Yeah, yesterday we would have
Yeah, yesterday we would have seen around 15 whales near Rotto. We dud see a very small calf in about 8m of water less than 2 km off trigg beach, no sign of it's mum. A bit sad, pretty sure it was lost as it came up to our boat a few times but nothing we could do.
I am at mullallo this morning and a great white just cruised past and shut the beach....... The fate of the little calf does not look good.

I was fishing 3 mile camp near Gnaraloo in early September and the whales were in plague proportions. We had a couple go under the tinny-interesting look on the sounder!!
