Great to see Cloughy honoured in this way. He was really active when I was diving out of Townsville 23 years ago. Top bloke. Awesome to see the Mackay Club still doing it. Great work mate.
That’s awesome! There is so many good story’s about Cloughy from people all over. The comp just keeps moving ahead in leaps and bounds. Next year should be bigger again!
Late to the party on this vid but loved it bro! Well done on the Barra to Ben and well done to everyone who entered the comp. So cool to see the club and spearo community growing in NQ!
Buddy this was such a stoker of a christmas video , ill take it as my gift 🎉 thanks again for bringing us along with you Digitally every step of the way in 2023 cant wait for your 2024 content to hit the notification bar . a happy Christmas to you and youre family , as well as all the spearos in Mackay . We should arive in Mackay early in the new year. cant wait to say hi.
Thanks for checking the vid out mate. It's just an Airmar p79 inhull. It reads solid bottom so far up to 50mtrs at 30knots. I haven’t been any deeper than that yet, I’m hoping it will read well up to the 70-80mtr mark at speed and that will do me for the Mackay area. I’m also considering installing the 3in1 transducer that comes with the HDS to take advantage of the side scan 🤔
Hey Kurt, 30 knots reading bottom is fantastic. Gotta be pretty happy with that. Yeah I've seen some people running sidescan at reasonable speed looking for ground when travelling between spots. Definitely worth installing. I just picked up a hds today for wuen the new tub shows up. I'll be running the 3 in 1 and a TM185M.
I Didn't Even Know Spearfishing Clubs Existed In Aus? Ive Been Spearing For 23 Years Since Age 7.. It's A Lifestyle Here On Palm Island. Maybe I Didn't Know Because Were In A Indigenous Community.. Anyways Deadly Videos Bro All Of Them.
There is a lot of Clubs here mate. The Mackay club is one of the biggest if not the biggest Australian Underwater Federation (AUF) spearfishing club! As well as one of the oldest operating since 1955. It would really be a lifestyle over there mate. Thanks for checking the vids out. Catch ya in the new year 🍻
I sometimes chuck a little Vasoline on it to help seal. Lately I’ve just been using my battery trimmer and taking a couple millimeters off under my nose and it’s been sealing pretty well. It’s a Rob Allen snapper mask, I’ve got a couple of them that are getting a bit scratched up so I’ll be upgrading soon. I may try a different brand and see if I can get an even better seal.
