Lo
Thanks guys! Sadly no Foxfish, I dropped my camera in the sea 2 days after I got it for my birthday! I think I wrote about the incident when I caught a pb pollock in Cornwall at the latter end of May this year and could not photo it. There were only 3-4 pictures on the memory card which was retrieved and they were of my brothers face...lovely.

I feel like I have achieved abit of a milestone today as I think I may have graduated from newb class!? (maybe not...)
I arrived at my first chosen spot(chosen because of the recent weather) at 8.30 after a 6am start. The sea had fairly decent vis but there was a huge swell. As it was only my second time fishing alone, I did not feel confident getting in due to being so exposed with 1 sea/land access point for about 1km in either direction so I decided to give it a miss and instead go on a reconaissance of the nearby coast. 5 hours later, after pretty much driving along the whole coast of the county, I made it to a spot which I had success at a few weeks ago and decided to have a look. I had not even given 1 chance that this spot would have any form of vis due to where it is but low and behold, tucked in behind a headland, I could make out the distinct green sheen of possible vis! I entered the water at around 3pm this afternoon and felt comfortable enough with my breathing to get up to my normal breath-holds in 4-5metres of water. An hour or so later, I had a pb bass on my dive hunter that was circa 5lb in weight and was happy enough with myself/day that I decided to call time.
Until next time...(Manchester>Cardiff>Pembrokeshire>Cardiff>Manchester in 2 days is funnnnnn and SOO cheap...)
Any tips on how to catch lobsters while spearing?
I don't really look out for them, assume you tend to find them in holes, but do you just reach in and grab them- or do those claws move quick and get used in anger?
