The sea is a dirty brown at Southbourne. I'm staying on shore whilst this weather is so unsettled.
My thoughts go out to the family of the woman who died at Tilly Whim yesterday.

I haven't dived there yet, and will only do so when the sea is very settled.

Good news guys I have found viz. 
. Around 3.5m +. Was shocked when I got in. Also I think I got the tides wrong for tonight as when I turned up at my chosen spot it was low tide was sure it was high tide was at 00:09. Anyway swam around for an hour not seeing anything due to it being low tide so thought couldn't be bothered to wait for mother nature so I got out. Then when driving home half a mile down the road it was clearly high tide. :-S. Couldn't get my little brain around how my spot was so low yet half a mile down the road was clearly high. Hmmmm. I was cold by now having got out of the water so decided to get to my bed. Thinking about going out again this week sometime. Tuesday or Wednesday hope this wind stays as it is .

It's not the best at the moment. I have been hunting viz more than I've been hunting fish lately. If you do end up going 2m viz is the most you are going to be able to get. Portland harbour looked brown yesterday when I looked and was a little choppy with the easterly winds. Same as Weymouth bay. Easterly winds come straight in there and it didn't look fish able yesterday

Hi all sorry I've been quite this year, but I just haven't been diving as much as I should have been. Anyway here's a few fish I caught yesterday. The bass went 5.5lb, the pollack 1.5lb and 2.25lb and the squid 3.2lb without a head. The water temp was 13°C and the vis up to 4m.
Nice catch, i need to get over 5lbs? i was close earlier this year though.
I was going to ask if it was a night dive. Cesar was on about going out last night, but I couldn't make it. I will have to get out sometime soon though.
It's a
Good luck
You'll get there buddy, now is the time of year when the bigguns come out aswel so just keep at it. I think once you've had one you seem to see and shoot them quite frequently.
Good luck
