I was in today ( S. Hams ) vis is still good 5-6 metres a few bass about , I have managed to catch a few recently !! Thinking back over this month ( June ) the weather and vis have been great and have enjoyed being in, but the fish have been very few and far between .. If it was not for some good crabs and lobsters it would have been dreadful !! ( I think the night divers are taking them all !! ha ha ) I have not even seen a Mullet yet ! I do not really want too but it is most unusual ...
I've just returned from a quick evening dive near Plymouth. Viz was about 10m ish. No silvers seen at all, just a school of small pollock. Even waiting two minutes in the kelp failed to bring anything in. Although, if anyone wants to break the UK wrasse record on a rod, I know just the place. They were massive!
I only took one edible crab for lunch tomorrow, so I'm not going to go hungry.

Dived Torbay this evening. Few decent bass about but very skittish and all at the end of my breath hold. Managed two aprox 3lb as did my buddy and he head shot two mackerel ! Viz about 3m on the bottom but very milky
Yep, it was that clear, just like an aquarium in certain areas.You sure you weren't in the aquarium10m viz!!!!
South Hams dive tonight, 5+ metera vis, few bass about and took 2. First one caught after seeing it from surface and took a punt on diving down onto it to take a shot, paid off with a head shot. Breath holds not so good today but cracking accuracy of shots. Back to painting the house tomorrow.
Got in yesterday evening around 8pm. Saw my first school of Bass this year, but they were undersize. Saw a few other decent sized ones but didn't have the breath hold to get them in range. Viz a tad milky on top 3-4m but a little further out was around 5-6m.
In hindsight I think I should of got in earlier and fished the area I was seeing bass, I tried to comb the beach as the light went but it was a little early for that and too dark for me for a deeper dive.
Still, I felt happy that I'd seen a bunch of Bass.

I went out in boat today from Teignmouth, and dived between there and Torbay vis was pretty poor considering how calm it is and has been for a while , max 3 metres no fish seen and a few brown crabs taken ... checked out quite a few spots and found scallops ( out of season ) will have to re visit there later in the year ...., not a bad day out ....,but Torbay rarely fails to disappoint !!
....been in the water and rewarded with a decent fish.
