JDP Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Last day of the year Saturday fished from the boat for a very successful day on the reef fish. Today Sunday, first day of the year, hit the beach for another successful outing. All up a top weekend. Saintly Fish and suzook12 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather than hijacking someone else’s post why not start a ‘Whos out this Thursday?’ Post? Well my weekend starts Thursday so 🖕🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDP Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) I was out, free dived a reef 12k offshore where water vis was around 30m. Didn't take any fishing gear or spearguns, simply relaxed among the fish, rays and sharks. What made the dive especially good was using a set of C4 S-990 Camo 25 Fins which I bought a while ago, these make moving through the water effortless. It's amazing how something you've done for quite some time can take on a new lease of life by simply using new improved equipment. Looking forward to the next weather opportunity to get out there again. Edited January 17, 2023 by JDP Andy135 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDP Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 23 hours ago, JonC said: Got any photos? I did get a little GoPro footage which I haven't bothered taking off the camera. One part I liked was following a wobbegong shark which was swimming in a kelp gutter with a stingray heading towards us form the other direction, the stingray gave way by swimming up over us. Also a few large schools of fish which looked ok. This is a seal colony area and was late in the day where a few great whites have been encountered there over the past two weeks. Im not sure if its just that I hadn't dived there for a while but I must admit I felt slightly uneasy at the surface, also there were heaps of bluebottle jellyfish which can be a pain when they sting your face.

GPSguru Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I was going to go out this morning as the sea conditions were forecast to be excellent, however, due to the lack of gritting around here and lots of frozen 'run off' I binned the idea as a short section of the A381 has been the subject of a good few ice accidents in the last few days. However, Sunday is looking good, and I may well got out with my mate on his Offshore 25 to the distant wrecks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odyssey Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Offshore 25 maybe a bit warmer…. Maintenance day on boat for me. Wiring up new VHF and foghorn along with wash and polish fun times…. 🙄 GPSguru 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Mrs135's birthday this weekend so it would be more than my life's worth to attempt a dangle. Having said that, I'm absolutely gagging to wet a line so I might have to find an excuse for a shore sesh soon. mike farrants 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPSguru Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Last weekend (28/29) was a complete disaster, the tides were perfect but the weather and sea state didn't play by the forecast. On Saturday the live sea state was lagging the forecast by about 6 hours, and I didn't fancy drifting in a 1.2m @3.8sec swell, when the forecast was 0.4m @ 10secs, which didn't happen until later in the evening. I left the boat all ready to go as Sunday had some promise, with a forecast of flat calm F2/F3 winds from the west, however, it would have been a morning session as the wind was forecast with F5 gusts from 13:00 onwards. When I checked the weather at 6:00am on Sunday morning, the F5 gusts had moved to 09:00, so I binned the idea of going out. To give you an idea of how the wind makes the sea change, at 08:00 the live data was showing 0.19m @14secs, at 09:30 with the wind, it had changed to 0.61m @ 1.7 secs ! This coming Sat, Sun, Mon, & Tues are showing some promise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
