did anyone go this weekend? This is possibly the most amazing idea man has come up with http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Polaris-F...002?pt=UK_CPV_Aviation_SM&hash=item2591ab8132 would be great for nipping around the llyn and anglesey . You could fish half a dozen spots 20 miles away from each other in a day!
Ha ha ha! I literally bust out laughing when I clicked the link - it must have taken a very special type of genius to come up with that! I can't help but look at it and just think "death trap".
Yeah I reckon you would be lucky to survive a full season fishing the llyn in it ! absolutely nuts
What could possibly go wrong, flying around in a dingy with spears, knives and half a ton of lead?
THAT....IS....INCREDIBLE!!!
Knowing that this piece of ingenuity exists, I would feel limited even if I bought a boat. You could literally nip on over to the opposite coast if fishing is slow.
because im bored at work ! some more info ! http://www.flyingboatinfo.com/used/used.htm
top speed 55mph ! range of 80miles, landing and taking off possible in force 4 !? If I win the lottery im having one.
great for scoping out new reefs too !

Well I took the short 7.5hr round trip Sunday..... Messed up my times (slept in a little) and arrived at high so ended up diving on the falling tide. South llyn. Vis kept changing, went from 5m to 2m to 7m as a swell pushed through. 1 silver seen and that was about it!!!!! Few pollock about but too small. Counted 7 different jellyfish lol Left scratching my head as I was at my favourite bass mark where I have caught on all tides. O well
Im staying in Aberdaron for a week from the 26th. Can anyone recommend any good snorkelling nearby? Only hunting with a camera, so dont necessarily need big fish - just lots of life. I can return the favour for anyone heading to my neck of the woods (Gower)
Went out last Saturday with a friend, South of the Llyn. Saw loads of schoolie bass during the morning high, saw a few bigger fish but could not get on them quick enough. Vis was around 4 - 5m
Missed the first shot and tuned my RA tri-cut spear into a blunt tip on a rock, ouch! Gave it the file treatment and dived again later in the day, vis dropped to 2m but managed a pollock and a bass and my mate a nice 4.3lb mullet.
Found a couple of spider crabs and a good size lobster. So all in not to bad but learned a lot. The weather is looking rather inviting tomorrow so will do the 5 and half hour round trip again

Yep, saw them yesterday as went down Pwll Du to check it out. Not sure if they got stuck up on the rocks after a particularly high tide, or they were caught in nets and then thrown away. The paper is reporting the latter. Not a pretty sight either way.

Thanks Jeff, I would say most probable the latter unless there is any other suggestions....such a waste!! not to mention the quantity of what they also catch and retain!!!
Thanks I'll have a look. Anywhere else along that coast?
As for Pwll du I was snorkelling off the point on Saturday and didn't see any on the rocks there - but didn't go into the beach. There's been a lot of emails flying around - I think the consensus is bycatch. Nothing else makes sense really.
Just thought id share a couple of mods ive made to my kit recently while not being able to get out fishing. The first is a shot line of sorts , comprising of a scuba reel and meter of chain and a dinky 0.7kg folding anchor. Im hoping this will be usefull when I find a reef or wreck to mark it quickly and accurately and then can think about how to anchor up in relation to it . Also im hoping in moderate current it will hold fast if I want to grab on and take a rest from finning when resting on the surface between dives . May even add a few flashers on the bottom few meters of line . Has anyone tried this in uk?
Another idea is when your alpha flag goes floppy and curls up , I threaded some thin galvanised wire on upper and lower parts and now its actually staying visible .
Some shoulder straps for my shore dive float , dynemma with pvc tube on outside.
