Drool over these

[snelly1971]

Headed down the Coast today here in Tassie...Whilst travelling down we seen a huge pod of Dolphins and seal chasing a school of bait fish...I have seen these balls before on Tv, but never in real life...

We had a great day on the crays bagging 46 ....

Another Perfect Day in Paradise

Bastard:D

Or should I say a rare Pearler of a Day on Tassies West Coast

Your still a Bastard though Mick;D

I bet they ate as well as the ones you served up for us last year.:D

Good on you Mick keep it up, The boss and I will return and I will get out there with you.

Weather's been crap up here, rain, rain and more rain, though not as bad as an hour or so up the road, there rain has turned into flood rain. Same up parts of Queensland as well.

Great pic's what are the balls?

See you later on

Very nice Mick.

I see the boat seems to handle the calm water ok ;D

The bait balls are common on the east coast during "tuna time".
Off St Helens, we saw a ball so tightly packed by dolphins, seals and tuna that the top fish were literally being lifted a foot out of the water!

Maybe there could have been a nice Bluefin lurking beneath Mick.

Cheers

Well Mick, that modified post hole digger is becoming quite famous on this website, showin its face, and its bounty, so many times in the last few weeks while us QLDer's sit here in the rain and wind. Well done son. Cheers Shawn.;d

Mick,

Nice. I thought that looked very unlike a pot hauler.

On my last trip I managed to dive somewhere that could only be accessed in the best weather. The amount of crays - and big crays was unbelievable. I could only imagine what it would be like further down the coast.

Where abouts were you?

I reckon I'll be down in about a fortnight. Hope you may be able to manage a day off - a stripey trip would be EXCELLENT!!

How did you get them? Rings?

I'm heading up to Arthur's today for a spot of fresh fishing.

Dam, thats a nice catch Mick. Great photos. Strange seeing blue sky as it was grey for nearly the whole time I was there. Looks like that new pot hauler is doing the trick. Keep wetting those lines mate. Cheers Shane
