Hi All,

Epic work Nick.

My season is over due to coming home today from having nose and sinuses drilled out. My cod will have to come next year, fingers crossed x. Good sign though, fish of that quality in already. Will have to break out the rods and peelers.

Mr X the General didnt get away in this scene,almost though. I did think shall i risk going back for the cam gun which was on the float 20m away but my trigger finger had a mind of its own. Good sound track to the Gladiator film (Now We Are Free). May try using it on one of my vids.
Cod and Chips for Sunday dinner.

Any viz reports south devon - appreciate easterly earlier part of the week but wondered if SW had cleared it at all? Been working nights so difficult to check myself but guys at work say Teignmouth / bay is still looking brown. See there is a right old mixture coming in NW/SW/W seems to be swirling around uk

Any update gratefully received

Anyone go night spearfishing just wondering what torch is best to get and if its any good thanks Matt

A few of the guys I know including myself just bought the Xtar d06.
Xtar D06 LED Diving Torch Kit
It ships from torchdirect with the 2400mAh battery (you may want the 3100mAh upgrade although I have not bothered), car charger, case etc.
Bloody bright and mine lasted a full hour on the highestand brightest setting (which you will not need to leave it on all the time)

:)
 
I've just bought the Xtar and it really is a great torch. I also have Princeton Tech Shockwave LED which is bigger and not so bright but keeps going for hours and hours. On my last night dive I enjoyed using the Xtar but was glad to know the old faithful Princeton was on my float in case the battery ran out.
 
Yep, I have the princeton tec 400 as a back up which by then I should be heading for the shore! I'm waiting for the Shiny1 range of torches to show up as the times he heads out in the morning I reckon they would be a well R&D'd piece of kit!rofl

I got given a mini q40 off a bloke in work who does a lot of diving but don't no if it will be any good for spear fishing don't really wanna kit up for it to be shit!

I also have the Q40, but Xenon. Not really good solely as a dive torch, but attach to your mask and is great as a hands free torch when it comes to dispatching the fish. Just a simple twist of the head brings it on, so you don't need it on all the time.
I also have the Xtar D06 and a cheap Chinese LED CREE T6 from Hong Kong that cost about £7.50, which is fine and very bright, but started to fade in and out a little, so bought the Xtar.
