This vid is pretty good too, lots of dead fish but the revenge of the shark & grouper scenes are great Frayeur lors d'une chasse sous-marine

Wow...spearfish heaven..apart from the grouper-brutes and sharks! Looked like the grouper got his hand good and firm! Awesome video, though have soft spot for the sailfish - I'd have left them alone.

Hey all, a little trip report for you.
I went out today for 2 hours in chouet bay at low tide, first around the car park side, then the middle small rock and then the big reef in the middle of the bay. i saw nothing around the tower side of the bay so moved into the small rock that sticks out and the bootlace weed that surrounds it and saw some of the most beautiful rockies that i have ever seen, some well bigger then 5-6lb easy with the most stunning patterns i have seen to date. after i moved around this rock/weed patch a few times i moved onto the reef in the middle of the bay. It was the same story, lots of biggish wrasse and a few smaller ones, at one point i saw a few copper coloured fish with big eyes (i assumed they were baby pollock) and the next thing there was about 75 of them flowing with the tide. First shoal as such i had seen. after swimming through, over and around the bootlace and kelp and seeing not a slight hint of any silver (not even a pollock lol) (good things come to those who wait i guess) i returned to shore to join my fiancee and little girl. I do have two notes to make, number one --> to the 2 people with pots down there the spider pots are full to the brim but the lobster pots dont have a great deal in, maybe one keeper. Number 2 --> when i got to the beach my mrs too me to a spot that had about 4 small chancres and a large spider all dead, i did manage to find one alive crab and return it to the sea from the beach. The sand was also littered with plaice heads and bones and the same with brill, both species would of been roughly 1.5lb when alive i would estimate. cheers guys....

Hi guys, I havn't posted anything since I joined the forums in March, so I'm going to start now!
I had a good session at Vason today. Not long after entering the water I caught a good 4 1/4lbs bass which was swimming along the sea bed and seemed totally undetered by me hiding in the weed. I got a good old bullseye on it, through one eye and out the other! Didn't see much else, couple of wrasse and small pollock. Ricko, I saw similar sized wrasse at Cobo. They look great!
Yesterdy, I went to Cobo and caught a respectable sized bass (big enough for three) near the end of my session. Whilst making my way in I spoted a larger bass which I shot in the cheek. Luckily for the fish my spear didn't penetrate all the way through and it riggled off before I could say Jack Robinson! Also worth noting was a large lobster with mighty claws which was hiding under the rocks! I didn't have the means to catch the fellow nor any where to put him so I left him be. Any tips on catching these? I'm planning on making a lasso atm! :t
I have attached a couple of pictures of the fish, including a smaller bass, which I caught chilling out in the weed at Perrelle a week or so ago.
Good Hunting!

I wanna shoot some bass :-( lol. Would of been better with the camera rather then the gun today.
Hi Ricko
Good tip - don't go! Grandes Rocques seems like a pretty bad idea for Tuesday going by the forecast, link below. Theres gonna be a big swell and a force 7 from the south west so I suspect the visibility will be very bad.

I'd say try somewhere more protected on the east coast. I havn't been around that side too much so can't really recommend a spot. I've seen mullet in Havelet bay a couple of weeks ago, but it was a sunny day.

Couldn't say for sure but Vazon or Grande Rocque... look at the two masks. the green one was Derek's. What about the gun, not much changed really, thin bands & long wire wishbones... Derek never used a gun for about ten years until he found one in the sea!
