Got down to the island with Carly at 7:30am. Was hoping with light westerlies that I had seen on seabreeze and two other sites the day before that I might get a few hours in. Next to no wind at the island just a light onshore less than 7knt N to NW wind. Unfortunately too much swell even though swell was 1.3m on seabreeze and magic seaweed.

Went to Inverloch and dived Anderson's Inlet for the very first time with my improvised hand spear (two prong no barbs).
Water was calm but to much sediment in the water column vis was 1-1.5m. After 15mins and covering 200m drifting with the incoming tide 2-4m deep pulled the plug.

Went to Cape Paterson and it was pretty messy but really wanted to get in the water. So only i jumped in, but again Vis was shit barely 1-2m. Only saw a few fish couple of Zebs a sml and a big one, x1 LJ and a large fish approx 0.5m sitting on a rock that started to bolt went it saw me. Lined it up but didnt take the shot as i couldnt make it out. Most likely a quality fish such as Polish kingfish or a Sea Carp. . Ended up getting out after about 40mins after being annoyed with vis and swimming against rips.

Y.C.W today at 1pm, me and a mate jumped in. Vis was decent, north west winds meant beach was nice and protected.

Ended up with a 30cm + sweep and a 35cm Luderick.

I missed the biggest sweep I have ever seen it was facing me eyes to eyes and to thin to shoot then just vanished..

Looks more like a Zebra fish mate. Luderick have thinner stripes.

Nice eating in the sweep though.

Well done!

Get this book Raymhigh. It's probably the best one to ID fish.

Bit hard to see on my phone and now i can only see the first fish and its the 2nd time writing this message. technology!
From what i previously saw 1st fish Purple wrasse also known as black parrot, 2nd fish Marble fish also known as Southern Sea Carp and 3rd fish Herring Cale.

The book that greg mentioned is a good one and not to expensive.

Happy spearing
