Do not know why more people are not into spearing in Pembrokeshire. Grew up in Pembroke Dock , now live in Weymouth .
Always bring my kit when I come down to visit the folks.
In the past I have dived St. brides , Angle ( all the way around to the Heads ) Watch out for seals!
Fresh east ( right side of beach , looking out to sea ) is a good beginers dive.
Don't know if the vis is any good ever in the haven? was thinking about trying out a few of the jettys next time I come down.
hi guys.
What's the current formal situation these days with local bye-laws etc re spearing in coastal Pembrokeshire (and/or Marine Park)
I ask as one who recently contributed to sorting out the silliness of the recent European proposal (which as it stood implied banning spearo in the seas of Western Europe).
I will say that we really need to keep on at people not to shoot bass that are to small (or breeding fish that are large >7lb) the size limit for south Wales is 37.5cm and I have seen fish taken by inexperienced spearos that would be hard pushed to make it. Let’s not give people ammunition to take our sport away from us. Let’s be sensible and only take those fish that are 3 - 6lb. If you don't know the rules read up on South Wales fisheries website, that goes for crabs and lobsters too. Ignorance is no excuse.
Rant over!!
