Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 90 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
To the jersey guys, one of your anglers had a meeting with a 3ft stingray in waist deep water yesterday, have you seen much of them down the SE corner? I think I recall reading they turn up fairly frequently.
 
Went Snorkelling last night with a mate, 2 push bike lights each covered in cling film and tape strapped to goggles, saw A large Sole and 3 Rays in the space of half a hour or so, was first time night snorkelling and will defo do it again!

Hi swimwiththem, Alderney is renowned for it great fishing but I think you are the first guy to report on a night dive!
You can buy some really cheap waterproof LED torches & you can get yourself a basic gun here in Guernsey (in fact I probably have something lurking in my shed).
Let me know hen you next come over...
 
I don't know why I went snorkelling today, I woke up today and looked out my window, thinking ahh too windy today, I wont bother, but got my speargun from Alderney today and just had to go out and use it, saw nothing, shot nothing, pointless trip, but at the end of the day was in the water, thats all that counts..
 
Well I guess we will call you SWT for the time being!
At least you are enthusiastic mate!
We will have to meet up some time but, I have a very busy weekend & the weather is forecast v bad anyhow...
So how come you share the islands?
 
Well Im from Alderney, my parents live there and so does most of the people I know, I am in Guernsey for college studying media (I like Photography) and live here with a host family during term times, then go back home for holidays and half terms... :)

Im annoyed about the weather, I dont mind rain at all, its often nice when it rains, just the wind annoys me. Cant wait for the wind to die down and to get some good viz and lots of fish! :)

Going to be doing any underwater photography Jake?

Ah missed that one Mart, how far out were they? Got to say I'd need a new suit if I saw one of them while in the water!
