grabbed his head and tail and held on for dear life. to say he didnt come quietly would be an understatmentroflrofl the old boy still had a lot life in him.

It took me half an hour to swim him back to the boat and in the bag

You love it Mr Wilson. Sounds like when you were mollesting that poor conger for ages.

Got in at the same spot as Scott but on the later tide. Managed a couple of bass, a john dory and a few decent pollack. Viz was a good 25 feet. Loads of schoolies shoaled up swimming with me. Missed a big un out deep in the gullies :head

It was a nice dive, shame I was Billy no mates

Scott, that lobster is outrageous!!!

Coincidentally I found a big one in a hole today, but didn't have the b*lls to pick him up - every time I try they turn, take up a mega aggressive stance, and start snapping their claws. What's the trick?
 
Nice one Scott, Hell of a lobster. Just one question. What size of pan will you need?
Had a a couple of dives on Friday and Saturday at Sandybay. Had a few mullet and bass but nothing big. Good to see the weather is on the up. Bumped into another spearo waiting to go in on the low tide. Sorry I forgot your name. Nice to have a chat though.

Went for a dive last night after work only for about an hour or so, but in that short amount of time I couldn't believe the amout of bass I saw! Shoals of bass all sizes from small schoolies to 4 maybe 5 pounders!
The bass were so curious, dive after dive they would shoal back in! took two good sized bass for the table then left, was a great dive!!:)
