Hi, I'm just getting back into the water after a long period of all work and no play! Pleased to have found this very useful site. I've never spear fished before, having only snorkelled for shellfish and watched with frustration as the Bass swim by! Now I'm armed, hopefully that'll change..... Any advice for Conditions and approximate locations to try in West Cornwall greatly appreciated.
 
Hi,

I have only really started this year. i know a couple of half decent places but its just down to trial and error as far as i am aware.

I live in west cornweall so if you ever fancy getting together give me a shout.

Cheers, I don't want my first catch to be a fellow diver though, so I'll make sure I'm fully competent & safe with the gun before I take you up on the offer!
I used to see a fair bit of life in and around Prussia cove so I might give that a go first- as soon as (if...) the summer gales abate!
 
Derfl, Prussia Cove is a great little spot to spear, Bass and Mullet on the reefs that run out from the shore and flatfish out on the sand, just a bit of a pain walking up and down with your kit on.:crutch:):)

The car park gets rammed as well! It's always worth emerging on the beach there with a couple of large spider crabs just to see how many children and adults there on holiday refuse to go back in the sea for fear of crab attack!
