Hi,

OK, like a complete numpty, I managed to put my thumb through my suit this evening while rushing to put it on...the hole is big enough for my finger to have gone through, and is situated on the chest just below the loading pad.

Is the best way to mend it just with some Black Witch, or does anyone know any better solutions (e.g. perhaps by the addition of a neoprene patch on the inside too?). Any guidance greatly appreciated... ;-)

Thanks

Lulworth Cove up to 6m but in some places 0m. Eastwards from LC up to 8m. Swanage bay up to 5m. From Old Harry's Rock towards Swanage up to 6m.
Me, my son and Hubert have done night session with small inflatable boat from midnight to 5am and second session with speed boat from 2pm to 7pm. Not many fish. Hubert got 1.5kg sole and it was the best catch. We caught several lobsters (night), some Mullets (night), Flounders (night), Mackerels (night), and Pollacks (day). No Bass seen.
The sea was very choppy but vis still OK!

I was in between swanage and Portland a couple of days ago with Cesar and Scott. Vis was a few meters and a little milky. Very choppy though. Did you see Paul m's post mate.

The west side of Portland probably would be written off due to the winds. When you looking at heading out?

Looking at going in this evening, camping overnight and going in again in the morning
 
Ah right ok.
Guys I'm looking at heading in tonight between sandbanks and boscombe but can't make up my mind. Any one got any advice. Looks lovely and flat along the coast and vis seems ok from the shore.

Try Paul at Bodyline Westuits in Newquay (check on google for their contact bits) - Managed ot slip while loading in my old suit last year and the longline clip tore a bl00dy great gash - he put in a new chest piece and double it up for loading all for £30 - very reasonable.

Good luck
 
Took my mask for a run-in yesterday arvo to a spot sheltered from the west wind, viz was fair at 3-4m average but better and worse in places. Seemed to be alot more life than last time I went in about 5 weeks ago, loads of bait about and seen a few fish too. Nothing major but had a mixed bag to feed us for the week. No bass big enough to take were seen though.

You need to use genuine Black Witch, use tape inside suit and glue a border around all of the tear and allow to completely dry. You then use some more tape and black witch and bring the tear together to bond Black Witch to Black Witch. That is normally very strong.

iv only ever did snorkeling when in greece as i have a lot off family that live over their did a bit off spear fishing with them and also I'm from scotland so don't have much off a clue tbh so a bit off everything tbh thanks
 
Any one local to poole can give me a viz report on Friday for sandbanks to boscombe please, I have a couple of hours free fri eve and I can get there without getting involved in traffic for the great dorset gypsy gang bang, failing that if there is viz on the east purbecks I may chance the journey.
 
I imagine it will be the same as Swanage to the chain ferry at sandbanks oxtail soup, so no vis. If you do jump in, at least you will have Bournemouth Air Festival. I was out last night & it was murk.

Winds supposed to drop for a few days from tomorrow evening so I reckon in a few days it'll be fish able.
