Dorset Spear Fishing 2011

Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 90 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
Today is a special day. . . a day when everything changes. . . a day when nothing can ever be the same again.
None of us will be able to get in the water again without that little thought in the back of our minds 'I wonder if this dive I'll see one, after all it's happened once before, so why not?'

So I'll raise my bottle of Skinners Hellegan Honey and drink a toast to Brett, the man who changed the face British spearfishing forever.
Cheers Brett. :friday
 
G&T (not GT!) for me... Have a look at the Crystal Vis facebook page. Sounds like Titus and Joe have their ears to the ground. Head to Portland this weekend and there will be more boats than water!!!

Seriously though, hats off to Brett 'John West' Morison...

Thanks Dave. Epitome of a wink to a fellow Spearo. Appreciate that and totally agree.
Podge, Foxfish, Bobdonny and others put another few good ones up tonight about eating the beauty too! Feel like the weight is lifting.
 
Brett, get it down you young-un.:friday:friday

So how about this then-
We now have swimming around in our waters, Plankton, Sprats, Mackerel, Seals, Tuna and you all know what’s coming next don’t you….!!!!:martial:blackeye:martial:):)
Power Head anyone???roflroflrofl

Dont forget the ORCA we had around Guernsey a week or so ago & that creature was 30' long.

That might win F.O.M. Need a big set of scales and a ginormous newspaper though. ( I'm sure Murdoch has some paper to spare now.)

Hey Brett, um . . . was just wondering, um . . . I mean couldn't help noticing, who's the beautiful girl on your face book page? :inlove
 
Brett, congratulations on such a fantastic catch and a cracking story! I know how much I shake when I get a big pollack or bass so can't imagine how you felt!!
Rep will be on its way once I have spread the love!!
Dave
 
Hey guys, just a quick message and a pic of what i have caught out here in cyprus recently, nothing compared to the tuna though, i am very impressed.

Hi all,

haven't reported much activity lately, however I have managed a few dives here and there taking home a few nice bass up to 7lb, cuttlefish, pollock and the odd lobster.

Desperate to try my new RA1100 I made my way down to Portland to roundevous with my dive buddy, thinking it would be nice to land me one of these lovely Tuna's everyone is so hyped about....... Dropped in at Portland Bill and made my way out to a ledge previously scouted by myself and a couple of others, at which I had spotted a couple of Guilthead bream on my last visit, one of my target speacies for 2010 http://forums.deeperblue.com/uk-ireland/85879-whats-your-dream-fish-catch-2010-season.html.

After settling in with a good few warm up dives I started to drop in off the ledge at around 15m and began see a few small bass on the edge of viz. Dying test my aim I held tight and bingo 3 Guiltheads came into view......click!

Needles to say I'm made up with my first Guilthead Bream not a monster by their standards but still a tidy catch. Finished up with one Guilthead and two bass, happy days!

Saw a few tuna but left them for another day:-)
 
Kev - that is one great fish mate - all the Cod and that awesome Tuna take nothing away from the GiltHead - also one of my target fish if I am lucky. Nice one!
