Hi All,
Late report from the other night but worth a mention. Went out to one of our usual spots, loaded the boat on the way, thanks to the feather line, with mackerel, had 6 nice crabs from my pots and freed a huge lobster full of eggs. Got in the water and though i'd jumped into an aquarium! Crystal clear and out in front amongst several hundred juvenile pollack was a John Dory hoovering them up! bang and the dory was gone. lovely looking thing. Saw some small, scratchy looking schollies and took the odd mullet that swam past.
A lovely night and a new species for my spearo list.

Thanks Dave.
I actually decided on Budleigh today as I thought it was time to lay the old helicopter ghost to rest. Wife wasn't dead keen on the idea but she knew it was coming sometime.

Vis was amazing so I got to see lots of fish that were out of range and didn't want to come in close :head

Even the dogfish were skittish today, but that was probably just the fear of Ollie the shark molester...

After I got out I saw someone diving from a small RIB - anyone on here?

I think it may have been pete crawford he was out. Was the rib red?

At long last the time has come to vote for the September Fish of the Month http://forums.deeperblue.com/uk-ireland/84117-september-fish-month.html .

It must be the best entry ever. Some great fish have been entered.

We've simplified the format so now the voting poll goes on the entry thread instead of being a separate thread so you can read all about the entries before you vote. Please reframe from posting on the entries/voting thread for now.

There is a discussion thread for all of the 2009 FOM's. http://forums.deeperblue.com/uk-ireland/84260-uk-fish-month-discussion-thread.html#post784201 . Please post here until after the poll closes in 5 days. Once the winner is announced feel free to post your congrats/comments on the entry/voting thread. Clear as mud :confused:.

Dave.
