Spearfishing DVDs

When the wind blows or there is a lot of swell around, its nice to have a few nice spearing dvds to pass the time. Over the last few years I have bought quite a few and I have a small collection going. Yesterday I purchased spearvision from Eckart... It is quite a nice dvd and informative about the Durban waters, the guys shoot some serious cob and it shows loads of undersea life. I do think the creators could have shown some more game fish and hunting techniques, but all in all a nice video for the collection. I have ordered OneFish from Eckart which looks like it is going to be an awesome production.

What videos do you guys have and what do you think of them?

Ive only watched a version of African Spearfishing Diaries. I think vol 1. It boggled my mind, very cool shots and quite informative of bigger game spearing

From what I gather, there is a gap in the market when it comes to colder water spearing DVDs, such as in Cape Town waters. A good idea to those with decent Cameras and a lot of time on their hands

I watched one about New Zealand Spearfishing called Wild Blue, it was pretty similar to our scenario. Loads of bugs and perlies! They also venture off to some of the Islands (Three Kings and White Island) to shoot some monster yellowtail.

FishingTaylor why don't you and guys with decent footage create something with it?

It would be an awesome idea, I wish I had the cash to purchase decent video cameras and other equipment... it would be a nice project! You could film Shore diving (Crayfish, Galjoen, Hotties, Roman etc), Inshore (Chasing Tail) and Offshore (Longfin and Yellowfin), could also be very informative.

Many people have no idea how many marlin are lurking in the waters off Struis, I fished the Marlin Comp there in Feb 2008 and it was ridiculous how many people were seeing marlin in the spread and many were caught, we had a few strikes but never managed to land any. We saw loads though, none of us had any marlin experience then so we didn't really know the drill.

Maybe even a crayfish DVD? It could have a horror theme with music from 'Alien'? just a though lol

Good news, the One Fish dvd is almost ready to go on sale, I got this email earlier today:

So if you are in the Durban area and have nothing better to do, why not attend and give us a good report back... you may also win one of the prizes.

I bought this dvd a few months ago, mainly a dvd about Mozambique, very informative. It is definitely the best spearfishing dvd I have watched so far, try get your hands on a copy... you won't be sorry!

Here is a short clip, from the creators of "Good Times", I don't remember seeing this clip in the dvd. It is sure to make you jealous during this horrible weather! Definitely worth a watch though.
