Hey guys!

I was just interested to see what memorable experiences people have had this year and what their targets are for next year!

Personally, my highlights include:

1) Hitting both my targets set this time last year of a 10lb pollock and a 6lb bass.
2) Being liberated with a kayak and discovering some ridiculously emotive scenery
3) Winning a FOM

2011 targets:

1) A Welsh double figure bass
2) Find a spot less than three hours from where I live!

Happy New Year to all! Hope everyone had a good night.

Dave
 
Nice one Daffyd. Are you planning to move house in 2011? ;)

For me highlights have been plenty, including collecting scallops this time last year, diving off the yak in June with water so clear i could see the bottom detail in 8m of water, doing the Aida ** course at Vobster (so much fun that i'm planing a return trip this year :) ) and some slightly 'offshore' dives from the yak.

For 2011, i hope to freedive the Schole bank (on the way to Alderney from Guernsey) and ideally finding a turbot at the same time :), and hopefully learning to relax more when diving deeper, which i'm not very good at yet.
 
Hah no Jonny, just hopefully starting a new degree at Uni!

Failing that if I don't get in, buying a house+boat in Pembrokeshire - just got to let the girlfriend know now.
 
Considering I've managed to get to the sea maybe 3 times this year, 2010 Highlights were:

1) Discovering the joys of a kayak - such a good buy!

2) Bashing my first mullet - damn tasty!

3) Finding epic little beaches that no-one else can get to and having them all to myself

2011 Goals

1) 5lb+ Bass (had this goal last year :D)

2) Dive a little bit deeper

3) Get to the coast more often!!!
