Visibility super clear at runswick bay today went at high tide spent the majority of time over the covered rocks on the left of the bay loads of crabs proper well worth the trip out

Anyone know what the viz is like off the north east coast at the moment (like Runswick or otherwise) as I quite fancy going in on Monday 1st Sep for a dive.

Ace. Cheers Charlie. May take a look and get wet.

i went out yesterday and it was about 7-9m

Good call Charlie. There's no vis, or very much really, locally so 7-9 m @ Runswick made the 4 and a bit hour drive seem worth it. Just home now - what a day.
We had an epic swim out to the offshore reef and as always the lobster holes were occupied. Lots of lobster had eggs and I guess between the two of us we must have caught around 50 and almost half were returned as berried or breeding females.
Apologies Yeti - couldn't wait til you got back but the good news is we only did the first reef and neve

r went to the outer two. Twas a bit windy to go out much further 'safely' without the yak or boat.
Next week maybe? The bar is now set at 26 day caught [emoji12]

Blimey that is some haul. Great effort, you are not going to go hungry.

I was of the understanding that the NEIFCA limit was 2 lobsters in any 24hr period around the north east

 

[grantl]

Correct indeed. The NEIFCA jurisdiction applies from around the Humber to just over the Tyne up to the 6 mile limit. Fortunately these lobster weren't caught under a recreational licence within that area.
