Dorset Spearfishing 2013

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.
I have been out and about over the bank holiday and cannot believe the damage done to the coastline. I guess a combination of the high tides/bad weather and the crazy amount of rain. Lots of landslides and on one beach that used to be totally pebbly its now sand.
 
Had a 4 hour dive with lee last night somewhere on the jurassic coast! viz 1-3 m within a couple of minutes came across 2 bass, got a shot off and just missed the bigger of the two, then seen lots of extremely skittish small mullet which kept me amused for a bit, onwards to another section and i had a distinct fishy gut feeling working the area I came across a mammoth bass this thing was a monster and a definite double!! started to follow and with the patchy viz I was forced to get a shot off and missed!!!!! Will be revisiting the mark again shortly!
 
Alan and I took a chance on a new spot last night, good old hike, but some nice fish seen.

As Alan said; he missed a nice double figure bass....I heard a 'boom' then a massive really deep thick bass came hurtling towards me! I estimate tbe fish was 11-12lb; it was huge.

5 minutes later over a reef I was scanning from left to right with the torch beam when suddenly as I looked to my right......There was another slightly smaller bass of 8-9lb almost sat on my shoulder, I pulled back and took a startled panic shot and missed grrrrrr

Anyway, I ended up taking 1 mullet. We cud have taken loads of mullet.....but donkey bass were on the menu.

Oh and we made a special ticket for free overnight camping. :)
