Day trip with Joe and Tyson

Joe came early morning to our office and we quickly swapped cars at our office so we are able to drive up to North bali at 5am!
As soon as we where on the way it started raining and we where abit concered even though the forecast was saying sunshine for the whole day.

As we drove further north we where luckly and the sun actually came out.
The rain stopped and we almost arrived to pickup Tyson from his hotel to join us up.

As we arrived to the fising village everyone was on the same page and the fishing jokes and strategies where flying and ofcourse everyone was introduced to eachother and we got along very well.

We geared up and prepared the boat for launch.

As we where going to our dive stop I gave our guys few tips on how to approache certain fish,
Tyson really wanted a midnight snapper for himself and Joe focused on getting food for the family!

On the first spot the water was nice calm and clear,
we split up so we still could see eachother and everyone was diving and hunting,

we started spotting big maori seaperch and few midnight snappers, also bigeye seabream where very common around but as we know they can be tricky to land.

on the drift i spotted a midnight snapper and managed to get a shot on it , landed it aswell! so stoked!!

Joe and Tyson shot few fish aswell , and we slowly started filling up the cool box to take the haul back home and feed our friends and families.

We did around 4 spots that we know well, one was performing really well that day, and we decied to add another drift to the end of the trip.

We jumped in the water and I saw a bait ball flash up from the depth and my intuition told me that something must be hunting them.

Quick reaction to the left and a Giant Trevally is coming out of the deep and swims towards me, problem was that there was a big sea mount under me and i was afraid to lose the fish in a fight inside the current, so i focused on a good stone shot and it worked, the fish died , pulled it up and all off us celebrated the last drift of the day and we called it afterwards since we had alot of fish and most important of the day FUN!

3 day spearfishing Trip with Tevita Taukave

Day 1

We went to the FAD first day and what we found was the FAD was  fill with Dolphin and Yellowfin tuna. The FAD was empty or clean up by the big Predator fish. When went back to shore we can sea the FAD was fill with light, littelary hundred of them. The light is from fisherman fishing yellowfin tuna using handline. The yellowfin tuna only come to surface during the night when the water tempature is cooler. That night the record size caught was 70kg and the average size was 20kg.

















Day 2
Second day we stick around the reef. we manage to shoot some good dinner. We saw a big GT but he wasn't intrested at all in getting shot by one of us. we spotted him one more time patrolling around the white wash but he was to fast.


Midnight Snapper























Day 3
We stick around the reef. we manage to shoot some good quality dinner. To sum up the trip, North Bali trip never disspoints us, nature continously to suprise us with it generous gift. Matur suksma!

Spearfishing Weekend with Family and Friend In North Bali

Best destination if you have big family go up North and avoid the busy Southern Bali. Rent a whole Villa because the price is half the price from South Bali. You will get same facility: Wifi, Swimming pool, Kitchen, living room etc..

The difference between the south and north is the beautiful sunrise and excellent view of the Blue sky, mount Agung,  Fisherman Bay and open sea all day .

First Day we went to our favorite seamount located not to far from the shore. Famous for good size reef fish and Doggy. The water visibility was not so good.  So we decided to head to shore and do a drift dive. We spotted few Moari Seaperch but gave us a hard time.

Then  we reach to another spot the GT Beach house/club. GT Beach Club is famous to host 5 different species of Trevally. First shot was a Bluefin Trevally, then second Shot a 10 Kg GT. We saw few more GT and Golden trivially but not close enough Then we head to snapper point but the current was way to strong. Mari search, Midnight snapper, Redbass and Green Jobfish are all waiting together. But we can't position  ourself without moving or grabbing to rock which sometime spooks the fish. The closes we get was to Green Jobfish but it was too quick. We try one more drift and had no luck so we call it a day.

While we were diving big boss (my lady) spend the day with the kids in pool and the beach and they look  exhausted and Hungry when we come back which is good sign. Brought the fish to the restaurant next door and made fish and chips for the kids and grilled fish for the adult with sambal matah.




The next Day i call it a day and Hubert and our friend from Canada head off to reef but came back with few reef fish. I spend the rest of the day with the kids and big boss lady. Great way to end the weekend.

Spearfishing trip north Bali with Krishan

We arrive at 10:00 pm and the weather was amazing, the sky is blue the water visibility was clear. We head to GT beach house spot, but we manage to spook all the GT we saw. We saw African pompano, Gloden trevally, Bleufin Trevally and ofcourse a good size GT who sprint when they saw us. It must be one of those days when the trevally family are very shy.

Spearfishing Buefin Trevally

Longnose Emperor


Its not a problem we end up with Longnose emperor, Bluefin Trevally , Maori seaperch, Midnight snapper and few other Reef fish.
