hi all went out yesterday with peter had a great day with my new toy a 4m avon searider we had a few bass each my biggest 5 1/2 lb saw a bigone but was putting a 4 lb er on my stringer at the time mybe next time saw lots of fish viz good pleased with boat happy hunting

Nice one, still quite a few nice fish about here as well!
 
Looks like the fish are starting to leave, Quiet today in the bay, 2 bass 1 mullet and a 4lb pollock.

I been trying out new ground. Diving 2 small islands a short boat ride ofshore, some of it deepish just over 20 meters. But wont be diving it again, On the bottom at about 18 meters with a mullet on my belt, look to my right a massive grey bull seal no more than an inch from my face. Long story short, swam up like a missle and had the seal trying to grab the fish of my belt. 2nd seal incident this seaon, i think they dont like me much.

Apprantly its a large male grey bull seal i saw, This is infomation from a guy who runs a boat to see the seals and dolphins in the bay during summer.

I think I know the place you talking about Matt and yes he's a big bugger. I get out and move when he's about, pointless staying in as he just follows you around :head

Seal meat is good roflroflonly joking that must be scary quiet in the bay to
 
Another nice catch Shiny, spot on mate.:):)

I’ve got a question for the new Regional Advisor,
I was thinking of a trip down to Devon in the near future and would like to know where I can find a few double figure Lobster’s along with 3 or 4 late season 9lb plus Bass and maybe a couple of dustbin lid size Flatfish?
Any Regional Advice he could pass on would be much appreciated.:D:D:D
 
Not been out of it Podge the PC has,its falty and keeps crashing,so dont post much.Must spend some money on repairs or get a new one.Spent all my money on new spearo gear thats my problem.
Forgot to mention Bish's Greenhorn bit on Sunday,had a good day with no disasters then when we got back he's running around in his Yfronts looking under cars and boats on the slip looking for his trousers,what a sight lol.He was in a right panic,£200+ in the pockets and 3 credit cards,i felt bad because i found it funny at the time and all the people in the car park did aswell.

Nick,

If you are having problems with the PC drop it in to me when in Cornwall and I'll rebuild it (do it for mates at work etc). May save you from spending money on PCWorld!!!!!!!!!

PM Me

Cheers Rich (Diver9)
 
Getting near the close of poll, only another day to go http://forums.deeperblue.com/uk-ireland/84117-september-fish-month.html . Make sure you've voted and make sure your mates have. It's been a great month for entries and deserves a big turnout in the voting.

Several of the September FOM fish are featured in the http://forums.deeperblue.com/spearo-board/82043-deeper-blue-spearfishing-hall-fame.html along with a fair few other new entries and already an entry from October FOM. If you haven't checked out the HOF lately then have a look. It makes great viewing.

Dave.
