Thanks Scott. Now I really have a dilemma - be sensible and stay home or follow the urge to get wet and go anyway.

Go anyway wins every time
If you dont go and I post a picture of the bass Im going to catch from the bay 2moro YOU ARE GOING TO KICK URSELF

[spearheads]

Scott how many meters would u say the viz was.

[scottwilson]

2 meters at tops mate with loads of crud BUT that was meadfoot and the current was going towards the beach so I would say babbacombe side should be clearer

[spearheads]

ok thanks, Think i will try somewhere else then.

Dived at 4pm today and saw zero fish, due to been 4inchs from the bottom scratching around for scallops getting out to the spot for the scallops was easier than usual due to the wind but I paid for it with the swim back.

Saw a female brown crab with what looked like red eggs and a few spiders but left them as the last crab I caught has put a hole in my scallop bag, i dont feel so bad about eating him now

Came home and turned the kitchen into a mini scallop cleaning factory, it drives the girlfriend mad but it has to be done.

Killien when you coming down again mate the crabs were asking where you were

[scottwilson]

forgot the picture

Nice haul! Mmmmmm Scallops.

Tried Babbacombe today. Vis was very patchy - up to 4m in places and down to 1m in others with loads of floating rubbish. Saw 2 good sized mullet in a hole but my gun was pointing the wrong way and they got away. Tried the scallop spot but it was really murky at the bottom and I didn't have the heart for scratching around 7m down in near zero visibility.
