Early evening last minute dive to 'Site C' at HT slack.
Got a late dive pass from Lucy so shot out to check 'Site C' from shore, headed left in 2-3m vis loads of life about along the wall and a lot of bait fish but nothing big yet, swam to a reef and picked up two really nice flounder over the sand. Saw plenty of crabs and a conger on the reef but no Bass, saw three squid on the way back in managed to take one, not a bad size either. Decided to call it a day after 45min in the water as I'd...

Early evening dive to 'Site B' took the boat which was a mistake as by the time we got sorted the tide was very low easy enough launch but couldn't get to the best spots. Checked 'Site A' on way out to 'B' full of Dog fish but nothing else, moved on to 'B' I dove a little deeper than Titus which turned out to be a mistake, he picked up 3 Bass, all around the 4lb mark! Dammit, I managed a real big Mullet though maybe 7lb Missed a bass myself on way back to the boat and left another two sitting mullet...

Afternoon dive LT slack and rising.
Went back to Church Ope but vis is dropping now only 1-2m Was still calm so Lucy joined me for a rest on the beach while I had an hours dip. I still hate the walk down! Saw some really large schools of Mullet same spot as last time, was searching for a gold spot but didn't see any, did get two good size ones that I'll smoke when I get back. Tide brought in a lot of crap so headed home, did see a small Bass on the rising tide though.

All day play, Low tide through to full tide.
Took my boat out for a test now I fixed the engine, light NW breeze but flat calm, went out from Castletown slip checked 4 different sites ending at Church Ope. Saw nothing on the way out but found Mullet in the cove (very shallow feeding in surf), vis was poor at a patchy 1-2m, and tide was running. Managed one a piece (nice size) also managed to swim into a gill net in the low viz. Checked some spots on our return and the vis was improving picked...

Afternoon dive on a falling tide.
Took one of the boats out for a gear shake down, first dive since I moved down and the weather has finally settled after the fun of last weeks winds. Went looking for some of those non existant shellfish with Titus. Vis was ok but not great at about 2m, diving in maybe 4m of water. Wind was blowing gently from NW and water was calm. Managed to collect a dinners worth of shellfish and missed a skate I swam straight across, to top it off lost my snorkle (being...
