Well there has not been much to talk about spearfishing wise the past few weeks. The weather has eventually turned and winter is upon us. I think I’ll manage a few more dives still, but it’s just about time to dry out the suit and pack all the gear away for the season. But before I do that I wanted to post some pics of a good week’s spearfishing we had a few weeks back. Just not had the time to write this up so apolgies if I’m a bit vaugue on the details.
What a fucking nightmare the past few years have been. I’m just exhausted by the continual struggle to get on with life. I just wanted to say thank you to my friends, you know who are, who make it all worthwhile.

Was hit bit a tinge of nostalgia watching these, but mostly bouts of hysterical laughter 🙂 These guys used to farm in our area before becoming the famous “Boet and Swaar”.
Quick coffee break post. The skipper, the legendary Muddy Waters broke a bit of a drought yesterday landing a couple of nice bass 🙂 We got 5 between us so a good day. Just wanted to share the pic and news. Still got to do a post on Eddystone, sorry for the delay, it’s a manic week with work and getting out as much as possible on the boat before the harbour closes. for the year.
Dived Mousehole island, Low Lee and Carn Base today. To my knowledge I’m the first spearfisherman to dive and land a fish on Carn Base 🙂 Took a small Pollock of it doing a nd exploratary dive this afternoon. Took two small Pollock off Low Lee and a nice sized bass from Mousehole island. Should have been two, missed a sitter…
