Have just been listening to some Offspring and one of my favs is “spare me the details”. Lyrics below and youtube if you want to listen. Funny stuff man 🙂

Dived today after the gales of the past week. Very bad viz, only just dive-able. NE still blowing so tough rolely conditions and not a fish to be seen. Going to try again tomorrow.
So I’ve done some tweaks to my blog to try keep everyone in the loop. It should post a message to my social media accounts, identi.ca and facebook when I post a new blog.

Went for a walk earlier. We got a bit of a gale blowing so I through there would be a few pictures to be had of the storm surf, but forgot it was low water. Got a couple good ones nonetheless, but what do you think? Add your comments below.
Brendan, Dad and I out for a spearfishing session on the Aquila.
The plan was to go out to the Bucks first, have a quick go and then work our way back towards Mousehole, stopping off at the inner Stannock and the Kellin.
Dived Kellen today took a nice bass there. Was very cold though and was struggling with my diving a bit. Decided to move to the Conqueror. The water was much warmer there and I managed to take a good sized Pollock off there of 2-3 kilos. Fantastic dive as always the Conqueror.
Dived Stannock and Kellen this afternoon. Took three bass off the Kellen, saw two fish on Stannock but neither where really a chance. Tide flooding, Wind NNE, Dived 4.30 – 7.
Quick note on dive today. Tough conditions with SW blowing. Stannock was blown out, dived Kellen and took small bass, saw a school of about 5 bigger fish earlier. Also dived the Coqueror again and saw a good sized pollock but could not get a  shot at him. Checkin at Mousehole island but nothing going, headed back in. Stats: left 2pm, back 5pm. HW 3.20pm. Wind SW 20mph
Today was a very special day for me. I successfully dived two locations, having a variable depth of between 15 and 20 meters. I took fish off both locations, one of which was my best fish taken spear-fishing to-date.
The two spots where Low Lee which has a pinnacle at about 10m, falling away to 20m+ down the sides and the wreck of the Conqueror that lies in about 15 – 22m of water depending on the area you diving.
I have been spear-fishing for 3 years and today I ticked off a major goal to be able to comfortably and successfully dive 20m.
