Sorry Mikee I don't have a definate answer other than to to tell you I have a large yellow Bouy and the young blokes dive with the orange torpedo type with flags. Yeah last year some days were bloody maddness over 150 divers in the water off the Glenn.

Thank you for your concern all the same it's truely appreciated!

No I don't want to catch stingrays!!! Sounds like you have too much common sense anyway

I'm heading out for a look for a kingi off Taylor's mistake . First light tomorrow ( Tuesday 7) In boat . Probably until mid morning or until the easterly turns up .
Anyone keen ? as I'm going no matter what , so another rod won't hurt . If it's clean and calm can take snorkel and spear gun ? .

speared my first kingii last week too after years of half assed trying, keeping the spear with me at all times now, payed off with a 11.5 pound snapper too
was a good last week of the holidays.
I was going to head out for low tide last night till remembering my spear is still buggered from the kingfish.....

Just spotted this now. Would have been keen

Last night at Glenndunne. Finned out towards the bouy got 150 yards off the boulder bank and the vis open out to 40ft, plankton in epic shoals (one moment you could see 40ft the next next you couldn't see you dive buddy a meter away) we hit the tide line and then the Kingi's came in.

Was the dive of the season for me, you would see them on the bottom in two's or three's and as you swam down to them the school would rise up to meet you and you would be surrounded by over 30 kingi's, Now seeing and spearing are two very differnt things (well for us last night).. as soon as you got you spear away from your body or swam at em they driffted out of range. Shit we tried every thing Hip shots, diving on em from above, ignoring em the works. Next week will be flashers tied off my dive bouy.

All in all a fantastic two hours we saw three serious schools and over a hand full of individuals or pairs that would come in and buzz you and ghost away. Obiviously still alot to learn before I can put one on the board, still fingers crossed not long now.

40 - 60 ft, right on the tide line. Rising tide.

How big a boat is realistically required to get out boulder bank ? This is sounding very tempting . I realise sea conditions are constant change , but be cool to get my 16 ft tin tub out ?

Yeah Munsey you would be fine in yours, the only problem you would have is finding a trailer park on a good weekend.

To be honest you could just bring a gun and dive with me off the Boulder bank, they were coming right to the surface last night.

So were the orca an hour before apperently. but they're friendly so I'm told

Got a spare bed at mine any time eh.

You'd be all good with that on a good day. If you come up I'll loan you some lures if you like as they are bloody expensive if you are only going to chace them once or twice.

Sat will be good by the looks
High tide 11:43am (4.6m)
