Good things come to those who wait..... I have not been diving for many years now, mainly due to a medical condition but ... I am halfway through some treatment (UVB light treatment) & it really seems to be working.
So, I have plans...... six more weeks yet but, I will be back in action...

Do you have freshwater streams on Jersey?
I think there aren't so many flounder onguernsey because there's not much fresh running into the sea? I've only seen 1 there and it was maybe half a pound.

29lb of Cod is impressive, rod caught yes? - can't imagine there's many Cod left around the Channel Islands at all now?

netters and rod anglers had a few last year around the 3-5lb mark. U must get a few more up North?

 

[foxfish]

I have one in the hall of fame, 3.2lb I think.
My brother Derek used to hold the British record flounder but I cant remember the weight.
We only catch them in two specific locations.
Guernsey was actually two separate islands separated by a marsh of brackish water. The marsh land was reclaimed 210 years ago but the flounder still return to the marshes previous location which are now St Sampson's harbour & Grand Havre (the right of the Knife).

Well done Mike, that Flounder could be the winning fish...

Spidercrabs are probably the best tasting seafood you can get, superb to eat and synonymous with the arrival of summer, a real privilege to catch some nice ones today, sure the Gnsy boys will land a whopper soon

The Jersey boys extend a big thank you to Jonny, Kerin, and all the Gnsy spearos for continuing to lull us into a false sense of securityView attachment 40733

Well done the Jersey boys (Mike) Keep up the good work!

 

[Jonny250]

Dont forget your cuttlefish too Mike.

 

[Jonny250]

C'mon Guerns tomorrow looks like an excellent forecast to get out and find a fish... there's flatties in the bays now and bass, pollack, mullet, and spiders... time to start getting some catches logged here... any takers?

 

[little sarge]

Will see how work goes J.
