St Mary's

[mark]

finally got around to developing a film (remember them!). last year I bought a disposable underwater camera, was 7 quid or something, thought it might be interesting. basically hung it on the end of the line, 12oz weight underneath, set self timer and then drop it down. give it a minute, haul it up, wind on self timer down again and so on

so finally sent the film of to get developed , final result, 30 artistic green blurs and a few with something vaguely worth seeing

can't remember where exactly I took these, somewhere around st mary's/yellow can though

just tried to enhance a bit in photoshop - looks like someone maybe lost an anchor down there??

great Idea that mark , and they came out ok, just ........... theres something missing from them all ....... ah yes thats it .... fish

Think I might try that myself this year, will wait for the silly season in shallow water first then also maybe in mackerel land ........ whoa ... great Idea mark ..... do they all come with a timer as standard feature?

We have plans for the filming of the mackerel

might of just spotted a fish on another one will scan it in shortly

the camera was from lidl when they had all the boaty stuff last summer, kept the housing, need to find something that fits it now

now, new game! there may or may not be 2 fish in this picture, so instead of spot the ball spot the fish!

 

[Norman]

I should have known shouldn`t I

 

[Norman]

is that a penn levelwind in there ..........., you wer`nt over the adastra were you mark?

We have plans for the filming of the mackerel

its our cunning new plan to avoid mooring fees at the RQ, we're trading pansy in for an ex russian submarine, just up periscope then sneak through the lock on freeflow

 

[Norman]

nah , dont think you`ll get that one past Matt, he`s got sub nets in the lock......
we have to clean boat thouroughly after each trip incase theres any seaweed sticking out forrad or aft els it`ll get measured and the fees go up

 

[mark]

on the bigger version, it does look like there might be a fish there honest, top right

least said about fees the better at the moment

 

[Norman]

LOL I can see the head of a seal with two eyes smack centre buried in the sand/mud ................. then again I can see dragons in the clouds

 

[Norman]

not many fishing weights ............ lol they must self destruct ..

 

[SIXFOOTSTEVE]

I'm sure I can see some Roy d 's stuck to one of them rocks ....

Great idea mark ,and some canny pics as well , Norman when I'm fixed try lowering me over the side with a camera

 

[Norman]

only if it`s in 5ft water Steve

 

[mark]

found this on t'interweb. Interesting to see how the fish react, guess the redlight on the camera attracts them...... might be an avenue worth exploring
