Epic Day spearfishing Westy Doeland in north Bali

We start the day mid Afternoon, the ocean condition was good but visibility was not its best on some location. First spot was our favorite spot for Spanish mackerel and dogtooth tuna. Due to visibility we couldn't find the outer reef. But not long after the West shot fatty Spanish mackerel. We try second attempt to find the outer reef and fail. So we move to spot with better visibility but didn't find much action.

the last spot just before sun down the fish was very active. We saw shy dogtooth tuna. Shot a green job fish but I lost it during the fight . Then to end the day west shot a golden trevally.

Good Day Spearfishing with Doosung Kim and his Girlfriend

It always a pleasure to host a spearo from our neighboring asian country. It was clear that day we want to hunt fish for sashimi. We start the day hunting pelagic fish. We manage to spot a Spanish mackerel but they weren't interested on our present in their feeding spot. after several attempt o the open water, we decide to hunt in the reef.

We went to our favorite spot to hunt Midnight snapper, Longnose emperor, green job fish and Maori seaperch. I was stalking midnight snapper until I manage to get them in shooting range . All the sudden 25-30 kg size dogtooth tuna swim to school of midnight snapper and spook them . After the doggy spook the snapper he ditch me and leave with nothing to shoot.

Then we try several attempt at the different reef and finally we shot Coronation trout and Redbass for lunch.

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.

We started in the afternoon due to tidal movments so we have the best chances of catching fish and the good visibility.

That day we ended up catching a nice sized Bluefin trevally which they prepared in the restaurant later on for dinner.

We meet at the Harbour to cross to East Bali with the ferry.

The beauty of spearfishing is that it can always be a big suprise and you never know what happens during the next dive, suddenly everything can change.
We went out during the afteroon and decided to come back abit later so we can see the sunset from the boat.

On the last spot we checked I dived down abit deeper and decided to have alook on the ledge and encoutnered a school of dogtooth tuna which i took the chance to shoot.

Later that day when we returned to the hotel we had the amazing experince to try the dogtooth sashimi , prepared for liliana and blaise that evening and everyone loved it because it was so fresh ,

we kept the fish on ice in our good kill bag that keep the fish fresh and good during the hot weather here in bali since we want to enjoy the catch to the fullest!!!
