Re: How deep do you hunt?

I love to hunt the shallows. I also hunt to catch my tea. Luckily were I live I can successfully stalk the weed beds very often in only inches of water. Of course if I need to dive or fancy a particular species that lives in deeper water, then I dive to my ability to catch them. The main quarry that requires the most strenuous diving routine are flatfish. Unfortunately flatfish are no longer common in our seas. My normal dive last about one & a half hours during witch time I will swim to my chosen hunting ground, sometimes that can be some distance out from the shore. Quite often the swim out is over a sandy bottom in witch case I will do a few exploratory dives to check for flatfish. Even in shallow water I will submerge & lie amongst the weed for my maximum breath hold.
Spaghetti I also have similar visions but I see us four sitting alongside my outdoor open fire in the evening sun awaiting the smoker to return our catch of the day.
