HAWKES BAY 28.02.10

Photos and still frames from video, a few miles SW of Bare Island 27 Feb 2010. There are two sharks, a small one about 4-feet, which stuck around for a while and gave us some great photo/video shots. A few minutes later, he was chased away by an 8-foot bruiser. I got a little video of him, including a nice close sweep.

COROMANDEL 31.01.10

Hi Guys,

Here’s a couple of pictures of a 25.05 KG king I shot on Friday at Coromandel while on a ‘Family camping trip’

The weather was O.K and the sea was varying from 1 – 1.5 mtr rolling swells to 1 mtr swells with .5 mtrs wind chop, there was a heap of selp in the water which added to the mediocre vis.

Over the 4 or so days we where there between me and my dive buddy we managed a couple around 11 kgs, 1 @ 16kgs, 1 @ 22kgs and this one @ 25 kgs. Safe to say we have enough kingi in the freezer to last well into summer.

Hi Guys,

I took the advice given on your website about butter fish and it all payed of yesterday for me and my best freind George.  We shot 16 butters and made the family pretty happy.

TI POINT 11.01.10

Hi Guys,

Just thought I’d share this with you, shot my first boar fish yesterday a Ti point, vis was a good 6 – 8 mtrs on the last of the incoming up started to go to the pack as the tide turned. Found this fella in amongst the weed hiding in a crack, we watched 5 – 6 guys dive all around him earlier while we were diving the weedline, and while we were coming back I decided to be a bit sneaky in the weed on the back of the weedline and just take my time.

I bought one of the gay looking little flags for my Rob Allen float yesterday and now I have one, would feel a little venerable not having it, makes you feel a whole lot more visible when you are in high traffic areas.



Cheers Jimmy

HAWKES BAY 2.01.10

Hi Guys,

A few of us shot out to the local mussel farm and Pania Reef today 2.1.10.

Beaut visibility for here of around 15 metres with large groups of Kingfish encountered at all locations. These ones weighed in at the 13.5kg mark.

It was great bringing these ones home to the family, we also baked the heads up and enjoyed an island style feast. What fun rewarding day.

Thanks
