Calm down Jwells it is early days, the weather will change for the better. Get your running shoes on or pull out a squash racket, I used to run three miles every other night and plan all my national dives in my head including a plan B for each one. Contact the Sussex lads and see if there is any way you can improve your gear.

Hello all, please see attached information about our National competition this year.
SUSSEX NATIONAL COMPETITION BOGNOR 2008 Venue Bognor Reef Date April 26th (Sat) Back Up Date Sept 20th (Sat) Meeting Point 'The Green' junction of Marine Drive West and Silverston Avenue, West Bognor 9.00am Start & Finish From the Green Competition Area Felpham Buoy to Barn Rocks Start Time 10.00 am Finish 16.00 pm. Fish As per National Rules, Bass 45cm Entry Fee Senior £15 Including Raffle Juniors & OAPs Free Competitors must not swim inside of the yellow buoys east of the pier. Contact E-mail kevinmannall@hotmail.co.uk or PM at deeper blue or eric.aquaman@btinternet.com Note Bass 45cm in the Sussex Area Wrasse & Congers Excluded Pollack 300gms for juniors but will not count for national pos. Juniors must have signed permission from an adult to dive. Compasses are a national rule, as fog is a real problem at this time of year, make sure you have one or you may not be able to fish. UNDERSIZE FISH SHOULD NOT BE LANDED. History We are holding the competition early again hoping to catch the arrival of the Bream and Pollack shoals like the very successful dive last year. The start is from the beach to take advantage of the big up coming tide that seems to produce more big bass, like the fish of 8 kilos that came out of this area last season! Watch out for Boats including Yachts there are launch ramps and sailing clubs in the area. regards Kev Last edited by KWM; March 25th, 2008 at 12:40.

If anyone wants to meet members of the Sussex spearfishing club and get to know other spearfishermen in the area, we are having a meeting next week, likely to be in either Brighton or Shoreham. The Sussex spearfishing club is celebrating forty years in existence this year. PM me for more details.

i know its so annoying the sea has been very calm now for several days but is still murky.
has anyone had a look at the marina, dont know what the vis will be like over there, probably not much better. one good thing though the winds are either supposed to stay down or stay northerly so it will stay calm and hopefully clear, eventually!

how long does it usually take for the sea to clear after a storm i dont remember it taking this long last year especially with all the calm weather we have been having. maybe its because the weather has been so rough these last few monthes its mixed the sea up a lot,

Out last night for my first dive of the season, went a fished a local mark with Eric Aqua. Conditions were good with a water temperature of 8oc, viz not bad approximately 4-5m. There was not a lot to be seen except some huge Wrasse and some even bigger Congers, not a bass or any thing else edible in-sight. Still it was a good dive and went well for the first of the season. Things can only get better, I hear that local fishermen have had some bream in there nets. Thanks to Eric for the ride out, the boat went very well.

Water on the east side of the marina is looking good today. Nice and clear. Gonna wait till I get my new camo Elios before going in, or maybe wait till the fish arrive.
Noticed that the lobster pots have been put out this week too.

i finally went out today around the east arm of the marina, vis was ok about 2 - 3 meters, but dropped the further i went out.
i was suprised to come across an ok sized sole, bit early for themi know but when i got it up i noticed that someting had taken a clean bit out of its tail, anyone have any ideas what it could be, a tope maybe? will have that for dinner! hoping to try the palace pier tommorow as the vis was not very good there today, thats why i went to the marina, anyway a really good day. i also noticed that the lobster pots have been put out for a while captain j, i am gonna have a proper look for them tommorow. how big where the congers kev, how far out did you go? captain j i remember you saying at the beggining of last winter that you brought a elios black shadow wetsuit, how come you buying a new wetsuit already? josh Last edited by jwells1989; April 9th, 2008 at 20:35.
