Hahaha cheers buddyBetter, i have a periscope fitted now!! Left a couple of dustbin lid size flatties for you.
Inspired from my trip to Venturesports this morning to collect my FOY Trophy and prize (Beuchat Guardian Float) I decided on a shore dive even if it was a bitter cold day. This was the time to try out my new PoloSub MTM suit i purchased at the end of last season.
From the car park i could see the dark shape of the reef stretching out to sea,a good sign of some viz. I got the strange looks we all get for getting changed in a car park on a bitter cold chilly day. Today i seemed to get more than normal then remembered i have a pissette fitted on my new suit. A fantastic bit of kit once you get used to using it. Must cover it up next time though when i enter and exit the water!!
The water was cold but i only felt it on the face to start with and soon got over that. Viz was good,probably 3 to 4m even better at depths.
I was only in looking for flatties today and didnt even try for anything else. Flatfish seem a good bet for this time of year.
The first flattie i found was a plaice,no monster but good eating size. The next dive down i come across a ray 6lb 2oz, again no monster but good eating so on the stringer he went. Another hour searching with nothing seen was enough for my first shore dive of the season.
I was well happy with the new suit in the cold conditions. The only thing that got cold today was my hands and that was down to old gloves.
Thanks mate
