North Devon Spearfishing

[James T]

Anyone spear in North Devon?

Was thinking of a trip down to Croyde for a bit of winter spearing this weekend. Anyone know what the vis is likely to be on the weekend?

Any other suggestions for North Devon Spearing this weekend - have never speared there?

hey
dont know if this helps,
Saunton / Croyde / Woolacombe Surf Report, Surf Forecast and Surf Webcams
have a look at the picture in the eyeball surf report if you ask me that looks like you will get away with some good vis and as the winds are down for the next dew days aswell.

if all else fails bring your surfboard,

Went for a look at Lee this morning with my new suit.
Couldn't see the end of my spear!
I guess I'll have to wait for a bit or travel further afield.

I guess SW would work fine around the North side Lynmouth etc?

hi guys, im a spearfisher who until recently was just into shellfish, crabs and lobbies. my dad owns the pub at lee bay and im going to be out pretty much every day from mid july. anyone who wants to come join me is more than welcome, ill show you what there is to be found in the bay, i reckon it's a little more wave sheltered that most of north devon barring estuaries.

Rowan - you are a very lucky boy! Lee Bay is a cracking dive spot. Look out for a 3 year old D3 rolling around in the sand somewhere around there! The remainder of a legendary dive in 2006!

[Mr. X]

Welcome Teddy0 & Rowan.Harvey. We just had lobster, spider crab & crayfish for dinner, with some savoury rice. There was a lot of shell for the amount of meat but it made a pleasant change. Pub on a good diving bay - sounds idyllic.

[rowan.harvey]

check my lobster out from a secret spot near plymouth! pulled him out a hole with the barb on the end of my spear!

[TeddyO]

Rowan, I've just sent you a PM. Anyone else interested in heading out get in contact and I'll give you a bell. Great lobster Rowan! Ted, Braunton

[Pav]

yes, finally we have some keen local deeperblue members!
I've not done much locally yet this year, although mackeral being caught from Yaks. I've been spearing on southern waters! , but shouldn't be long now for our waters to clear!
