SALMON on the surface... you ripper.... no lure in my bag, so on with a fresh cuttlie tentacle, and a sinker, picked my spot, and gave it what for.... EXACTLY in the swirling water, about a foot or so in front of the direction they were moving.... waiting.... OOPS... up pops a friggen scuba diver in a hurry... oops... sorry mate... got some great pics on my phone of him when he popped his head up, and then came in to shore...i never said a word, as i would have burst out laughing..AND IVE GOT WITNESSES.... hahahahah... too old bloke there from queensland, AND the local fisheries officer seen the guy come into shore...waiting on sandy whiting to email me the pics....no snapper today.

marko 0 Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Shame you didn't hook up with the diver, apparently they make an excellent live bait for white pointers, then you definately would have had the catch of a life time, especially if Sandy Whiting caught it on camera. Would have been a life time of bragging rights, could have won a trophy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lure crazy 0 Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 When I was 15 or 16 fishing at the Bluff at Victor, I thought id hooked a big ray, no kicks but was moving. I fought it for a few minutes before gaining line and a diver came up. Id hooked him around the belt and when I spoke to him after he said he was trying to trick me until id managed to tire him out. :woohoo: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

marko 0 Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Hey rocknev, I have a mate who does a fair bit of diving, maybe if you tell me where you're goin to give it a go for the snapper I could get him to put a monster one on your hook? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

marko 0 Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Yeah mate, if the snapper doesn't come to the party maybe we could spray paint a couple of monster bream red, if we tank the guys up on a few coldies they probably wouldn't notice the difference! What ya reckon? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What ya reckon?always amased me just how similar the are sometimes.the changing colour of the snapper gets me... ive caught then deep red, almost white, pink, and a few times they have been almost black, and look so much like a bream its not funny.

marko 0 Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Yeah your right Nev regarding bream/snapper, when I have had a couple of coldies even a drummer looks like a fat snapper to me! Maybe all the recent rain has diluted my one good brain cell! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rocknev 2 Posted June 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 thanks sandywhiting for sending me the pic.... missing the other 3 pics, but this will give you an idea of how close he came in... this was after he had already came to shore and took his tanks off, and was heading back out to retrieve a float and jig for another bloke.he swam UNDER my line.this is my 2 piece snyderglas im giving a run for a while...

marko 0 Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Nev those bubbles you saw coming from the diver, didn't come from his tanks mate. Can't you tell the bubbles are brown, he obviously shat himself when your sinker klonked him on his scone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

( its funny though when ever i use 2 sinkers, it always seems to bust on the cast, with the sinkers heading a friggen long way out past where boats seem to anchor... sorry again lads....)
