Very bad habit foxfish I know

dived this afternoon.
viz was the same as friday so spent my time searching the sand for flatties. I found a good size flounder sitting in a sand patch, popped him on the stringer and moved over to another sand patch where I found about 4 cuttlefish buried in the sand so took 2 of them and finished off with another cuttle on my way out :)

Note so self: remember to clean cuttle fish in the sea before getting out as girlfriend, kitchen tiles and cuttle ink dont mix

Dreamer, what is your opinion on farming tuna like they are doing in Malta?

Dreamer, I was told that there were more than a few parasites in the water with you lot and the tuna and although it must have been an amazing experience I thought that from the photos the whole net could have been a little bigger for the size and amount of fish that it held??

Are they really farming them or do they steal whole shoals of young fish from the wild and fatten them up for sale?
Cynical maybe but I believe they only do it because the bigger fish are almost fished out.

NO!! You have to keep the ink! There is an amazingly tasty recipie in the River Cottage book for cuttlefish cooked in its own ink. I can't remember what its called, but its worth the mess:friday

Just got back from a night session, were a few rod anglers around so was only able to work a small area. Managed 2 plaice, 4 flounder and a Bass.

I think i could have ad more but that would have upset the anglers I think so will have to wait till next time.

It was lovelly night with clear skies, lots of stars and really cool bioluminescence.
