Yesterday was a good opportunity to mix family time and me-time
Packed the car with beach umbrellas, buckets, spades and spearfishing gear and drove to Koonya and got there by 2pm
Busy spot with 3 boats around the bommies further out, plenty of divers but VERY FEW floats
Very good conditions, despite strong undertow making return a workout

Spent 45mins fishing just before the change arrived around 5:15pm
Was at the bommie far out
The place had been hammered in the earlier hrs of the day so I wasn't expecting much and family took priority over fish, but such a pleasure diving this spot

Plenty of small comp fish especially sweep and magpies
Shot once and took home a nice trumpeter

Packed up by 4:30, gelato at Vulcano by 5, pizza at DOC by 6:30, home by 10:30
All happy

Cape Schanck and Koonya late last week. Murky 5-8m vis. A lot of fish hiding. A lot of crays hiding. Very disappointing dive all round. Water is turning colder. :cry:

Back beaches and we dived for a couple of hours last Sunday, good 12-15+m vis, good fish life about, much more enjoyable than the previous dive. The northerlies sure help. Still hard work getting crays, two small guys seen. Terrible season for them.

Down at flinders recently, diving out of the kayak. Average vis but still managed to find a PB rock flattie (48cm) hiding in a sand hole

Nice day out off Pt Lonsdale few weeks back. 8lb and near enough 6lb were the big ones, weighed. Picked up a few scallops as an afterthought too!
who says its been a bad year on the crays!
Seen some "8lb crays" posted on other forums... and no where near this size.
First time post - hopefully put up some more soon

Free diving or on bubbles?

Bubbles = minimal points on this forum.

Nice crays though.

It's a bit like sleeping with your sister catching Crays on air and bragging about it

Some people may need an "open water 2" ticket to swim where you do Muz!

A month off and this was the warm up dive. Saturday, 10+m vis, Real surgy on the rocks. Lots of fish life on the point and two crays taken. 1.4kg and 1 kg. Good to be back in the water.

Yeah...and in NZ commercial ab divers aren't allowed to use hookahs to grab the slugs off rocks! Pot calling the kettle black.

Hey guys just wondering what sort of wind and swell i should be looking for to make the back beaches diveable. I went out Cape shank the otherday for a doughnut with 2m viz and heaps of chop. Also where abouts on the back beaches is good im not after your secret cray spot just keen on a few fish thanks
