys?
I'm up near fort pierce and I'm a bit worried about the size as you mentioned and hitting the right fish.
awesome video btw
we see ALL kinds of fish, all groupers, Black red gags scamps all snappers mutton red mangrove yellowtail schoolmaster dog... wahoo tuna mahi.... way too many to list!
Can’t get enough of these videos man! New old they’re all great! The appreciation for what your doing and where your at is awesome!
love to hear it!
This is almost certainly a rookie question, however why didn't you hit that goliath? That looked like a LOT of fish in one shot.
They are protected and not allowed to be harvested
@@christopherkrpan6355 Ahh...well that does explain that. Thank you. Like I said, rookie question. I know my place...I'm green. Ha ha.
lol yea they are protected!
That’s a pretty wicked catch for the day and to be so shallow...awesome share and commentary. Thanks Man.⚡️🤙🏻🇺🇸
it was a killer day! thanks for tuning in!
I can’t believe I barely came across this awesome channel
Anyways great content and lots of info here!!!
Welcome! And Thanks for watching!
"for those of you who can't dive 60-80 feet" so 95% of us
😂
