Hi All

Still out in Florida and visited the local dive supermarket today and was thinking of bringing a speargun home. Does anyone one know the state of affairs for transporting such things as the Americans have me near naked everytime i go through customs already; shoes off, belt off etc etc?
 
Hi shiny1 NICE LOBSTER and equaly NICE GUN ive often toyed with the idea of an RA but i seem to be hooked on cressi guns at the mo:).


I dived south hams yesterday with around 4 to 5 meters viz, saw tons of pollack but nothing of eating size. dived the bay today and had 1 to 2 meters tops, only bagged 8 scallops as I gave up the hunt and did some bottom time training. 10 meters with 1 minute breath hold. so getting better.

wind looks like it going to be westerly for a while so hopfully the bay will be divable by Friday.

Lovely Lobster that man, good early season find :)
Hope you enjoyed it.:p
 
A 7lb lobster is a fantastic catch - that is a serouisly big lobster that could easily win the Fom competition? Unfortunatlly you need to make a few more post befor you can enter.
 
Anyone been in in Torbay today?

Hi scott,
Been back for a week. Going diving on friday evening and sat morning. I will be looking for spider crabs near Exeter. See if they have arrived here. Sign of them down there?
Send me a text again with you number mate, i have changed phone and lost it.
 
Ok mate will do. No spiders down here worth taking yet mate but I will keep you posted.
 
Go anyway wins every time
If you dont go and I post a picture of the bass Im going to catch from the bay 2moro YOU ARE GOING TO KICK URSELF
 
2 meters at tops mate with loads of crud BUT that was meadfoot and the current was going towards the beach so I would say babbacombe side should be clearer
 
Dived at 4pm today and saw zero fish,:head due to been 4inchs from the bottom scratching around for scallops getting out to the spot for the scallops was easier than usual due to the wind but I paid for it with the swim back.

Saw a female brown crab with what looked like red eggs and a few spiders but left them as the last crab I caught has put a hole in my scallop bag, i dont feel so bad about eating him now roflrofl

Came home and turned the kitchen into a mini scallop cleaning factory, it drives the girlfriend mad but it has to be done.

Killien when you coming down again mate the crabs were asking where you were
