When we arrive we were shock that the refugee diet was consist of Vegies, rice and Instant noodle for the last 2 month. The majority of the refugee come from the poorest village on the foothill of Mount Agung. They never have luxury to eat fresh fish. most of them never seen the species of fish and was amaze and mesmerise by our catch. That night the 50 kg of fish was cooked and served to feed 350 refugee, even the neighbouring refugee camp herd the news and join for the feast that night.

How to Speared A Giant Trevally

The video is demonstrating what is the best way to shoot the mighty Giant Trevally. The Trevally was a 20 kg but if you took a bad shot , you will risk bending your shaft, The trevally swim deep and get stuck in a rock or reef. Unless you have a chance of getting a good shot on trevally is better to avoid the big boys.

The best way to stonned shot fish is to shot when the fish is slightly turn away from you. this way you have a good clear shot to shoot behind the gill plate to the head.

Honeymoon spearfishing trip with Lisa Wong and James Haddon

We start the day by learning the basic to dive and use the Spearguns. After Lisa and James got comfortable diving and handling the spearguns, we show how to hunt fish. We spotted a rock with 2 giant Midnight snapper playing hide and seek.  After 3 dive try to work the behavior of the midnight snapper I manage to show how it done. Then After that Lisa and James start trying to hunt from the shallow and gradually going to the deeper part of the reef. We shot few reef fish until we are all tired and call it day.

Then we ent to our favorite restaurant to eat the fresh catch. The talented chef prepare the midnight snapper in 3 different recipe. First one is peeps the fish was mince, wrap on banana leaf with Balinese spices and steam. Second recipe is sate lilit and last recipe is fish head soup with all the bone. Balinesse never waste anything from the fish, even they deep fried the intestine and make cracker of the fish skin.

3 Day Spearfishing adventure with Anthony Hierro

myself and Anthony been discussing the trip few month ago and we both agree 3 day trip is best way to experience most of what Bali Underwater world have to offer.

Day 1 we went to North Bali to Hunt at the drop off reef. We manage to see few 5 star reef fish but it was a challenge to shoot them. One of my dive a school of 5-15 kg Giant trevally, I waited to see if there a nice trophy fish in the schoo but didnt see any. We drift with the current and saw big Midnight snapper, Redbass, Mori Seaperch and Bigeye Seabream but the current was not in our favor we couldn't hide on any spot to get them closer. 

The next spot we shot a good size Dogtooth Tuna , midnight snapper and Bluefin Trevally. It was good enough for the first day to have a good dinner. At night we have Dogtooth Caviche and midnight snapper pepes and sate.

The next day we went to Different spot and shot mangrove jack, Anthony miss a good size Spanish mackerel, we also got bluefin trevally and Giant Trevally. We also got Bigeye Sebream toward the end of the dive. We had another feast for Dinner at Anthony hotel, the owner prepare us amazing dinner.

Last day was epic. Never saw so many Spanish mackerel in one day. Firt spot we saw some GT and Spnaish mackerel but they kept their distance. The next spot John Shot Spanish mackerel, it was quiet murky and hard to spot them but john got lucky one spanish went straight toward him from underneath. The next spot we hunt at the reef and Anthony shot a good size flowery cod.  The next spot it was a war zone. I spotted a school of Spanish mackerel all around 10-15 kg size. Took a shot a miss. Not long after john got one and wahoo following after. Then Anthony finally got his first spanish mackerel after losing his first one the day before.

Patrick and Gary James Day trip east Bali

It almost good to see father and son going spearfishing together.  Gary and Patrick was on their holiday in Bali coming from the USA. The day started with a big suprise. We were all wondering why all the bait fish, unicorn fish and the fish around the spot was behaving differently. We all suspect that there is very big Pelagic roaming around but not sure what species. I was around 30-40 meter deep trying to see wheter there any pelagic swiming. That was wise move, i dive and stay around 5-10 meter deep when a black marlin was coming from behind and swim right next to me. I have to fin so hard to catch up with it. Made my shot hoping it will shot him behind the gill but it was a big mistake. It took a lot line but it was bad shot. the shaft didn't penatrate deep enough. I was really sad and worry if the fish will survive the shot. But 2 weeks after we saw the same Marlin and it was strong like a bull keeping its distances this time.

Day trip Spearfishing adventure with David Coy and Javier Nino

A good formula for perfect spearfishing adventure is to have solid crew and dive buddy. The day start with a bad news that one of the boy is really sick with fever and we have to send him to the hospital early in the morning. We went ahead with the trip just with David Coy and Javier Nino.

The car ride we had some good conversation about each our experience about life and spearfishing. when we arrive to the spot we were all pump up ready for some underwater shooting. Today is Javier First day, he never done any type of diving. When we all suit up Javier came out only with wetsuit top without the pant on. It was a good way to start have some laugh, relax your mind.

everything pay off Javier shot his first fish a good size unicorn fish, David shot Big trigger fish and John shot a big GT and spanish mackerel. I shoot some reef fish for my sister birthday BBQ

We drive back and we all enjoy our catch on the BBQ with some beer and local alchol called Arak.

David Giger trip 2 day Trip North Bali

It was our first time to go this part of North Bali. We heard a lot of good story from the past on all the spot we are going to go. There is one spot famous for Marlin and Sailfish. Drop off for Dogtooth Tuna and ofcourse popular spot for the spanish Mackerel to stopby before their journey to the Indian Ocean.

First Day we started at the reef, the spot is famous for spanish mackerel and reef fish. But we didn't see a lot life and not a single of bait fish. We drift and follow the current until we reach a spot full of bait fish on the surface. my First shot was A nice size maori seaperch. Then David shot few nice groupers. Toward the end of the day 12 kg Spanish mackerel swim toward me and i got a good shot.

The next day we went to drop off spots. It is well known for the Dogtooth Tuna and lots of variety of Pelagic. My first shot was 5 kg Midnight Snapper. There was so many of them so i just waited for the biggest out of the group. Then saw a lot maori Seaperch and redbass but they were keeping their distance. Then we drift and i manage to shot 9 kg Dogtooth tuna.

Then we contiune a drift and we found a spot with big school of GT, Blue fin Trevally, Golden trevally and my favorite longnose emperor. I ignore the Trevally but it was my biggest mistake because the schol of longnose was way out of range. I did few more dive but the school went back to the drop off to deep blue sea.
