Have you given up spearfishing, or something? The forum is usually plastered with pictures of your outstanding catches at this time of year.

I cant give you any up to date info but you should try the search button anyway, however I have read a few thing about the islands.
Spearo Dave wrote a bit & someone else too but they both said it was very over fished!

Think I heard somewhere that they get strong tides/currents around there

I've speared in the Scillies quite a few times now, mostly on St Martins and St Marys. It's true that you won't find any bass over there, they turn up now and again but very rarely. There are loads of mullet however and some marks are just really enjoyable to dive regardless of whether you shoot anything. Some spots, such as on St Marys get straight into very deep water and currents can get pretty lively. I've had great fishing from the kayak really close in with some good pollock taken.
As for restrictions, i've never had any problems fishing there. We have friends there and i've heard one of the lads has started spearing with a gun he got from the fishing shop. I'm heading over there next week myself and said i'd take my kit so i can go for a dive with him. If i can gain any more conclusive info for you i'll let you know.
 
Much appreciated guys
Badlander:if you go next week ,yes please feed me with information!!
Thanks for the advice everybody and also nice to divert the unpleasant comments we had in this Forum lately.
I wish you well
 
Bugger off!

Hey Toni,

I know that English isn't your first language, so I'd just like to let you know that I didn't mean that literally - I was just pulling your leg. :)

Gaz.


P.S: By saying 'pulling your leg', I'd just like to let you know that I don't mean that literally - I'm just teasing you in a friendly, jokey way. :)

All the best,

Gaz
