hi people
i am new to deeperblue today! i will start with a spearing trip off of the west coast of guernsey ci yesterday got wet @ about 5.00pm (half tide up)and rising/ spent two hours 30 mins in with my buddy sgt pepper, we swam (freedived) throu two bays vis was about 6-10 foot with a building swell and increasing west winds within 2 mins sgt pepper speared a rock fish(bullan rasse) 1lb or so.. from the edge of the bay/headland we followed the tide in pepper and myself shot at a couple of grey mullot but missed! as we got closer in shore we started to use the high sea weed /rack/rocks etc for more cover/together with the camo suit etc we started to get closer to the fish to enable closer quaters shooting a few mins later i broardsided a 2.5pound mullot,fixed it on to the catch ring and carried on hunting 60 70 mins or so later the tide/swell had everything in a good motion 3 more nice mollot were speared varying 2-3 lb or so as the vis/daylight started to fade(poor weather conditions/heavy cloud swell /wind )we headed back across the two bays, the swim back was good fun and hard going due to the good old atlantic swell 30 meters or so from where we were going to pull our selvs back on to terrafirma i spotted a nice looking bass!! he was making good speed and was feeding i think//he was not sitting around sniping food...that was my job!! the bass came back around to my left (10-12foot away) he was making a departure thats when i took the shot my mares cyrano 850 was at arms lenth//vis at that distance was poor the spear just sliced the top of his head at full reach he was stunned (but not on the spear/string) i swam over as fast as i could grabbed him buy the the gills and he was mine  2lb or sothis was my 4th spearing hunt this year the last hunt i went on i took 3 mullot 2-3lb,, 1 bass 4lb or so from the same spot on this occassion i had fixed a spear cam to my gun I recorded 3 of the five kills this time round and will post the finished clips soon thanks people and happy spearing mcfargon Guernsey channel islands uk
