New Spearfishing DVD - Fish to the Bone

I have been away for the last week and I have gotten back into the office to find Brod Whitticker's new dvd trailer up and flying. before I left I saw an almost finished version of the film which was super cool. Brod is the only guy who can get the angles he does ..... really makes you feel like you are in the water with him.

I am off to Mozambique tomorrow and cant wait to get my hands on the final copy when I get back. If you like serious spearfishing action and have enjoyed Brods films why not support him and get yourself a copy? I know I am going to ....
(I think he is running a special on the Youtube site at the moment... the like he has is http://tinyurl.com/dxs9yhh for about $24!)

Onefish Going East Spearfishing DVD - Durban Premier

Chris Coates - Rob Allen (sponsor) - Richard Leonard (Director) - Matt Swart (Editor)

This past Friday night saw the Onefish Going East Durban Premier. The In The Zone team celebrated the release of their new film with a good crowd of guys that came out to the event. The film was a big hit and seeing it on the massive screen was insane. Some of the finest spearfishing moments ever caught on film blew guys away and many said they need to buy the film just so that they could go home and try absorb it all.

The guys had an opportunity to check out the latest gear, from boats, suits and guns.

The evening was hosted by the Ultimate Spearfishing Magazine who also organised a mini spearfishing Expo and cocktail evening. This on its own was ground breaking as this is the first time spearfishing in SA has had an expo with different manufactures coming together. The guys enjoyed some of the new products and got to met some of the spearfishing gear manufacturers first hand. SAUFF were also at the event and announced the South African squad for the World Championships in Spain later this year.

First up is the premier of the much anticipated Onefish - Going East spearfishing film. This is going to be shown in High Definition and on a BIG screen. And this I promise you it will blow your socks off!!

If that was not enough, the South African Team going to the World Spearfishing championships in Spain will be announced, and there will be the R5000.00 worth of Rob Allen gear for the USM subs competition will be drawn.

The guys have put together an evening not to be missed with cocktail snacks and some serious cheap beer buckets too!!

New Spearfishing Film 'Onefish - Going East' Released

Watch the Trailer Here - Going East Spearfishing Trailer

Hey Guys,

Today we finally released the next 'Onefish' spearfishing film called Going East. We uploaded the video this weekend (to do some testing and see that the HD was working properly) and did not make it public until this morning, as we wanted to send it out to our fans first.
But this did not stop the video getting out some how and by this morning we had already gotten over 4000 views!! Some guy even hacked it and reloaded it on his channel … I guess we will take that as a compliment :-)

Anyway with no more rambling here is the video, go have a look and leave a comment letting me know what you think.
Here is the video: Onefish – Going East Spearfishing Trailer

Hope you enjoy

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.

News is filtering through of some guys getting some amazing fish at Sordwana. They saw 2 Marline and managed to get one of them. Craig Harper shot 2 Sailfish over 2 days, both well in the 30's. Greg Audi got a bus cuta , apparently in very deep water on a reel gun ... that must have been interesting! Did I mention the Marlin was shot on a reel gun aswell!!
Well that's enough to get my gear packed!!

This past weekend at home the snoek came on between Westbrook and Umhloti and the few guys who were the scored big time! And Along the north coast the return Garrick are starting to come through and the guys who have braved the conditions have either seen or got fish.

Spearfishing DVD Video "Good Times"

After months and months the Spearfishing DVD Video Good Times finaly got shown to a small bunch of guys that gathered around to watch the DVD for the first time.

We waited nervously to see the response of the guys at the end of the DVD. The hour flew by so quick the DVD sucked everybody in, and ended with applause and loads of complements. ... too stoked!!

There is still a little more leg work to do before we get it on burnt to glass master, but we are looking at releasing the dvd in July. 

We are getting there!

Salty Divers Club Nite

Hey Guys its Club Nite on Friday!

And there is a new DVD to watch ... apparently it is outstanding and there are over 100 species of fish, a film that has taken a couple years to put together!!

We will do the usual "Dop en Chop", but in the event of rain just bring a pizza or something to share.

We will also be looking ahead to next year and some of the plans to try and get more diving in ....so pull in and check it out.

On the weather front the east is going to pump then turing tio a South West on Friday and Saturday, so with some luck Sunday will be diveable.

Thats all for now,
