Pilbara Winters! Solo Spearfishing And Whale Encounters 🐋 

It's been six short months now, from enduring the sweltering heat of the back end of summer, to now soaking up the sunshine and perfect climate of the Pilbara winters. Either, or, I've loved every single second of it!

Join me in this mid-winter adventure as I launch my ever trusty 420 Dory centre console tinny from my local boat ramp in Dampier, Western Australia.

I journey out to some familiar ground to jump into the water, where I'll begin my hunt for a fresh catch of fish, armed with my speargun and camera, a solo underwater adventure awaits!

Once back on the surface and happy with the few fish I claimed for the purpose of this video, and of course; my dinner! I throw an old faithful lure out behind the boat and begin a small top water session as I make waves towards the islands.

In what had been months since taking a fishing rod out with me, I'd forgotten just how fun and exhilarating it really can be to here that line go tight, and see the rod bend! After a quick hookup, and a fight that ended with a similar feeling to reeling in a wet sock; I had another fish on board, and one I was awfully STOKED with!

With a day that had been so enjoyable and gone by so seamlessly, the only way to wrap things up, was quite literally, with some fresh fish wraps, cooked on the beach, with an ever simple catch and cook, before I journeyed on home with nothing but a smile on my face. 

Winter's in the Pilbara are like nowhere else. 
With the whale migration in full swing, accompanied by blue skies, the fish are plenty, and the spirits are high, it's easy to understand why I've decided to put roots down here, and give myself somewhere to call home.

Thanks for watching, your patience, and your support. 

I'll see you all again soon, all in due time!
