Killing time
Submitted by Faulkner Family on Wed, 2020-05-06 13:37
Its one of them days . Few deliveries to do in the morning and the a truck to unload in the arvo. Not much can be planned on days like these so off to kill some time down near the harbor.
Wast much realy on the bite but did get a couple of firsts . First Queenie small but it still counts . Also managed to get 2 of the black spot gars which fight much harder than t he standard ones .
Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this monster of a manta Ray barrel rolling right in front of me only about 30 mtrs from shore , managed to get one pic of it (Not the best) while rolling then got a short video of it before it took off. Awesome to see . Its that large white patch in the middle

Queenies are awesome fun
Queenies are awesome fun when they get bigger. The tails on those black spot gars look big which would explain why they fight better.

Looking at the tail
You can easily see that the bottom lobe of the tail is quite a bit longer than the top, and as davewillo says there is a fair bit of difference in the fighting qualities of the black dot gars as against your run of the mill gar

Plenty of squid in the area
Plenty of squid in the area as well, used to catch a few at the fishing club with the weigh station in Dampier, good fun while throwing the stick for the dogs.
