Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 60 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
The sea is definitely waking up. No bass yet but plenty of mullet about. weather's not looking good for this week.
 
Looks like I may be down in Truro working from Monday for a few weeks then back again a few weeks after that .I would like to meet up with any one if poss or point me towards a safe area maybe Portscatho ? Bay ?can only do eves really .Will find out tomorrow what's happening and where I'm staying fingers crossed for side side digs !Take it the weather in the last few days has mashed things up a bit tho!ta
 
This summer, me and my mate Mike (londonpolespear) will be setting up a small Wheeler-Dealer style restaurant down in prussia Cove (Bessies cove to be more precise) in the car park or campsite where we will be staying. We will be open at the end of the day so around 5 to 7 or 8 if all goes to plan. We are friendly with the guy who owns the estate so all should be "A Go". All of our fish will be speared/caught by u, and we have invested in a Hot Smoker so we will be distributing smoked mackerel to the people, I have conjured up some new exotic recipes so if your in the area, drop on by! There will be a discount for spearo's!
 
Great idea!!!!! Can't beat smoked makeral and horseradish baps after a long days diving.

Not sure if you will be able to sell the speared fish tho as its against the law to sell speared fish.....

Should be a good practice to drop into the sea one's fishing rests !
First you feed other fish...
Second you don' t leave a sign about a good place...
 
Off to padstow next week for 1 week, can anyone recommend any good local spots ? I have a canoe to get to any further out locations!
cheers

Hi Simon, I am off for most of next week and looking for a buddy to dive/spear with. PM me if you want to meet up. I am based in Hampshire but can head down for 2 or 3 days. Oh, and I have a 3.2 sib with 10hp and a tow rope so your canoe will fly!!!
Cheers

Far better than I did! I was in at portholland on sunday and saw nothing appart from a tiny school of bait fish and an army of hermit crabs! The water felt much warmer than it has been though.
