Spearfishing Oppertunity Missed

Once again the sea is pea green and I was just not amped to get in .....call me spoilt, but groveling in 3m vis is not my idea of fun.

I was driving off to work this morning and realised that the 'summer run' was probably over! Although we might have some good days left before the quiet period in late April and May, the bumper cuta filled mornings are probably over til next year.
I can remember one year a mate dropping everything the one week in February when it was on. His comment was this happens only once in the year and he was going to make the most of it.

I on the other hand did not make the most of the good run of water and fish we had a month ago. Some how I just missed it and there was always the hope that we would get some more days.
This just was not to be, some rain and then 2 weeks of swell blew that one.

Now we are going to have to jump on every day that comes our way, there will still be good fish ...just not guaranteed like in early Feb.

Next week Tuesday shows a strong south .....maybe it will turn things around??

P.S - dont forget the Salty Divers Club meet tomorrow nite!!!

Spearfishing update

Well the sea looks good this morn ...not sure how clean it is but the conditions are great. The might have been a small wave as well, but there is not too much swell to talk about.

The forecast shows that there will be no wests for another week!! that does not ring well for the sea. Thats unless we get some blue water from the east winds ..... not common but very good when it does happen.

Other than that not much else is happening, the Salty Divers are meeting in Ballito on Friday nite ......drop me a mail if you are keen to check it out.

later

Beasterly Easterly foils Spearfishing

The East pumped yesterday totally screwing up the sea, there is a small west coming but a large high pressure system is going to push it away down south. This means that is very little chance of things coming right. ...bummer!!!

The long term forcast says that there will be no southerlies for the next week aswell ... :-(

Bugg Season .....

Well tradition was upheld this weekend as the bugg season opened with very kuk water. A couple brave warriors dared the deep muck and groveled a couple critters.

The west blew and the sea made a huge turn around and now you can at least see the end of your gun ....but that's about it.

I went for a dive this morning and it was miff, I scrounged a couple buggs, but to be honest I should have gone surfing .... it actually was cooking!!

Anyway the beast from the east is here and the sea will go back into its depression :-(
