Hi All,
Been very quiet on the Spearfishing front due to work and family commitments; I am looking at going more this year!
Does anyone have any temp. reports for Dorset area at all please?
Cheers
Ryan

Due to a new baby, this was my second dive of 2015, back in feb I had my first double of the year (posted in 2014 thread) so decided. To go last night after work.

Chesil vis was 4m but getting worse due to increasing wind from the SW. Plenty of bass about again, best for me was 9lb 2oz and just under 5lb.

Whether it rolls out in full effect is yet to be seen, but I don't think it will impact greatly for the average spearo. 3 bass per outing is probably more than most average guys bag anyway, would be a shame to have a red letter day and end prematurely. It may well hit the charter boats hard, as I'm not sure how many anglers would pay £70-£100 for a days bassing and only take 3. What sort of enforcement, if any,could there be for the inshore gill netters, or is it only aimed at anglers?
 
Hey guys I am coming down to Poole next week thinking of chucking the spearing gear in the car can anybody give me any pointers on where I should target day or night, best tides etc don't worry I don't want to know your secret spots just somewhere I might be able to have a dive with the chance of a fish if I get a pass from the boss.
 
Took the drive down to purbeckshire yesterday eve, after a long hike down the cliffs the viz was pretty awesome up to 7-8m in places, decreasing when the ebb really kicked in. We saw a few mullet, a few bass and the ubiquitous pollock and wrasse. Some shocking shooting took place, but nice to be in. It was pleasant for about an hour, then it was bloody freezing.
