Today's yarn we catch up with Zachary Schmidt for the second time on the show. This time round Zach gives us an in depth insight into the magical world of spearfishing for Dogtooth Tuna in Papua New Guinea. 

Zach is the lead spearing guide on board Trade Wind Charters mothership that travel the untouched waters of PNG in search of the fish of a lifetime, the iconic Dogtooth Tuna.

We go deep into everything you need to know if your thinking of testing yourself against the hardest fighting fish in the sea.

Topics include: 

• Dive experience required 
• Equipment-gear requirements
• Environmental conditions
• Tour locations and getting there
• Mothership details (provided meals etc)
• Techniques for finding doggies
• Safety considerations for spearfishing

It has been a pleasure to watch Zach evolve over the last two years (since our first podcast together) into a confident and experienced spearo who has a genuine love of the ocean and all that lies beneath it. 

We at Stalk Outdoors need to get our act into gear and get on one of these incredible spearing charters in the near future. We couldn't think of a kinder, more genuine human to lead us on the trip of a life time than Zachary Schmidt.

This is his story.
