Ireland Spearing 2012

Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 90 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
Myself and Neal were in today vis about 6-8m max surprisingly as there was a big swell here on Mon/Tues only a couple of reasonable sized pollock but were easy spooked. We just missed the massive pollock and 2ft lobster that we left so we have no photos of them.

It´s great to see you again in the water Neal! Let´s keep up the great form and consistency now for the great days that we will have ahead :) Nice pics Feargus. Should you start thinking about the spearos meeting in Mullagmore this year again? If you have the opportunity to invite Prannie to give us some tips about edible seaweed we will pay in fidh :) (if we got any....)
 

Ha ha haaa... That will teach those inquisitive amberjacks - come and take a look at those awkward-looking scuba divers at your own peril, because they might be packing steel.

I've always thought those videos in UAE/Florida/etcwhere guys shoot AJs and other pelagics on scuba look a bit silly. It must be tough trying to deal with a pissed-off fish, with a tank, BCD, reel gun and sea scooter...
 
I reckon Cork is the place for cocaine, sure they had tonnes of it washed up a few years back and the half of it wasn't declared. Prob a few bales between Rob and Johnny.

Thats why we fish so well... we spotted a bail and head for it every dive... the bass, pollock and lobsters are high and hanging around it and we just scoop em up :) :)
 
Hi Guys, I'm going for scallops this weekend. Could anybody share some good scallops places around Galway or Sligo?
You seriously expect an answer? This is your first post... no introduction, no preamble just straight for the info?

Gaz, whoever you are you are really welcome and if you are ever in Cork we'll take you out to a few spots. Once we've gotten to know you a bit then we may take you to our nearly top spots ;)

Think of the DB forum as a pool, where you can only take out what you put in :)

Have you been diving long? Scallop diving can be deep and dangerous?
