Competitive Fishing with no Fishes

The title of this post more or less describes how weekends competition went. Thus, no fish. Luckily, I was not the only person who had the same problem. Out of bit less than 40 competitors, only 9 got fish. I did not even take any photos, since I desperately tried to get that fish.

Water was somewhat between 9 to 13 degrees of celsius. I did 71 dives (which is not that much, considering 4 hours competition time) and maximum depth was 6.7 meters. Dive times were pathetic, somewhere around 50-60 secs....

Summers first competition

I'm going to attend the first spearfishing competition of the season tomorrow at Kotka. I have not been able to practice that much but I hope to catch at least some fish. Anyway, it is always nice to go spearfishing in nice waters where there is (at least) a chance to catch big fish. Of course I won't get any big fishes, but it is always nice to know that it might be possible.

Underwater photos

Last Saturday we went to dive to a small lake (lampi in Finnish) called Leinonen. Water there is quite clear and due to this it is quite a nice place to dive and take photorgraphs. We spent in water (which was around 12-14 degrees of celcius on surface) around one hour. Here are some of the photos I took.

A crawfish in it's cave.

Perch.

Roe of perch. Perch is quite an interesting fish since it is the only (according to my knowledge) fish that produces these weird ribbons of roe.

Some underwater trees.

Again, a tree.

And, finally, a tree!

And, yes. One video as well. A school of fishes (särki).
