Super Flat

Its super flat and with the high tides in the morning it has made for great conditions for Bugg hunting in the shallows. I have unfortunately been flat out at graft .... no Buggs for me :-(

But other than that ,....... squat!

Frustrated and off to work!

Gee the sea was looking so Lovely this morning, only thing was the tide was too high and the surf was just not happening. The frustrating thing is that its gonna be firing on the low .....when I have to be at work ...... bloody miserable!!

The swell will all but disappear over the next few days and the vis is looking mediocre at best ..... somethings going to have to give for some action to go down. And the long term forecast is looking very uneventful.

Who knows maybe the sea will magically clean up??

Spearfishing Mozambique

I have just returned from a spearfishing trip in Mozambique, we went up to Barra Point near Tofu. We had epic weather and dived every day until we were spent. The vis conditions were generally very good on the outer reefs but for some reason it was fairly cold around the 25 deg mark .... cold for there!

We got some nice fish, but generally it was a scratch for them. Even the local fishing boats were struggling for fish and we had to dive hard for the few fish we did spear. The highlight of the trip was a saily I got off a pinnacle 12km out to sea, but other than that we got a couple cuta and some other nice gamefish, and the Wahoo just eluded us. I did not see any, but the other guys saw them every now and then chilling in the background .... frustrated the living daylights out of every one!!

My 35,5kg Barra Sailly .... got it on film aswell,
but you will have to wait for the dvd to check it out.

Back on the home front the sea looks like it it going to be fairly calm, not sure if there is any good vis around .....

On friday nite the Salty Divers will be meeting at my place for our monthly social ...... hey the club jackets are ready and I will have them for those who ordered them on Friday ......

Anyway ....I have a mountain of work (work that pays the bills) to sort out .........

Keep in touch
