It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
Just a few quid mate!
If you want to be trendy then a 3D suit is really cool but black will still keep you warm & catch you fish! Most guys go for camo though..
 
hey guys hav'nt posted for ages went for a quick dive on friday with jason not much to report of no fish seen but i have finaly got my go pro mounted on to my gun now and hopefully will be posting videos in the future , vis was pretty poor on friday but was good to get out and test out the camera and suit. look out for videos
 
I live to close to the 8c sea, we have a bit of snow, the guys inland & in the higher parts have plenty though!
In fact it is not even freezing at 1c on my thermometer having said that it is not very pleasant out there!!!

Hahaha..
Exactly Mart.
I am from old school and I am not anxious to be trendy.
I use both black and camo. No difference at all.

Here again winter is coming back,-3C and damn sleet.

ditto! I just have camo cos I think it looks cool! I don't really think it makes a jot of difference but people are entitled to convince themselves it does! ;)

I've seen (missed the opportunity to shoot) most of my biggest fish whilst fumbling around with gear and/or making a right commotion splashing or bashing rocks around looking underneath for creepy crawlies. :head not so often 'pretending' to be hidden, burried in kelp, camo suit or not from fish that can in all likelyhood hear/feel your heartbeat and your muscles twitching :-)........just my opinion mind. :confused:


anyway back on topic!!! ....how many sleeps left until fishin??
 
in for an hour this afternoon; i stayed in the super shallows and got pushed around in the small swell and almost zero vis, loads of mullet and a few bass around 5lb seen. took one mullet for dinner :)

westcoater thanks, i'll pm you my mobile number, i work from home so usually free... otherwise how about Saturday afternoon sometime?
 
:wave Hello all. Eric Haury again here. (aka this guy: http://forums.deeperblue.com/uk-ire...er-about-mermaids-not-mermaid-who-writes.html) :o

Should have written sooner :o, but so busy :head.

So. Have any of you tried to catch a cuttlefish? Best of all would be to catch with a net or sack rather than spear, but spearing information could help. How quickly do they spook? There a strategy that works? Anything I should know what typically happens when you try to catch them?


PS Writing to you from New Orleans now. So just think, a couple centuries ago, (moat of) your ancestors and the residents here would have been able to converse, well enough I'd imagine, with different varieties of French.
 
Hi Eric, cuttle fish very often lie (hide - rest?) in the sand, partly covered normally, with just a few indications of them being visible!
I think you could catch them in a net & yes of course they will eject large amounts of ink!
