Spearfishing in Bahia Asuncion
As Manuel from Kalicos Loco in Bahia Asuncion does not write English, he once again asked us to post his pictures to show off some nice yellowtail
nailed by some spear fishermen. He said they weighed from 19.5 to 21 kilos---40+pounds. It happened last weekend.
Now these fishermen are smiling 
Manuel thanks you for looking.

I thought this area and south were off limits to diving because of the abalone coop regulations. Am I wrong....?

Only if you come up with an abalone on the end of your spear ...dt

Those are amazing yellow tail, glad to see that the bite is finally on.
What we see depends mainly on what we look for.

The local cooperativas dont much like the fact that the public is allowed to dive here but it is legal if you have the proper permits. You can only
spear fin fish free diving (no tanks) and the limits are 5 fish a day with band guns...no hawaiin sling types.
We also have some very good news...my husband Juan Arce Marron....just received the first scuba diving permit for this area...he is so excited as
diving is his passion. So now visitors can bring thier scuba gear and dive the kelp forests at the islands...the diving is excellent here when the
visibility is good.
WOOO HOOO those are some awesome yellowtail!!!! the yellowtail are spreading out now this week too...some at san roque island and dave even caught one
trolling in his litte tin boat at asuncion island...finally.

Shari, Does Juan have a compressor for filling scuba tanks or does anyone in Asuncion have the capability?

These fish were all near Asuncion island. One young local we know likes to spear fish right near the shore---no boat. The co-op tried to stop him,
but he was within the law and continues to spearfish there----he has gotten some amazing fish very close to the shore.
As dtbushpilot said, don't come up with an abalone on the end of the spear---that or a lobster would not be a good idea.
