Finally some good Exxy weather
Headed out on friday arvo chasing a few squid and ended up with 23 nice sized ones, probably dropped that again but had an awesome time getting inked in glassy gulf conditions.
Today was looking decent, it was blowing its guts out in the gulf but as you can see from the first photo, Tantas was magic. The water clarity was the most crystal clear I have seen it, just sensational, would have been awesome for the whale sharkers until the tide started moving. We trolled around for a while looking for a bill with no love and almost bumped into a flighty whale shark. Seeing as there was little action on the surface we moved into the deep water and found a nice school of goldies, mixed with trevs and amberjacks that really got the back hurting (along with the customary haul of sharks). After getting a nice bag we moved into the shallows but the current was howling through, the upside was we found many pods of whales on their annual migration north. Just before these photos were taken one did the customary full barrel roll about 30m from the boat, announcing their presence for the season. (Unfortunately the camera wasn't ready otherwise it would have been one sick photo)
The other good thing was back at the ramp when one of the whale shark 'deckies' was helping to retrieve the boat, UNBELIEVABLE!!! I would loved to have got a photo but it may/may not have done justice - one way or another, it topped off my day just nicely!
Cheers,
