South devon Report 2009

[tribs]

Hey All,

Out today to check the pots and I got the feeling someone had already checked them before me and kindly decided to cut them open too! Someone marking their ground better not let me bump into them mid act. GRRRR.

Still, mullet taken, small bass left to grow and 1 cracking bass seen at the very end of a breath and never again. A good session bar the pots.

Ps nice fish boys - Anyone one out in a small RIB off Exmouth with a 75 Mariner today?

Tribs out

Wow, Jacques Cousteau!

Nice one Nick, not only a crack shot with the speargun but not bad with the camera either.

 

[scottwilson]

Help needed.
Does anyone know where I can get an Imersion MATC Trident? I want the threaded head to use with a Pneumatic. I can see they are available in France and on the Dive Inn store, but was hoping they may be available in the UK.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers, Dave.

Yeah i suprised myself with it Scott.It dont get in the way of your vision when hunting and its well balanced.I did think it would make loading difficult but its ok.Got some good film of flatties being taken and some mullet in the stringweed which is in good vis.Need to learn how to edit it in to one clip rather than in bits.I did put another clip on youtube,its in good vis this time.

What camera is it Shiny? And are you using a bought or customized brackett?


(I'm off again!)

 

[scottwilson]

gaz you going to love shiny1's camera its blinding, youtube does the quality no justice.

North1 Ive never seen any here in the UK, very nice bit of kit tho. Bit on the pricey side. Is it for Hole spearing?

 

[north1]

Scott,
Yep it's for hole fishing. I have more success fishing in holes as opposed to laying on the bottom. Downside of it tho is I don't get as many bass as the boys with the big lungs.
Cheers

Apnea in Jersey used to stock them and I believe they are still Imersion stockists;
