Ha ha..... Or breaking their necks if they stray too close... Surprised you didnt use your teeth!

I was going to use that...but I can't talk

Seriously though, we went down in mid June; vis was up to 15m when looking down the cliff. We got in and everything just dropped to a cloudy 1-2metres.

Nothing wrong with snapping necks if they're stupid enough to swim into you rofl Look - no spear hole:

Joel,

When you're spearing from the surface, can you tell what type of fish it is below you? I know that when I'm preparing on the surface and a decent size fish swims under me I often can't tell what it is so don't take a shot.
Only ever seem to see fish that are spearable,and can certainly recognise a Seatrout as I have done ....and even at night...also ,no shortage of fish....I am happy,and do not have the sisks associated with Apnea stuff.Also,have never dived alone but not sure how much use a buddy 200 yards away would be anyways......I will stick to my happy medium for now....I have been in a lot over the past three weeks...so I do know the score....do not like them rip-tides though...I will say that.....
 
Joel,

Are you shooting sea trout?

I agree, a buddy who isn't actually there with you is of no use from a safety point of view.
Am I bloody hell,they are for rich people much higher up the food chain than me,just saying I would have made a good Triple A man in WWII ,Know your enemy....still aint seen a mullet yet though...apart from The Hoffs......
 
I'm not sure what these Seatrout people are talking about are? A trout? In the sea? What are you lot smoking?

There is only one species that looks similar, in my circles, we refer to it as a 'Gentleman's Bass'. Very rare though and not for the likes of you lot!
 
Be careful lads, you know that seatrout are illegal and you never know who's looking in.

Anyone know what the conditions are on the Llyn at the moment, sound like it should be bobbins, but I'm desperate to get out this weekend and I'm hoping someone can tell me all is calm and still with perfect vis?
