Had an early one at 6:30am today with nobby and Tom. Torches out and off we all went flatly hunting. No flatties seen. So decided to move off the sand, It was dark and I decided to swim under a large concrete structure in just a few feet of water, then the torch caught a large silver fish, which at first guessed it was a bass. I swam closer to the fish with my torch directly on it, then took a shot just 2 ft from the fish in just 2 ft of water; a nice mullet of well over 4lb. So they're still out there guys!

Rubbish, I don't believe it and I was there. Lee brought that mullet out with him and stuck it on the end of his spear and then held it up. It had clearly been dead a long time. It was even gutted and I could clearly see slices of lemon and fennel sticking out of the cavity. Oldest trick in the book :naughty


I was in the water just over two hours from 06.30 - 08.45 and didn't see a single fish. No actually that's not strictly true - I did see a couple of small pollack, 2 prawns, and a dead dogfish being eaten by crabs. Didn't see any flounder, which surprised me a little as we were in a spot where I took lots of flounders in October and November. Ah well, there's always next time...

Just ate it Tom. Bird eye chillies, chorizo, cubed pork belly and mullet, added onions garlic, salt and pepper, some rice and a touch of turmeric and ginger. Stuffed now mate.

I've pretty much decided to go all year round too. I'll give you guys a call in a few days.

Nice one lee. We went out earlier around castle cove looking for flatties, unfortunately saw nothing but crabs.

That's a shame mate, very surprised that none of us saw any flatfish?? The mullet was the only fish I saw bar a few small pollack and the usual wrasse.

Give us a shout mate if you want tag along on some ice dives.

I second that, it's always good to meet other spearos and have more potential dive buddies. Particularly when mine is hogging all the bloody mullet. ;)

Anybody have any clues about why we haven't been seeing any flatties? I was under the impression that winter was the best time for flatfish, but I haven't seen any since mid November.
