Good to hear that you've got Tong back on task
How did Tong's injury heal up Trelawney?
Assuming you got in around the Plymouth area Trelawny, how much swell was running?
Hoping to spend all weekend in the water so I hope the swell backs off as forecast!
P.s what torch do you use?
Here here, glad he's all healed up and back fighting fit! I can't wait to get back in now.....Good to hear that you've got Tong back on task
Hi Sharper.
There was a bit of swell running, but it's dying down over the next few days. The viz should improve even more.
I use a Light Monkey 9w LED torch. It's my tech diving back-up torch, but it's ideal for spearfishing, as it's rechargable and had a tight beam.
Tong uses a Princeton Tec Shockwave 400 LED. Bulkier, but gives a good spread of light. Goes on for about 12hrs on full power on a set of eight C cells.
Just back in after an evening on Trib's boat. Great to be out on the water on such a beautiful evening. Didn't dive but we still managed to see bass and dogfish [from the boat]. Landed around 40 mackerel and Tribs landed a bonus herring.
If my cold clears up I hope to get wet at the weekend. Just need to get a new suit!

You spoilt for choice down Venture mate.
I recently bought a Seac python 5mm wetsuit from scubastore and its a great bit of kit. Well made and warm as hell. Only using the bottoms at the moment as the old top still has a bit of life in it
Amazing dive yesterday saw lots of launce, dogfish, mullet, and one big mullet which came home for tea. Felt like summer! Other than the very cold water.....

Don't worry I have Anthony on the case for a new 5mm. Just depends if he can get the suit I want in an "Athletic size"
7mm at the moment until it gets a little warmer.
Athletic rofl - i like it!!
should hear any day now on that one dave, ill keep you posted!
Cheers mate!! Hoping to get in Easter Saturday at Cawsands just for a sniff around...
In today again, got a nice spider crab! Left the others behind as they were a little bit smaller!
Lots of large wrasse, not sure of the names of them, some grey spotty types others more patterned, i let them be as i have heard they are pretty bony and difficult to fillet - is that true?
No silver fish or brown crabs spotted though, and didn't check the estuary for flatties. Visibility was excellent!
Do you chaps cook spiders before you freeze them or just bung them in and cook once de-frosted? Risotto planned for next weekend and not sure the best way to keep them, i normally eat them straight away!

Is it a Dream,is it for Real or is it???
I got my Turbot yesterday. A big thick 7.4kg beast. Its not until you get one of this size you realise how thick they are and how hard it is to get the spear to penetrate all the way through.
Off out again now so will write a report later. Taking the gun cam this time.
