I'm just back from east devon. Viz 2m very murky and interesting dive with out going esturary!! Wouldn't recommend but probably my last dive for 10 Days or so, had to get in. Lots of weed and hard to see unless you were right on top of a fish. Came out with 4 bass nothing of real size, 3 flounder and a nice red mullet. Not many bait fish seen, lots of small red mullet though.
Teignmouth and dawlish both looked grim earlier, doubt anything this side will be great. Easterlies forcast all week, I'd head other side of south hams if I had the chance.
Good luck if you get in mate.

I'm getting in later today, somewhere sheltered. I'll let you guys know what it's like tonight.
I had about 2-3m on the west side of the hams, pretty cloudy. Completely out of practise! Missed a lot... doh!

Well, its a bit murky out of Plymouth this evening, probably about 2m max. I only saw a school of small bass and that's it.
The water was warm though, and calm.
The worst part of the day however, was having to go shopping on the way home. Sat in the car with the windows up, the smell was a bit "fruity" after a couple hours in the water.
So there I was, in Waitrose, stood in the queue, absolutely reeking of piss and wetsuits, with the attendant and about four other people sniffing, looking around and wondering where the stench was coming from.

Get a pissette fitted. I had one with my last suit included in it when i ordered it. No more smelling like a public urinal ever time you get out of the water.
Easterlies and apparently rumours of dredging in Southampton having an affect with the viz, anybody heard anything?
Louis Sheid is an easy find, easy dive and quite safe if you're happy to swim around it. Have heard it described as a good starter wreck as is so easy to get to, is only in about 8 meters of water and provides enough to look around for interest. Search for it on you Tube to check it out or better still, get in and see it first hand!!
