Thought I'd start the month off - you never know...!

Got in today for the first time in about 6-8 weeks, I was motivated by Spearo Nobby and his friends great catch!

Went to a favourite little spot in the harbour after a long drive down (bloody diversions)!


Got in (shore dive) just before the high tide, vis was about 2-3m temp 13-14 degrees - definitely getting colder... Anyway had a Mullet about 3-4lbs see me first and shoot off before I could even swing the gun around which I was gutted about as I didn't see another silver fish for two hours.

Searched a few different areas and decided to fight the cold and go in search of the mullet again slowly stalking the kelp, when suddenly a head came into view through about 4 inches of gap in the kelp so I lined and let the spear go! - Didn't even know it was a bass until I had pulled it clear of the kelp it was a good head shot through the gills but didn't stone it dead and it was darting all over the place.

Got the fish under control and dispatched and had to swim back to the shore as I was well and truly tangled with spear line and float line now, not that I minded too much as it was a good end to a pretty mundane dive. Just glad I re-traced my swim to find this beaut. He weighed in at just over 4lb's and it was a good return to the water after too long of an absence
!

I don't usually buy the Sport but it was this or fork out for the Times...
