In this video:
I wake up at 5am and cook up some deer meat sausages. Have some coffee, put my speargun and spearfishing gear into the car and take a little stop at my boat for my diving belt.

A 1.5 hour drive south and I get to my buddies place in Summerland key. We load up our spearfishing gear, our spearguns, drinks and food. On the run out into the Atlantic ocean we stop along the shore line in search of bait. All the bait is staying in shallow water so it's hard to reach.

After some attempts we decide to run offshore in search of the Wahoo. The first spot we get to is about 115 feet deep off the reefs edge. The visibility is not so good but we jump in anyways and start spearfishing. Lee shoots a nice black fin tuna but My break away spear tip was messed up and I couldn't put a second shot on it. The black fin tuna ended up getting away GRRR.

We continue to spearfish. See lots of yellowtail snapper. Some kingfish mackerel and other mackerels. We get back to the boat and decide to move on. We run a little further south to 50-60 feet deep water and start to chum again. We catch some fish from the boat and then jump into the water to hopefully have some fun. The goal is to chum heavy to get the bull sharks behind the boat. Many times Cobia follow the bullsharks which is the perfect time to shoot the Cobia.

The water was cold! We did see a bullshark but there wasn't much action going on. I see some kingfish and take a shot at one. The chum is now running low. We use a Mackerel to lure up some bullsharks, but it just seemed like no one was going to show up. We spend the rest of the chum and pack up our fishing gear. Ride home and enjoy some hot tub relaxing.

Happy New years and a happy 2018 to all my viewers! Can't wait to bring you some action packed footage this year! Cheers everyone!
