Ireland Spearing 2012

Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 60 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.

That's what couriers are charging for international chipping I am afraid. Try if someone wants to buy something from scuba store and share the cost of shipping.
Ps. I have no experience with mares guns.
 
Was looking at the forecast for the weekend. I know a few scubies are heading out on Sat and was in two minds to go with them Bit of swell on sat and a fair bit of wind. Might be better with you guys down south. Have committed to going on the piss Friday night as well so might have to leave to sunday.
 

Baldy,

I might say that´s a Greater forkbeard (Phycis blennoides - latin), a fish that usually lives in caves, wrecks etc, so sharing in theory the same areas with ling. I usually see them when guttering congers. Not sure but that´s at least it´s my guest from the picture.

More info:
Phycis blennoides, Greater forkbeard : fisheries

As soon as you report that the water start to warm up, even if 1oC more there in south....let me know .............

Says the man with the 8.5mm suit

Sat has a neap low at about 14:48 so for anyone travelling down its probably best to head out at about 1pm and fish the drop, and then on the drop maybe head to that spot sunfish got the plaice and we shot the cod.

Pedro that is a ling but the fish from it's stomach is a whiting I'm pretty sure.
I havnt spoken to my bro yet Derek but I'm sure he was there with bells on before it was even reported!!

I heard rumours of a trip to Roches point. I might tag along if that goes ahead. Otherwise I might just see locally if there is a bit of viz / bass

Anything exciting going on west?
 
I'll head for bass out west. A little birdie told me a story yesterday.
All depends on if there is a wreck dive on, in which case I'll be going out to test my new toys I've been putting together the last 4 months.

Well... The man with the 8.5mm suit is going this Saturday to dive in a lake...it was nice actually two weeks ago or so, the 8.5mm worked really well in a 6oC water temperature

Can you actually sink wearing something like this or you just lying on the surface pretending a brave diver

I have a 7ml for winter and with enough weight I can sink just fine. The only thing is that deeper than 10 metres it gets a bit tricky to swim back up again.:head

You can always leave your 8mm wetsuit on the bottom and then come back to the surface :duh
 
Hi to all
Back again for the new year.
I wish we will get some weather this year.

@chealy: have the Cressi ger. elite at 85cm
Tried it last year and I am very happy. Had always Cressi anyway. The gun moves fast enough in the water and is strong too
Got a second band and thicker spear to try a different setup this year.
Reel comes handy for pollock.
@zaratustra: get your ass in gear we have to get out before I become a father!!!! Ha ha ha

Nik
 
Haha. Being a father ain't stopping me. Foot is firmly down.
Weather is good Saturday!! Not sure the viz will be great tho:-(
 

I am afraid we don't have much time left my man
 
U sure? It's gonna be a gentle roll with that light westerly. All systems go I say!!
