Cheers mate! Yeah I've had a fair few comments about the lack of a flag! Trying to make one ATM with some random fabric I have laying about, we'll see how that goes! Just watched your latest btw. Some sweet catches and footage!
@@OceanicMatt sounds like a good idea! Cheers Matt. It was a fun trip, I had loads of footage I didn’t use and some good catches off camera! Hopefully go back again next year
Gutting the fish on location is the job saved a crab this year out of a stomach he stretched out his arms took a huge breath and away with him lol. But now I do it at home to keep the waste for next years fertiliser for garden. It's good stuff for growing.
No way! Bet that crab was the wtf?!! Lucky guy! I do it away from home to keep the kitchen clean and not just chuck it in the bin. Never thought to use it for that, must be high in nutrients! Surely it smells horrendous though?
@OceanicMatt yea it stinks like mad I just have it in a sealed bucket down the bottom of the garden. Not opened it for ages cos got no fish. A bucket of this stuff thrown indoors would leave a place uninhabitable for centuries. I do know a place I'd like to do that maybe someday. ..lol
@OceanicMatt also that crab was alive and yea was mad to see him gather himself and go wtf just happened but that bass was not huge and he took a 45g lure he was a hungry bass. Had another crab and sand eel too. Good Times but seems their gone not had one no matter how I try bad year for East cost of eire. Wales seemed better from what CZcams showed this past 2 months.
😂😂😂 I can think of a few places also...That's a shame, I've not been out this year as much as I'd have liked due to the crap weather we've had. Hopefully next year is a better one! I've heard Ireland is a great place to dive, especially down south?
Great Visibility must admit i love snorkeling around the Cornish Waters in the Summer. I am from Switzerland 🇨🇭 so accustomed to cold lake water. Will be in Cornwall for a month in june will bring a mask and snorkel with my wet suit.
Cornwall's great isn't it... I try to go there at least once every year in the summer!! Ahh nice, the water should be around 14 degrees by then shouldn't it, practically tropical! 😂 What part of Cornwall are you headed to??
@@OceanicMatt usually we go to Perranporth. But thats where we stay. As far as snorkeling is concerned i have tried Around the headland around fistral bay. Also found that Godrevy was really good. Tried Lulworth Cove in Dorset. I used to lake swim around the year in Luzern lake with temperatures at around 5c. But it was more of an energetic swim in 3mm wets suits with head gear and gloves just to keep to pain of the cold away air temperature was sometimes -10c. Thought what we were doing was far out until a couple of old Swiss ladies turned up and went in without any gear on, they put us in our place!!
Fair play to them!! I do admire all these people that get in without a suit when its that cold😂 We had that when we went diving at Vobster Quay a couple of weeks ago, 7.8 degree water in thick wetsuits and every now and then we'd see people swimming in just in a swim suit!! Not for me 😂 I've not been to Perranporth, although Polly jokes near there though which I've been to a few times, nice area isn't when the water's flat. I lost a GoPro at that headland by Fistral too😂 Where abouts in Lulworth did you go?
Thanks man, definitely not donkeys 😂 I wasn't finding anything big on those dives, maybe I wasn't going out far enough? Hopefully be back in August to explore the area further. It was all east of the centre Cowloe rocks according to Navionics! Is the Cowans the proper name for them?
@@OceanicMatt not for you to get out of their way… they are powered craft, easy for them to alter course Only thing I’d say is, maybe get a flag on your float, which makes them much more visible
Awesome beach isn't it.. Been going to it for years but have only just started diving it! I haven't seen any sharks yet.. I've seen all the reports of Blue sharks coming into shallow water around St. Ives etc but unfortunately never seen one yet! Maybe one day!
@@OceanicMatt yeah I’ve never considered diving in the uk to be honest but after watching your video I’m really considering it! Just abit cold for my taste haha. And even though great whites aren’t officially in our waters I struggle to put that thought out of my mind!
@@willheath407That's awesome, you should definitely give it a try in the summer when it's flat and the Vis is good, you'll be surprised how good it is when the conditions are right! A decent fitting open cell wetsuit will sort the cold out for you too. I dive in a 5.5mm and it's fine all year round for me! Understandable about shark worries but the chances of you running into anything dangerous are pretty small, especially in shallow waters!
O never realized in England we had such clear waters. Next time I visit home I need to dive ( I am PADI certified). 1/4 inch dry suite ? Do you see any big stuff like Tuna, or Halibut, or Mackerel ?
When the conditions are right the UK is really good! The south coast can have great visibility. I get by with a 5.5mm suit - a good thickness, I don't know much about dry suits but I'm sure that would be alright! Bluefin Tuna show up around Cornwall and Devon, I've never seen one yet though. Dolphins, Whales and sharks are in UK waters too!
That wreck could have been the Torri canyon which went aground in the early 70s devastating the whole of Sennen cove . I was there when the RAF blew it up to get rid of the oil, the beaces were shut for years and you can still find little blobs of oil under some of the rocks nearly 60 years on
@@mikeystreets9333 I've just been reading up about it, pretty horrendous environmental disaster! Must have been awful actually seeing that all unfold and the impact it had on the coastline. The wreck that I found isn't on navionics and I can't seem to find anything online about it either. So maybe it could be?
@@johnratcliffe6438 Haha well that's very kind of you 😂 Your friend must not have met many spearos / freedivers because we're a pretty nice bunch of people who love the ocean and harvest sustainably! 🤙🤙
@@jayinwood647 True, from what I understand those 6 areas in Cornwall are all tidal estuaries/ rivers.. So Sennen cove should be fine, unless I've missed something of course.
Great story and footage 👍 a big dive flag helps being visible to boat users quite a bit. Well worth it

