For the Non Believers
The Best Footage is like the X Files, "It's Still Out There Somewhere"
Awesome Trip Paul, opened my eyes to a new way of spending valuable time with " Like Minded People"
Coral Trout for breakfast,
Baldie for lunch,
Chops, Cray, Squid & Dhuie for dinner was just too hard to take.
Outdoinit & Mrs Outdoinit, Rusty and the Team a Big Thanks

School of dhuies
We had a great trip and I also have some footage of a small school of dhuies and and other fish happily swimming around together...missed out on seeing the larger schools that Paul has talked about.
I thought dhuies were fairly solitary but the footage says otherwise. I can report that bronze whalers like to school up....5 of them swimming around you is a bit unnerving.
Full report and video clip should be up tomorow.
regards

Mating season
Hey Wal do you know when mating season is for dhuies ???
And question for Paul any idea if these schooling dhuies are residents to that particular lump/ ledge etc or possibly schooling up from other areas for a particular reason ?? Seems like alot of fish for one spot !!

Same here Spinksy
In my scuba days came across a huge school of dhue's, snapper and buff's. Just swimming around a bommy. Caught our crays watching the school, and as soon as we made the surface out came the rods. Not a bite.
A quick freedive to check and they were all gone, apart from the buffs. I think they do move about when in a school.
Most dives I have only seen maybe 5odd mooching around bommies.

Yeah cransy
You get those days where they are everywhere i think after a full moon or whatever and there are schools of them and other days not a thing or just the odd straggler..
