Odyssey Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 No chance…. 4m swells and gale force winds…. long range forecasts for weekend after are a bit more promising…. Spring tides too so hopefully a shark hunt to end the season with 🤔🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy135 Posted October 1, 2021 Author Share Posted October 1, 2021 Yes, the 9th & 10th look a bit more promising... but it could all change by then. 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bar crossing had solid 3m swell even though the wind had dropped bellow 10kts, no boats out from our harbour. The day skippering went well even with such poor conditions. The divers came across schools of paper nautilus (argonauts) which Ive been desperately hoping to find and film when ever I get back out.

JDP Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Red urchin from the commercial day, $3600 worth to the boat owner. Picture is from the second haul of the morning, by late afternoon deck space was scarce. The shells are turbans, similar to whelks, which we ended with 6 boxes off.

Andy135 Posted October 14, 2021 Author Share Posted October 14, 2021 I'm planning to sneak out tomorrow for a cod-bothering session with @Saintly Fish. Anyone else out and about? Weekend weather looks reasonable enough on Saturday for the south coast boats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odyssey Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 (edited) Out tomorrow with Ian. Its my last shark trip this year as weather looks poo next week… after that prob time to hunt cod. I’ve had a good run, time to try something different and start again in March/April. 🙂 In a way in looking forward to locking out of Cardiff, motoring less than a mile and getting the uptide rods again 🙂 Edited October 14, 2021 by Odyssey Andy135 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the eye surgery yesterday, which wasn't without drama as the registrar surgeon found classic symptoms of glaucoma in my eyes, however, as I have no history of glaucoma the symptoms maybe a side effect of the immunosuppressant drug that I am on. Just for @Andy135 …. The anaesthetic is administered by needle. You are given eye drops to numb the injection area, then told to look upper left and in goes the needle into the corner of the eyeball. Once they press the plunger you feel lots of pressure behind the eye, but it sounds a lot worse that it is. You can see the syringe but cant feel the needle. I seems like the op was successful, but I wont really know until tomorrow. Also I have to go back in a month to check out the glaucoma issue.

Apparently the immunosuppressant drug that I am taking is known to mimic all sorts of issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