Hi mate, the RNLI send you right hbecause theres a cheeky Rip around to the left there! Great video!
Thanks Matt! And fair one, seems like a good enough reason! I'm guessing there are strong currents on the other side of the rocks too
Nice one mate 👍
Cheers John!

Noice boi. No donkeys but two eaters there. Were you to the east of the Cowans? looked like it. Local spearo asking
Thanks man, definitely not donkeys 😂 I wasn't finding anything big on those dives, maybe I wasn't going out far enough? Hopefully be back in August to explore the area further.

that kelp bottom reminds me a lot of spots in san diego, good dive!
Thanks! That bottom structure is pretty common around the UK. Would love to dive and visit San Diego, looks awesome!
Bit weird by the RNLI, you’d think they would give you plenty of room🤷🏻♂️

@@yamyamfishing Fair comments, I'll stand my ground next time 😂. Funny you'd say that as I'm in the process of making a flag now!

@@OceanicMatt depends how far out you were diving it was behind the large rocky reef, there are thousands of wrecks along that coast
@@mikeystreets9333 I'd say I was about 500m from the beach, around the reef but not past it.
Hey mate, what is the tool you use to wrap your float line around called
Cheers from Australia 🤙
Hi Aaron! It's a wooden line winder that I made up myself! There's a video on my channel of the build if you're interested 🤙
I lure fish Sennen for Bass up the Gwenva end
Is that by boat? I've yet to dive around that area! Sennen's awesome isn't it.
@@OceanicMatt shore
Nice veedio
Thanks!
My friend lure fishes for Bass there. He hates you 😂
😂 Spearos in general or me personally 😂😂
@@OceanicMatt Ha! I won't be mean. Generally.

Thanks for watching!
Atlantic coast New England, Indians and colonists would use ocean catch for fertilizer.
There must have been A LOT of smelly fields and gardens! Don't think my neighbours would appreciate me adopting this 😂
It's commonly used worldwide for that purpose
You do know the size limit on Bass?
42cm
There are still quite a few areas around the country where all bass have to be returned
@@jayinwood647 True, from what I understand those 6 areas in Cornwall are all tidal estuaries/ rivers.. So Sennen cove should be fine, unless I've missed something of course.
@@OceanicMatt I think you might have but I didn’t want to accuse
@@jayinwood647 OK, could you tell me where this information is so I can make sure I'm better prepared next time? Cheers
