South Bali Spearfishing Trip With Alex Drieihann-Holenia

South Bali is not only famous for all the amazing surf spot but it also the location for amazing underwater ecosystem. The terrain is perfect spot for Reef species, full of underwater canyon, cave, chanel and amazing rocks.

We can only access the southern part of Bali when the swell is small or else get ready to get scatches and bruise from the swell surge. All the fish are concentrate just behind the swell break. There is some spot that are quiet deep around 15-20 meter to hunt the famous green Jobfish.

First Spot we found school baitball on the surface and we suspect there is something hunting around it. Our instinct was correct. The first dive Alex shot a queenfish. Then i made the second dive. I was not to prepare to expect Giant , i am talking about massibe Bigeye seabream coming straight for me. As soon i move the Speargun the swim away. Not long after i when up for a breath and Spanish mackerel swim right underneath me, i quickly dive down and got a good shot.

After secure the spanish we couldn't find the bait fish anymore so we move to the next spot. The next spot we were played by the moari seaperch and few other reef fish. We couldn't get a good shot because most of the fish have rock behind it.

Third spot a good size spanish mackerel swim right next to me and i got a good shot. The last spot was the best one. While i was chumming using the guts and inside of all the fish we shot. Alex was in the water waiting for the famous green jobfish but instead 2 spanish mackerel swim for the chum. Alex couldn't get close enough to get a good shot.

Spearfishing Trip Harold Gerbis and Aubrey Webber east Bali

We started early in the morning and the condtion was perfect. After few days of rain in Bali it finally stop and we have full sunshine through out the day. First Sport visibilty was perfect for wahoo and spanish Mackerel , we only manage to spot one but it was too shy. Then we spotted a good size Golden Trevally  and got a good holding shot.

The next spot water was blue and Bait fish was all in the surface. As soon as the tide change a good size wahoo sneak from behind and i have take a quick shot because it was turning back and got a nice shot and spool the reel. It manage to drag me 10-15 meter. It was so powerful . Full respect of wahoo. This was only 15 kg i cant imagine a bigger one.

Its always a nice suprise and previlges to be able to hunt together with Spearo from different part of the world. We are able to share experiences, tips and helpful advice that can save each other life. Today trip we are diving with Ryota and Yasuharu from Japan. The day was clear, no wind and the best condition what bali can offer beautiful sunny clear day.

We start the day to hunt Pelagic, we saw few but didn't get a good range. But the patience payoff 24 kg Spanish went to check out made and and made got a kill shot.

After hunting pelagic we went to hunt at the reef. We manage to get Redbass, Coronotion trout and Maori seaperch. We finish the trip by going to our favorite japanesse restaurant in Sanur. The restaurant prepare is few sushi and sashimi. The best sashimi is the coronation trout or any trout. We had our stomache filll and call it a day.
