Spearfishing News
Hey guys,
After a fairly event less weekend its back to the grind stone. There was some diving to be had, but no bells and whistles. The vis was more than good enough for a bugg hunt and I saw a number of guys diving, but no fish?
I just looked at the sea, it was very low so it was hard to tell if it had cleaned up with the west. I thought that we would get very good water by now! The tide is high in the morning and there will be less chance of it being churnned up, but there is some swell forcast.
Also hot off the press is the news that the Wahoo Winter Game Fish has been given the green light. The 'Powers at Be' were giving the guys the run around and at one stage it looked like it was not going to happen.
That said they have restricted the number of boats to 30!!! this means that if you are not in quick you could very well miss out.
The forms and details for registration are still getting finalized ...but as soon as they are available I will post them.
Anyway thats all for now....

Barrels and more Barrels
The dive has not been good ....but the barrels have!!
There has been a strong ground swell out the south and it has made for some seriously chunky barrels. A little under the weather with flu I got the call this morning that it was on. Hauled my ass out of bed and got out there.
And it was chuncky!! I managed to get into one or two waves that just turned to caverns of delight. But for every wave I got 2 went by, I was just not able to get into them on my 6'o" ...... keep telling myself that 'Kelly' is a year older and a centimeter taller and would probably be riding his favorite 5'10"!! Ok he is 6kg lighter ....... and has just won the second of 2 ASP events back to back!!
Anyway it looks like we are in for an epic winter surfwise ...... I am getting ready for it!!
The forecast looks bleak for the next few days and week end ....... the kiteboarding will be good ...

Spearfishing ..whats up?
The sea has been looking good the last few days, I have been out of the dive with sinus problems ... dam bleak. So I have been flushing them out surfing some nice clean barrels that we have had the last 2 days.
Today the south east was up and made everything choppy, the vis looked ok tho. And I probably would have dived.
The long term forecast is bleak with loads of easts through to the weekend. Its a pity the land breazes had just started and I was looking forward to some more good surf.
Talking about the weekend its the Salty Divers Club meet on Friday nite. If you have never been before pull in. It is very chilled, we normally just throw some meat on the braai and share a laugh or 2 over a beer. All are welcome so pull in and come see whats going down.
Any way back to the grind stone
