This 👹 Devilfish 🐟 Rodeo to Madagascar was soooo much fun. This is my annual west coast run from the Barren islands 🏝to Castor Banks. This was a serious case of the young bull 🐮… Humoud Al Hajlan vs the old bulls ….Abdulla Al Malki  & Yousef Almalki. Lots of bets, banter and tom foolery went down, the only time we were not laughing was when we were holding out breaths.

As always there was a bit of friendly competition… just a bit. This trip there were loads of 30-40kg fish with the odd tank causing through the action. Picking your fish and making the shot count 🎯is easier said than done, even when the damn things are on the surface. Then one morning the the old bull Abdulla strolls out gets in the water with the 1300 double roller amidst the chaos of a Couta and Doggie wrangle and picks off the fish of the trip, a 45kg Doggie. This fish came in on his brother Yousef’s Doggie, which had come in on Humoud’s Spanish Mackerel. Three fish on, sharks and chaos, absolute spearfishing ecstasy.

Young bull Humoud came back with fire putting in a couple great stone 🎯shots. But unfortunately a good size Black Marlin and tank doggie that did not get landed will be on replay every night for the rest of the year.

This spearfishing spoof on Alt-j’s ‘In Cold blood’ video was an in the moment thing that just stuck.

Finally here is the spearfishing video from MJK's Madagascan exploratory trip he did with me at the end of last year. We found some crazy new spots far off the beaten track that had some amazing shoals of dog tooth tuna.
This trip was a little different as we spent alot of time looking for bigger fish. MJK only pulled the trigger 5 times on this trip and converted 4 fish losing only one to sharks. Pretty much setting the std now for landing doggies over 100lbs.

Spearfishing Castor Banks Madagascar

Spearfishing Dogtooth Tuna on Castor Banks Madagascar

If you are like most spearfisherman, ticking the Dogtooth Tuna box is high on the bucket list. Doggies however are pretty hard to find. Harder to shoot, and harder still to land. Making them the trophy fish over all trophy fish in the spearfishing world. That’s where my spots off  Castor Banks in northern Madagascar come into play. Castor Banks is a vast area, and I still have many secret places that don’t get any fishing pressure. This means that it is almost guaranteed that you will see lots of Doggies there.

We also have unique ways of approaching the fish in the area and some spots we even get the doggies to the surface. Watch the video

I will then personally guide you through every step of the way to shoot and land the fish of your dreams.

Spearfishing Madagascar

Hey

I have just gotten back from a crazy spearfishing adventure in northern Madagascar. We went to Intermediate and the famous Castor Banks, where we found some all time dog tooth tuna action.

As per usual the dogtooth proved harder to land than to shoot. We slowed things down and the guys got more careful of their shots and Ahmidy was rewarded with a fantastic stone shot on a 37kg Dog tooth.



The dog tooth were coming to the surface in some places, it was that wild. You could see absolute giant fish cruizing below 20m. Check this video out - Spearfishing Dogtooth Tuna Madagascar

Madagascar is well known for its incredible numbers of doggies, and not so much for their size. I have seen number of fish between 60-80kg on this last trip. And my skipper who has been spearing and fishing the area for 15 years is adamant that we will spear one of a 100kg very soon. As fisherman have gotten them at that size.

Anyway time will tell and I have a number of trips there in the next few months, lets hope my skipper is right!

Madagascar Spearfishing Expedition

Massive Madagascan Spanish Mackerel - Mohammed Al Kuwari

I recently got back from an epic exploration spearfishing trip to the Barren Islands off the west coast of Madagascar. We spent a week exploring 200km of an uncharted reef system looking for giant Dog Tooth Tuna and Black Marlin.

We didn't really have any joy with the Doggies, although we did see a couple of very very big fish. On the Marlin side we did see a couple and got close to getting a spear into a really big one.

We covered a massive amount of area and shot a loads of good fish from giant Spanish mackerel and some GT's. The full report back on this amazing trip will be published in Vol 12 of the Ultimate Spearfishing Magazine

Spearfishing Dogtooth Tuna in Madagascar

One of the Dogtooth Tuna from our spearfishing trip to Madagascar

The footage from our spearfishing trip to Madagascar was so epic we did a quick edit and have added it to our next DVD OneFish out in the beginning of November. The spearfishing was so amazing that we are trying to organise to get back to Madagascar early next year. This time a little wiser and hopefully this time we will land some really big Dogtooth Tuna.

I am loading some more pics up on the One Fish facebook page so go check it out.

Spearfishing Madagascar & the Casor Banks

I have just gotten back from an exploratory spearfishing trip to Madagascar. The Ultimate Spearfishing mag and a journalist from the French magazine Apnea were invited out to Nosy Sakatia by the spearfishing charter Orca Sakatia run by Craig Scott.

A Castor Banks Dog Tooth Tuna

I dont want to give too much away as we will be doing a full article in the next edition of the mag. But I have to tell you that it is off the hook! We only managed to get out to Castor Banks once as it is 80km out to sea!! But when you get there you will flip your lid. Castor Banks has to be the best place I have ever spearfished ...hands down. On 2 occasions I saw Black Marlin, one was a beast the other was probably about 150kg. We saw Sailfish on numerous occasions and there were Wahoo and Iggies every where. And thats only what you see from the surface!! When you get to 20-25m as you approach the drop off there are Dog Tooth Tuna  that swim at you like Salad fish only a 100 times bigger.

Dane Salmon happy finally have one Doggie in the hand.

The problem with a place like that is that you let fish of a lifetime just swim past, because once you have seen Marlin, Sailfish and 60plus kg Doggies thats all that you will settle for. I pulled back on shots on 30kg plus Ignobilis Kingfish and countless Wahoo. The prize was the Dogtooth, and putting spears into the Doggies was easy, the hard part was landing the fish. I lost and broke 5 spears and rigs, and I was only shooting the Dogtooth tuna I could get the best shots on. Even when you shoot a 40-50kg Dogtooth in the head you get snapped up. Dane shot what I think was a 60kg fish, I was on the bottom and saw the whole thing. It looked like he spined the fish and it went down doing somersaults, that fish some how still had plenty of life and it bolted off only to snap the metal clip on his line.

Ronan with his Sailfish

While Dane and I tried in vain to land a big Doggie, Ronan Bourhis the French journalist managed to get close to a Sailfish and landed a good one. We did manage to get a few small fish, but the Doggies beat us :-(
I think next time I will be whole lot wiser and more prepared...... Like take a whole bunch of spears prepared!
