YES MATE...WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THEM??" bro calmly replies..." WELL...THEY LOVELY EATING...." true story... the poor bloke was horrified, but everyone had a good laugh.bro couldnt believe that people paid money to do this tour, and got to see a dolphin no more than 20mtrs away.hell come to whyalla.... you can hand feed them here.theywill even come to the back of the boat while its at the ramp...mum, dad and a baby.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mlv5HF2WCH0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thefunkychicken 0 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 This is a bloody good country we live in where you can do this on the way home from a fish. People elsewhere would give their left leg to have an experience like that.They are just magnificent creatures. But to think, there are people who have been cruel to them in the past.This video shows what a trusting, inquisitive, and friendly animal they are. Top notch footage. Good on ya for treating them so well.Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They are gorgeous Del , they love the waves at the back of the boat and jumping in them, and then come in for a feed off your boat. Sad and horrific thing is that at one stage youths had been seen attracting the dolphins with Tommy ruff fish, and then dropping large rocks onto them, I think that one was even killed, not in this incident but another ( I think ) they are so friendly and used to be fed by us locals.. Which is a No No here.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SandyWhiting 0 Posted September 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Yea they are not real good to have hanging around your boat when your trying to fish.. Here most of them swim in with you as your entering the marina, they wait lol, see what feed they can get.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cowboymick 0 Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 yeah there were three or four hangin around Torrens Island Bridge yesterday thrashing around in the shallows chasing fish...I cast in a couple of times with small bites before they showed up but once they rocked up and seemed to be stayin I pack my gear and went the other side of the power plant driveway, they don't seem to go around that far Quote Link to post Share on other sites
