Thread: Last months dives and filming with channel 7

    Last months dives and filming with channel 7

    Have been out a few times in the last month.
    One day I scored 4 nice jacks and a couple of mackerel. Another got a 8kgish tusky and on both days managed a few crays, working hard for them though.

    On friday just gone went out in a 6.5m freedom sport supplied by the Australian Marine centre at springwood to do a segment with Taryn Onofaro from Creek to Coast on spearfishing. We went out in two boats (one for film crew) to the top of moreton. Was interviewed first then went for a short dive and I speared two green jobfish and one gold spot wrasse, nothing big but since the pressure was on I didn't want to pass them up in case we saw no more fish. Was back at the ramp at 9:30 am as the sea was glassing off(damn film crew had enough footage). Taryn was pretty game and jumped in even after a frisky whaler visited us the water was about 20-22m with vis about 15m. Brett was filming in the water and got some pretty good shots. Stewart and Rod from the marine centre organised the day and it was a great experience, they seem like really nice down to earth blokes not your typical salesman types. The freedom sport had a 150 Etec on it and oh my god did that thing fly. We were doing over 75kph back across the bay with 5 of us in it, scary stuff.

    Have a few photos to follow. The cobia school photo was taken at the end of a day when we had a enough fish so brett was trying to get some video and stills of them they were around 15kg with afew over 20kg's awsome sight!
    Cheers all and will let you know when the segment will air on creek to coast think in mid-may
    Cheers Doug

    Great photos Doug. I'm sure that the video is awesome too.

    It's good to see that spearfishing is being promoted in a sensible way. I hope that the greenies see spearing is the most sustainable and eco-friendly way of selectively taking fish. No "by-catch" here mate!
    If ya canna spear em, ya can jag em on a line.

    Yep, just saw the show and it was a great segment.

    Nice tuskie, but why the need to hold it out like that to make it out as even bigger? It's huge as it is!

    Hey Doug

    Thanks For Coming Out For The Shoot! Fun Was Had By All, Apart From Your Shortlived Dive, Frustrating When Its Early & Camera Crew Want To Return To Base, Taryn Did @#$% Herself When You Guys Called "shark", She Nearly Stayed Put In The Boat.
    Thanks For Your Effort & We Will See You On The Next Shoot With 20kg+ Spainards???
    Regards Rod
