In November, Fishing has been less than optimal in La Paz. Intense rains and winds have affected the visibility. It’s not been impossible to get good fish, but I haven’t crossed easy prey. The good stuff stayed below 23 meters and the larger fish under 25m… maybe the cold had something to do with it.… Read More »
I was fishing somewhere south of La Paz. I began my day by paddling 30 minutes and anchoring, only to find out I did not have the top part of my wetsuit… So I jumped in without my suit and took the anchor out. The seas were rough enough for me to have to turn… Read More »
December 14, 2018. I was diving an hour from La Paz. I was looking for snappers and groupers. That day I found very little fish. When I finally did, they were hiding in holes past 25 meter (80 feet) and they were not big. I got a yellow snapper at 26 meters and a grouper… Read More »
I spent february and march fishing in Baha, these are by far the worse months, but don’t let this stop you from visiting… unless you want easy fishing or are only interested in pelagics… Winter is a time for shooting deep Cuberas, yellowtails and finding the tasty but smallish groupers (15 pounders). The Pacific side… Read More »
Check out the scup.
Alexandre Touchette interviewed me on a Wednesday evening in September. We had trouble finding the right fish for the cooking footage but we prevailed!

After five years of absence, I went to the Mass Open! Jay Moore was nice enough to let me join the Rhode Island Freediving Club, following payment and a promise to give him my first child… It’s an exclusive club! I was really insecure after such a long absence from competitions. I didn’t know all… Read More »
Winter 2013 2014 is especially cold in Montreal… Regardless, last weekend, perhaps due to a form of cabin fever or temporary seasonal insanity, we convinced ourselves spearfishing was a good idea. -10C was an improvement compared to other days of January. Actually any day with temperatures above -15C were celebrated. But, -10C remains way too… Read More »

Last year I spent a four days on Block Island with Professional Wrestler Eric Young. My challenge was to prepare him to spearfish at the Race. Obviously, the Race is not a place where you take new freedivers. Actually, no one should dive there given the speed of the current, the darkness of the water, the dept,… Read More »
