Ive fished for many years and just recently started spearfishing. Went out today and bagged 3 Plaice and a nice Atlantic Cod. I lost one, when the spear-barb didnt catch properly and missed 2 which swam away because i spooked them.
The guy i went with bagged over 10 Plaice, but hes got over 10 years experience and is able to spot them easily. They were found at about 9-12 feet. The max i hit today was 18 feet. Water temps was just around 50F.
It was a nice trip, but i couldnt get my snorkel to sit right, which caused me to swallow seawater several times. In the end i got nauseous and had to cut my trip short :thumbdn: I also think that i was too heavily weighted with lead, which also contributed to it.
Oh well, experience is something you get 10 mins after you needed it.
Thanks for reading!
