Hello everyone, this is my first post on the forum. I haven't been fishing/crabbing for long so I don't have any amazing photo's to show.
 
My first crab I caught about a month ago-
 
 
 
Thanks 

Nah, not my missus or sister, but my step mum.  We went fishing on the weekend and she caught this.

My 47Lb King Salmon from Alaska last year. MAN WHAT A TRIP 

Dams on a friends private property.

Went to Burra for a few days caught 54 in total.
 
 

Haven't been on for a while thought I'd share my monster cray with all you guys and make your mouths water got it out of coffins with a tail snare the other day. And yes that is a carton of beer it is hugging and making look small.

Yep! That was Im pretty sure when it was! I also freaked out abit! Got out of there pretty quick! I thought you couldn't get tsunami's here... But I sure as hell wasn't going to hang around to find out I was wrong the hard way!
I'm glad someone else saw it, it's had me puzzeld how no one seemed to know of it happening.
It was genuinely scary how much and how quick it happened! Dirtied the water up and dumped a load of weed in the shallows as far as I could see in both directions! Ended my days fishing in 15 minutes of me getting there.

While early morning fishing/squidding off the rocks at Memory Cove with my son about 10 years ago we noticed a strange shape buzzing around in the water near our feet, pops its head up and its a Little penguin. Cool to see, but it gets more weird..... It susses us out for a few minutes then scrambles out onto the rocks and stands with us! In fact it stood right between us. "What is it doing Dad?"  Well as I don't do penguin I guessed at it either being ill or it was mightily lost and confused and thought we were big penguins! My 10 year old daughter joined us on the rocks and was so excited to see this beautiful little creature and as all kids like to do she wants to pat it. I said there is no way it will let you and as all kids like to do she proved me wrong! Obviously we didn't want to overly interfere with this creature, and once she had touched it and proved me wrong we left it to own devices and we fished on. It would occasionally have a swim and then get back out and hang with us again. Weird as! We finished up and as soon we left the penguin jumped in and I thought that was that.... Glanced back once, and then twice, and on the second occasion watched in amazement as a sea eagle swooped down from behind where we were standing and plucked our little friend from the water and carried it off to the other side of the cove. Without a word I walked on hoping to god that my daughter wouldn't look back, but of course she did, and then we got "wow Dad look at that big bird"... "oh what's it got, it's carrying something".... "on nooo the penguin Dad, it's got the penguin"!!! That's when you do your best explanation of that's how nature works, blah, blah, blah, but obviously that doesn't help a small person who has just lost her new favourite animal in the world, ever!!!
That year we were unlucky enough to come across many dead emus on the drive in to Memory Cove, a dead seal on the beach and the loss of our little friend. We renamed it Memorial Cove that year!

Many years ago now, my brother & I were fishing in the semi reef area (when there were plenty of KG Whiting around).  We caught our bag of fish & started heading back late afternoon when my brother said "whats that water shooting upwards over there" about 1km away. On closer inspection it was a whale with its calf. We hung around for an hour or so at a safe distance watching them & no other boats around. Even rang one of the TV stations to send a helicopter but they said they were too busy with other news!!.
 
Anyway it was an amazing sight for our local waters so close in & in shallow water. Did not have a camera & the mobile phones then did not have a camera function so no photos unfortunately. I will always remember this.

Brankin i was on the water that day it was a few years ago ay?? i was sitting out on the deeper silt grounds area and my decky said too me what the hell is that..it was a wall of water coming at us prob only about 2m high but it put the creeps up me as didnt know what was gonna follow  only time its ever happend and definatly wasnt wash or wake

I got 1 for you mate!
Fishing off the beach near Glenelg, high tide, in summer. ...
Next minute the water retreated the length of westbeach breakwater within about 15-20 seconds causing almost Rapids from so much movement, then all rushed back in?? Like miniature synami??
No one else I've asked seems to ever have seen it apart from another South african fisherman I know, who can't find any explanation from anyone either? No ships coming past, only slight breeze...
If there was a person swimming, they would have been sucked out a fair way with no hope of swimming against it.
Only seen it once, but as I say... No locals seem to ever have? (Not that I know many people)

What have you be looking at on the internet, Hoopsy? lol
