That sounds terrible, I hate driving couldn't imagine a 8hour trip, glad you got one for your efforts!!Would love to go spearing in Cornwall one day.. I'll be listening out mate, hope all go's well in the morning for you..

 

[denian]

got in this morn for 10mins couldnt see end of my arm!looked better on high but still blowing a gale and big swell .will wait till monday back down in cornwall again did you have any luck in norfolk?

 

[norfolknovice]

Had the same mate, couldn't see 10cm.. There's this weird sludgey sh*t all over the beach and in the sea, it looks like gravey it's horrible.. Took my rods out last night and caught a 2.5lb bass and a rare horse mackerel which I've never seen before.. I need a torch, conditions looked good last night I wanted to be diving..

 

[denian]

Any luck ?Have you been in ?

 

[norfolknovice]

Been ill with chest infection and rsi pains in wrist so not been in but Going in today, conditions not perfect but I'm getting withdrawal symptoms from the sea.. I'll update as soon as I'm done..

 

[norfolknovice]

Ohhhhhhhhh I'm starting to dislike norfolk now..... BUT I think I've got it the vis problems worked out!!! It seems that we need to have a southerly wind for a week straight at the same time as low tides. Seems that the higher tides here just destroy the visability, probably due to all the marshland here. My last dive was horrendous, I have never seen such disgusting looking water in my life!!

Going rod fishing tonight as the bass are about.. ):

I'm working in Skegness might be the nearest I'm going to get down the weathers gloryus ? The sea looks horrible but the holiday makers are still in it cooling down.any luck norfolknovice ?

 

[norfolknovice]

Hey denian,

Still having no luck here, haven't been in for a couple of weeks now.. I just can't manage to find a good bit of vis anywhere lol.. I'll keep all updated if and when I do manage to go.. As it stands, if your really into spearfishing- keep away from Norfolk!!

 

[Panhandle]

I'm up at Bacton at the end of the week.
I'm going to take my stuff and go for an explore but not expecting too much. Will take the Paddleboard too in case the vis is as bad as I'm expecting!

When you go in, are you staying relatively close to shore or heading further out?

Hi Jim..

Good to hear your coming down, il be up for a meet up when you do, I have generally stayed quite close to shore as have been diving alone.. My last dive was amazing vis was at 2m+ but didn't see any fish.. Bacton is a little way up from me so maybe we could do a meet up at cromer pier and do a dive there??

Hi fdb

I'm due to go on my first trip of the year this week, I am only a mile from brancaster so it will be one of my options of where I would like to go, I'm also thinking of going cley soon as there are 2 wrecks 100 meters off the beach, I'm up for a meet up and dive if you are at some point? Always best to have a partner. Where in Norfolk are you from?

Well I only started last year so I am no way a pro by any means, did get up to 2 and half mins of holding my breath though, and shot my first fish which was amazing experience. As soon as you get your weight belt il be up for a dive, do you have a kayak? Can be handy in Norfolk as you may know our waters are not the deepest. It's an addictive hobby, I was waking up at 4 everyday for weeks just to go for a dive before work..

i have a kayak so can bring that am an hour and 20 from brancaster so early mornings are weekends for me but can do after work if suits you. the kl road works are a pain at moment as well. i have contact someone re a belt so hopefully by next week ill have one. what's the hunting like have you had much luck. i gather lots of flatties about

 

[norfolknovice]

Hopefully you can get a belt next week and we'll have a try next weekend, i live in burnham market so you could come here and well head to cley, best thing about cley is its a bit deeper and has the wreck to dive, I have seen lots of flatfish so far, not so many other fish but I know they're there as we have been catching loads with rods recently. Just send me a message when your all kitted up and we'll plan a dive.. I'm just waiting on some new gloves and socks but should be here tomorrow, I can't wait to get back out!!

 

[fdb]

Hopefully will have a belt by tomorrow so am good to go one eve this week or the next ill let you know

Would LOVE to see some photos of this set up! I really hope you're attaching a 2hp, not a 15hp!
