You've got your boat ready to go in January? You're keen! I've been pondering whether to take the rod out flattie fishing but thinking the early cold snap early this month might make it fruitless.

any sign of those elusive pine fish yet?

Last I heard heading to Kent, the Channel shipping lanes & even on to the mouth of the Thames. They reckon some will end up in Sussex & Dorset -- so watch out guys. Think I'll start a new thread on UK salvage laws.

Had a good dive in Portland Harbour two weeks ago taking 12 Scollops all big and in perfect condition also picked up a 2lb flounder by hand and let it go again. Fished out of Shoreham on 1st March my dive buddy had three good fish off a wreck in
50ft and a dark 6ft viz.

 

[devondave]

Three fish , nice start to the season and 50ft/15m impressive so early , your mate must be pretty good .

Check out this new UK website (Portsmouth based), selling mainly Piccasso gear:

www.dkbunderwatersports.co.uk

 

[eric aqua]

Gaz D this is one of the best site's that I have seen very straight forward and easy to use, it is being run by one of the best young divers in the county who is also a member of the British Underwater Hocky team.
The species were very edible and go well with chips.

Hall of Fame http://forums.deeperblue.com/spearo-board/82043-deeper-blue-spearfishing-hall-fame.html is filling up. Plenty of good stories and pictures. Latest species to reach 5 entries is the Pollack. Check out some new "down under" entries. Catch the new cover picture and story of Dob's big Leerfish. Still looking for historical entries, mullet, wrasse, crab anyone? Just make sure you meet all the rules.
