Hi Alex, Long gun and a tall girl brought to Phils will not make you happy: no fish to shoot and too much locals will put your mind in trouble. Bring both to Bali!
Spearfishing in Phils is left to locals who are prepared to go extra mile to spearfish.
Yes, i know the problem that some foreigners have bad experience fishing here.
Yes, it is often overfished, but that makes it only more challenging.
I myself fish since 6 years in the Philippines. Respecting local traditions, laws and sanctuaries + sharing fish and often using local fisherman as boatman i got plenty of fish and friends here.
Thats also why whenever i go fishing with guests of mine they HAVE to make a "local spearfishing orientation" with me to avoid any problems and be successful in fishing.
- target and non target species
- freediving safety procedures
- laws and regulations
- local marine environment
- where to find good fishing spots
- first aid for marine related injuries
- local interaction guidelines
- PR
Education is for me the key to success to solve many problems.
It also helps to dive deeper and longer, but you dont have to be a world champion to catch those kind of fish
@vamforce ... there is still plenty of fish to share
Especially the blue water hunting potential is still much unexplored by spearos.
There will be a blue water hunting fishing trip posted on my website soon. (Wahoo, Mahi Mahi guarantee
)
