I used to hanker after great visibility but recently have found that it often favours the fish more than me! I'm currently thinking 2-4m vis. might be optimal for me. Best if you can at least see past the end of your spear!

Re. the cockles, I wondered if industrial pollution might be an issue? There has been talk of increased coastal pollution this year due to the heavy flooding last year (washing slurry, sewage, etc. into the rivers & sea). I just posted a piece about Michael Winner getting vibrio vulnificus (like cholera) from an oyster on the current sushi recipe thread.

Anything happening Pembroke way?
