This site is covers the "pole spear" fishing adventures of the Okinawa "Pole Spear" Fishing Club members. We are located in Okinawa, Japan and just recently got into the sport. Although we're rookies, what we lack in experience we make up for in enthusiasm. If you live in Okinawa and would like to join in the fun of the hunt or have some words of wisdom, please contact us.

Today Kevin and I decided to try a trip a short distance north to see how the hunting would be. We initially set out for Onna Point, but once there saw that the swells and chop were a little too big for us to handle. Although not good today, Onna Point appears to have fishy potential. A word of advice, if going to Onna Point, make sure it hasn't been raining or you better have 4-wheel drive because the unpaved road gets really narly in some spots. Since the first spot was a blow-out, we then set out further north. We stopped on the side of Rt 58 in a large cove that seemed promising. After swimming out against a strong current, we noticed that the area was reletavily shallow but held some good fish on the coral structures. We had some decent shots but ended up with 1 small fish each. We weren't in the water very long before we had to leave to get back to our families due to the time we spent finding the spot. This may be a spot to try at higher tide when larger fish may move into the cove. We'll keep on trying to find new spots.
