Hi Guys..
I've been a member for the past 3 years.. but this is my first post ever.. So I really would appreciate your responses, as the issue is quite important..
I'm planning to go on a spearfishing trip in April of this year with my wife :inlove .. but I have no idea where to.. After a month of research via Facebook, my best bet seems to be the country furthest away from where I live (in Dubai).. exactly on the opposite side of the globe: Tonga Islands, in the Southern Pacific..
I don't mind the distance at all, but I need your opinion guys, if any, about spearfishing in Tonga, coz I have a feeling deep in my gut telling me that I can find bigger fish elsewhere..
Tonga is said to have 20-40 kg pelagics in 30 meters of vsibility, in 27 C waters.. Can anyone confirm/ refute that statement, or suggest a better location/ country/ continent..?
Pls. keep in mind that my sad facts are as follows:
Free-diving smoking chimney
Best Depth: 17 meters
Best Bottom time: 1:40secs
Best Gun: Riffe- C3X, standard stock
Best Fish: 22.5kg Jack (Jash/Goal/Yeb)
Targeted Fish: Pelagics, any sort
Targeted Size: 40kgs plus plus..
Targeted Visibility: 25m plus
Targeted Temp: 20C plus
Hence the question:
Where's the Best place on the PLANET for spearfishing in the month of April '08..?
Ps: If I'm posting this article in the wrong place, pls. advise..
