LOL, might as well have done as i got stuck behind a GB plate and an 'H' enjoying every slow inch by inch of the roads...
Stevie, cracking fish there! well done!
Colin have you been in much?
I wouldnt mind if there had been some decent fish around lol.
Went down to Bordeaux this morning to catch the falling tide. in for two and a half hours having fun paddling north uptide then trawling down through the rapids - i recon about 4 knots at times!
covered quite a lot of ground and saw loads of large rockies - some real clonkers out there.
Not to everyone's taste but pretty amazing fish http://forums.deeperblue.com/spearo-board/87854-massive-tuna-capture.html#post820529

4. No method of capture must break any laws currently enacted in the country where it was made.
Entry
1. You must have posted a report of your catch including details of its weight and with a clear photograph, on the DeeperBlue forums.

Result

Staff decisions on all matters relating to the FOM are absolute and final.
*** GOOD LUCK ***
Not me but I did just crawl out of Port Grat.
Viz was sh1te, looked nice at lunch but was not even end of gun in the shallows and no more than 2m out deeper, no matter how many lumens I pumped into it
Saw a massive ormer sat on a rock, did a hand measure and it was around 130mm, and a topknot on another rock and lots of tiny flatties but that was it before I gave up.

Pity about the vis Tom.
At 130mm that was one huge ormer!
At least you gave it a go and did manage to spot a couple of unusual things...I can't recall seeing ormers or topknots other than under the boulders when ormering.Just shows that night diving can reveal aspects of 'a different undersea world'.

i could have done with reading Tom's comment a couple of hours earlier than i did lol, in last night to find the poor vis and swell pushing through. I tried 2 bays but both were bad.
here's my video effort, it was quite fishy out there, altho i only lasted 10 minutes in each place: those Reds are such head bangers!

I think in so little time and such poor vis you got some excellent footage
Jonny....well done!
It certainly looks like it's very fishy at the moment.
