Spearfishing North of C'von

Better late than never. Saturday, Feb 21 Misch and Ben had a go at a spot that none of us had tried before, a place with a lot of deep gutters and high rising coral bommies, some might notice it from the pictures. The boys told of various small Mackerel, different Trevally species, a number of Sharks and even a Coral Trout being seen! All I saw was perfect conditions, small surf and birds working out wide. I was restricted to watching from the beach due to losing a clip off one of my fins, time for a new pair I reckon, so didn’t get to dive but got some great shots of the conditions and the fish. Still, what a day!

Here are just a few… Enjoy

Check out the mouth on that Cod!

Both Misch and Ben use 1400mm's, Ben's is a Superfrog i think and Mischa's is a Rob Allen Caranx, Misch shoots Spaniards up to 30kg with this thing! Those Baldies didn't know what hit them haha.

Misch with the Baldie is a cracka of a shot!  Photoshop the 'dripping' out would finish it off nicely.

Talking of shot, where was that Baldie hit?  No visible mark.

Great pics

Excellent pics, fish and report guys. Obviously a place that can only be spearfished when the swell is low.

That water looks great.
