It was an awesome weekend thanks Martyn and Sarah, glad to finally meet everyone and hope to dive with some of you again soon

Thanks Martyn and Sarah, top weekend once again! See you next time!

While I have a few peoples attention...... If we have a competition next year, would you prefer a spring tide or a neap tide?

Thanks Martyn for another great Guernsey "fish in" , thanks also to Sarah , Jo, Lorne and the two Andys, as well as all the spearos who helped make this another very special weekend

I'm happy with either to be honest.

I personally prefer fishing a spring tide Mart.

A few guys asked me to set a date as soon as possible so they can get a better deal on accommodation, so the more input we can get the sooner I can set a date

 

[Spirit]

I am sure that I will catch the same number of fish at any state of tide.

 

[jerseydan]

I quite like the bigger tides Martyn, it means low is a bit later, more time for Tom and Paul to sober up!!

The 11 - 12tth of August 2018 offer huge tides! http://tides.digimap.gg/?year=2018&yearDay=223&reqDepth=130

Spring works for me, I might even see a fish in the comp which would be a first, not counting mullet of course [emoji23][emoji23]

I have to consider the low tide times as well as the size, low tide at 3pm means the comp would not finish until 5 or 6pm & that makes things a bit anti social for the evenings.
Low tide at mid day is ideal in that respect but spring tides tend to be later...
I would rather have input from you guys than make all the decision.... I will study the tides & offer a few options.

Hi Mart, had a quick look at Gnsy 2018 tides...looks like only two August weekends offer low tides around mid day ish...the big spring tides on 12th or slightly smaller spring tides on 26th...I prefer moderate springs but I will dive anything

I agree Mike 0.7 is huge especially if there is a bit of wind or swell!

 

[Pierre Joubert]

I'd say neap tides offer a bit more stability, plus fish seem to stay around longer in the shallows. Saw my 1st turbot at Grand Rocque. Super happy about it!!

How big was the turbo?

How big was the turbo?

Was the size of a champagne try? Loving the new gun. Got my 1st trigger, was a long shot.

Did it bite you?
