Hello everibody,
I have been spearfishing in the med for years but I moved to London a few months ago. I was hopeless because I did not think that UK would be good for spearfishing but I have had the chance, since then, to go fishing with Ed in Guersney and really had a lot of fun there (Ed recommended this website) and, looking at the fish landed by you guys (Old Dave: fantastic bass!!), I believe now that UK is a great place for diving!
I would like to explore the UK coasts a bit to try to catch some nice bass mysefl. Can anyone recommend a good location for this (decent visibility and safe coast: I live in South London, i.e. London Bridge, and have car).
Thanks a lot

Hey Old Dave - Mega catch!
Where are you based? Tell all!
Hi Fabio, we meet again, even if it's on line. Have you seen Ed's picture of his plaice caught a few days after you left Guernsey. Bass fishing is big in the UK but flatfishing is also good. Something you didn't have in the Med. See you next time you visit and we'll dive.
Old Dave you gotta tell. Keeping us in the dark 'snot fair.

Hey Dave, how are you? nice to meet you again! Yes, I have seen Ed's big plaice! I have never seen such a big plaice in the med.
It would be great to go fishing together in Guernsey: it is a great dive there! Also, I would like to find some locations close to London since it would be nice to know that every now and then I can drive a couple of hours and try to catch some nice fish to cook!
Cheers
Fabio

Hi old dave
You sure your not buying these fish from the fishmongers or fishing in Brighton Aquarium?
Man that's some fishing. In nearly 40 years I haven't made catches like that and I live in one of the bassyest places on earth. 6.3 kilo that's practically my PB.
You know you said "If you tell Fabio any more you gotta shoot him". If I shoot him for you will you tell me more?
Where is it you are. I think I'm gonna emigrate.
I would say good hunting but it frightens me to think what you would catch if I did.
Tell us more. We crave the details.

Don't tell Fabio too much !
Last time he came over he cleaned up with a large bass, several smaller ones and a lobster !
Just kidding - a good guy to go diving with and looking forward to having him over here again in the next few weeks.
The 'English Channel' - I can see why you didn't mention it the first time - you'd have every tom, dick and harry going there. Don't worry I won't tell a sole/soul....

Old Dave, thanks a lot for your tips! I will try there for sure and ... do not need to know more!
Ed, really look forward to coming over and having some sessions in Guersney (it sounds that I have got to be careful next time I am over if I do not want to "sleep with the fishes"...)

Re the old Dave thing, have you heard this one?
An old bull and a young bull are standing in a field chewing the cud. The young bull says "I'm going to run down to the bottom of the field and have one of those cows." The old bull says "Yeh, good idea, you do that. But personally I'm going to walk down there and have them all."
Age is an attitude thing and boy have I got attitude.
All the best
Dave (the old bull).
