hey guys,
went for a spear at mordi today.... A COMPLETE DISASTER!!! the day started well with 3 of us out there and within 10 secs of getting in the water my mate got a good bream. i pulled it off the spear for him and attached to the float ( around my ankle ). anways after about 10mins of chasing fish non-stop i turned around to check on my float, i pulled the rope towards me and there was no float of the end!!! <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':th' /> <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/crying.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> that'll teach me to check my knots every trip! anyways we got out of the water and searched for it for about half an hour and then gave up. we got back in the water and by that time... ALL THE FISH HAD GONE! <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> We kept swimming for about another half hour and then i spotted a school of australian salmon. they swam off quick as a flash and that was that... could this day get any worse??? <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':o' /> i didnt think so until i found a school of large mullet about 3m away from me! i took aim and fired away with my sling. i hit the fish on its back and it had 2 prongs in it. i relaxed and began to pull it towards me. the fish looked like it was dead instantly but after about 5 seconds it suddenly came back to life. it wriggled its way off the spear and took off towards his friends. so thats two good sized fish wasted in an hour. but wait theres more. i spotted some more mullet and pulled up the rubber on my sling and *SNAP* it broke... <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':angry:' /> <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/crying.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> i swam back to shore and got out. my other friend soon got out too and took his mask and snorkel off before he got out. by this time the wind had picked up and the visibility had worsened. he didnt notice until he was out of the water that his mask was missing as he was holding onto his snorkel and when he went back to search for it there was no sign. so if anyone finds a blue and white float around mordi with a bream on it just know its mine and please contact me...
