Happy new year jks. You did well to get in. Ive been down to check vis a couple of times, but its been pretty poor. Hoping to try at the weekend...
Im really hoping to do some regular boat dives this year, so looking for a buddy with both speao and boat experience...

 

[foxfish]

Well that wont be Magpie then, now if Ed came out of retirement he would be ideal!

 

[Magpie]

Why not me? Eh? I have loads of boat experience.....ok so its usually pretty brief :yack but thats not my fault, its discrimination, that's what it is, you're all seasickist rofl

I certainly won't be in till the spring.

was a bit chilly yesterday, need new gloves as mine are pretty holy.
Not much around until i got to my 'guaranteed' mullet spot - it was was to wall fish and quite amazing to experience - bass and mullet together going around me in circles. i managed to miss two shots lol.
nice to get in after ages out.
vis was ok, could see the bottom topo in 6m.

 

[Yeti]

Thats the vis i remember! like flying when the water is like glass!

 

[bobdonny]

Nice one Jonny, inspiring me to dip my toes when the water clears!

Looks lovely - our vis is going between stunningly clear and about 1 ft any time even a small swell kicks up.
Must have been nice to see fish - I doubt their tartan cousins will be around in any numbers at all for a good while though :-(
