We weren't planning on going spearfishing today. Then we received a call from our long lost mentor Paul who informed us he was going out today for the first time in almost 6 months. The hunt was on. No way were we going to pass up a chance to hunt with the Jedi Master of Okinawa Spearfishing! The group consisted of Ken, Carey, and the Riffe World record holder, Paul Smith. The weather unfortunately was an issue, but we managed to get 2 hours of spearfishing in before the current and winds forced us out of the water. We went up north just off the expressway on the southern end of Nago, the terrain was sandy with coral canyons spreading out like fingers in depths of anywhere from 20 feet to at least 100 feet. At first we thought it was going to suck, but then the fish started popping out of their holes. There were coral trout everywhere! Paul ended up with 2 small coral trout (he said the fish looked much bigger underwater and his depth perception was bad after such a long layoff) as well as a couple of nice parrot fish and a soldierfish. Ken got one medium sized parrot fish and the fish of the day award went to Carey, who speared a nice Purple Rockcod (about 5 pounds) and a red parrotfish which made great sashimi later that night!! Welcome back, Paul!!
