Yes no problem I can do that.

You are a gentleman Simon.

Checked the vis from Bournemouth Pier this morning. From the surface it looked about .5 to .75m - the water has cleared a little over the last few days. It maybe better nearer the bottom.

Hopefully the vis will improve for the weekend.

Ok thanks for doing that. Planned to go Sunday purbeck way so fingers crossed. Swanage webcam looked fair early this morning

 

[Kuya]

The sea is very calm and flat at Southbourne this evening. Not sure what the vis is like but I think it would be worth a try over the weekend.

 

[Pointandhope]

Me and a buddy are off Sunday am and expect some kind of viz somewhere. Good luck to you if you venture in.

Got in at Bournemouth over low water this morning. Vis very poor! Brushed up against a large barrel jellyfish without seeing it first.

Fished low up to high on a purbeck mark today, viz modest but patchy from 0-3m. Very quiet all round. Hoards of wrasse about. Came away with 1 fair mullet for 3 shots.

Me and my buddy, Peter, went to Old Harry's Rocks from Swanage using small inflatable boat. Vis was very poor - 0.5 up to 2m! Peter got one decent Mullet but he's lost his gun. I saw only some small Pollocks and Wrasse. Water nice warm - 15 degrees. Let's hope next weekend would be better.

Aah wondered who it was at old Harry. Was rod and line fishing as the vis looked so bad!

I saw lots of fishing boats around but none fish caught by rod. Were you successful?

 

[kkdavids]

Nah nothing unfortunately , the only thing caught was the sun! (Bit too much)!

VIZ REPORT. Weymouth/Portland area.

As you can guess with the wind today and a little breeze yesterday the water has turned brown again was hoping to get out this evening for a little dip but looks like it's too brown

I checked all the local spots round Weymouth and they are all blown out even the sheltered spots. .

Hey. I just started back after not using a gun since i was a kid. Had good sport last yea but would like to get out with some folk. Anyone up for it?

 

[21raven21]

Not with the viz like it is as the moment . Rubbish everywhere.

 

[Kuya]

Was thinking about heading Portland way soon, but given your report I'll wait on.

 

[21raven21]

I work over there on a daily basis but at the moment I'm working in chard but got back early today and drove around looking at possible dive spots for this evening. But it's horrible everywhere.
