Just back from a week in Brittany seeing some of the wife's family and eating far too much cheese.
I can confirm that it's all murked to buggery over there as well despite being lovely and settled.

went for my first dive last Sunday as was dead keen to get back in and also work out what kits knackered. Turns out all my kits good except my lungs which at the moment appear to be akin in volume to that of a small school girl. Viz was a whopping 1m (I could just see the end of my spear tip. Found a few small lobsters but didn't take any and fingered a few wrasse (always in the way).
My feedback is the most sheltered spots on the west coast will be fishable (fish cant see you, you cant see them until last minute)
but.......... its just not a lot of fun. Interestingly there was a lot of sediment (couple of mm) covering the rocks I was looking under which I've never come across, all the seaweeds gone (most of it) as you would expect for spring, but the silts a new one. I think it got so stirred up both inshore and off, that the murkiness is uniform inshore and off.
Its going to take a while to clear up isn't it
on the upside I found my first st Georges of the season Mart & TJ

went for another dive yesterday, awful viz about 1 m past the spear tip, no silver seen. All set to swim in when I noticed a boulder with a pile of crushed shells and dark sand piled up next to it. 30 min of cat and mouse and I have a nice lobster in hand. Had a mooch and found 2 more keepers in the next 30 min. Strange as the spot I went to is a bass spot and ive never seen a lobster there, im thinking due to being so early in the year no ones potting. silt on the sea bed is going to be a problem this year, it gets stirred up so easily
My favourite St Georges spot has had a "nature path" dug straight through it, complete with natural membrane and natural treated woodchip
The silt was exactly the problem 5 or so years ago after a rough winter. Never did properly clear as takes ages to settle and the slightest blow puts you right back to square one.
