Same as you mike, Zero as expected
It was very pleasant in, so well worthwhile. I decided its a good test of how spearo minded we are, i knew there wouldnt be any fish, but still took the gun, which just made working the camera a bit harder lol.

what was ur vis?

[Jonny250]

At the gouffre (start) it was very clear. Crystal bottom in 6m. But round at petit bot it was more like 6'. It was quite swelly on the way round, so probably that mixed it all up a bit. Hoping to try again tomorrow, but really wont take the gun this time lol...

[jerseymike]

Hibernating Sounds good !! I think the north wales gang are all extinct! Not that I've seen the sea for weeks ! I did go to the Deep while working away in Hull tho very very good feel very twitchy now got to get in somewhere the humber looked like cold chocolate not good vis I think.

Hi guys.

Anyone seen anything yet this year? Thinking of going in the weekend after on the 19th if the weather is OK. Looks like a reasonable low at 11. Generally, where is the best place for clear vis early season? I dont really mind if I don't see any fish and a nice deep clear dive is always a well spent few hours.

I hope to do a lot more diving this season. I need to buy a few new bits of kit and then I will be sorted. Mainly fins and mask. I might take a trip to Jersey to buy them as I have quite a slight face and some masks don't fit properly. Anyone have any input on fins? I will fork out a bit. Probably up to £200 or so if there is enough of a benefit over cheaper models.

Cheers

Hi Nj, the forum is a little quiet at this time of year but you can read every thing you need to know via the search button, here is something Best fins for spearfishing?
Definitely not much in the sea at this time of year either but good luck as you never know that huge bass or cod could just show its self?

Just back in from a good day out low watering. Me, JKS and Chef ventured down to the "secret" spot. We found 7 lobsters between us, unfortunately, only three were big enough to take, however, one was a clonking 2lb 12oz! Took a couple of photos and will post when i get a mo.

[Jonny250]

Nice one Mike
I'm hoping to get some scallops tomorrow...

Can anyone tell me a good spot for digging/raking cockles?

GRRRRRRRR! stuck in Bristol no lobstering/ormering for me Glad to hear the lobbys are around for those in the know. On a different note, would someone please hurry up and shoot some fish, I need photos/vids to keep me sane until I come home at easter and wreak havoc on the west coast.
