East/South Devon Freedivers/Spearos

[Browner]

Hey, I am new to spearfishing/freediving and for some reason no-one in East Devon seems to be on be easy to get hold off. I am at University of Plymouth so during term time I can dive both East and South Devon. For the rest of the time I live near Sidmouth and would really like to find a group of people who are up for getting in the`water along any of the Jurassic coastline. If you are then please post on this thread, it would be awesome to meet some new people and have a good dive.

Hello all. This is my first post here. I'm looking for some advice or help or anything! Me and a friend have been less than successfully trying to spear fish since July. We have had fourteen dives together and managed to catch plenty of crabs and scallops and even netted a few prawns. It's been a blast but between us, in that time, we've barely managed to find a few fish worth hunting. We're currently swimming out from shore, usually in the torbay area and typically diving in around 5m of water. As far as fish are concerned, we see plenty of small pollack and wrasse around, a few dogfish which we've managed to catch by hand but made sure they go back safe and we see usually see a few bigger wrasse on our dives, which we tend to leave alone. We can exceed 3 minutes in our static breath holds but in practise, we manage probably just under a minute underwater in the sea. We have tried summer dives, winter dives and night dives - not dawn dives as my mate isn't the morning type!

Could someone help us try to find the fish we're looking for? Don't know whether we're fishing too close to shore, fishing too shallow, not staying down long enough or if we're just simply being a pair of bozos!

...Do feel free to point this out if this is the case!
