Two Rocks Sunday
Went out from two rocks in a SW direction till we got to the 40m dropoff area in behind direction bank. Going with the 12Knot NE wind was good and the forecast was for it to drop around mid morning (Hmmmm) As we were heading out we passed at least 3 whales fully breaching and saw large spouts here and there. Lines went in heaps of bites from the usual pickers and within 5 minutes or so I landed a nice fat Breaksea cod - thought about putting him back cause I was there for Dhuies, Baldies and Pinkies first but decided to keep him as he was one of the biggest I'd caught so far. Kept drifting then got my PB Baldie - a bloody ripper fat 58cm long one. I was wrapped with him, cause I prefer Baldie over Dhuie for eating. After not much happening we went deeper into the 50 - 60m line nothing there. Came back in to the 40m line and got a Dhuie 48cm long back he went . A friggin big whale came up about 30m from us so we moved real quick. By then the NE that was supposed to drop was blowing its F$%^&N guts out even harder into a large swell and conditions were pretty miserable and the drift was fast. We decided to come in. Heading in the sun was right in my face and i was a bit worried about hitting one of the many whales around us, I couldnt go fast cause of the conditions though. Coming back I saw something about 200m off our port bow that was definitely dolphin shaped and black in colour but far to big to be a dolphin it was about 4-5 times the size of a full grown dolphin. Could see it perfectly as it was it full speed leeping through the air over the waves like it was chasing something or in a hury to get somewhere. Id heard reports of killer whales seen off our coast this summer and wondered if Id just seen one but from what i could make out it was black all over with no white patches, an awesome site Ill never forget just seeing this thing power over the waves was incredible. Got back to about 8km off shore in 28 m, we landed two little dhuies around 30cm long then came home. All in all still had a good day, got my two demersals, saw whales and best of all me brother didnt catch a thing
