Spearfishing in South Africa |'Bagging Snoek' in KZN

A morning #spearfishing out up the north coast of South Africa. Testing the new version 3 of the Blackfin Spearfishing Float. Headed out to the deep as I had my CDR STEP-UP 1200 with me and I was keen to get some spearing shots of it shooting some Couta. (Spanish Mackerel)
But the water was green 4-6m and no Couta around. So I headed into the shallows to look for Queen Mackerel A.K.A in SA - 'Snoek'
Found some shoals flying through all the divers on the inside. Managed to get 4 good snoek between 6 & 8kg
There was a good size Blackfin swimming through the spearfisherman giving them a hard time. My fish were safe :-)
It was good to test the CDR STEP-UP 1200 on small fast fish. Ideally a 110 would have been better. But the balance and the light handling in the water made up for any additions in length. Definitely something I wanted to achieve in the Step Up model.

Go check out the float below.
Thanks for watching

THE BLACKFIN FLOAT BY COATESMAN
The Blackfin Spearfishing float is a new, effective alternative to the orthodox torpedo float commonly used by divers. 

It’s primary aim is to prevent sharks, seals and dolphins from stealing fish off your stringer, something which is all too common along the coastline of South Africa.

Its secondary aim is to protect you, the diver. If sharks are prevented from eating your catch, they remain calm. Once they have eaten your fish they become frenzied and erratic, and dangerous.

A third aim is to produce a float which is more functional, lightweight, streamlined and practical than the conventional float setup. 

When divers have fish on their stringers and sharks are present, they are forced to remain alert to protect their catch. There is a feeling anxiety that remains with the diver for the entire duration of their dive. When using the Blackfin Fish Float both of these feelings are eliminated. Sharks may patrol the area in that they may smell your fish, but they can no longer see them in the water, something which is crucial to the shark when hunting its prey.

Divers can remain focussed on hunting effectively when they know their catch is safe. Their concentration is solely on finding quality fish, and not divided between hunting and protecting already secured fish dangling on their stringers. 

This in turn keeps the diver calm and relaxed, which are two vital ingredients in lengthy bottom times and productive Spearfishing.
