I first noticed the school out the back with only the birds working it so I went out to it and threw some lures at it and lost 3 lures on the drop to bite offs :o then the baitfish rose to the surface .so had to get some footage of this. Was surprised to see the amount of Cobia under it pushing the school to the surface all the time, the Spotties were circling wide of it and sharks wider still, and different types of Tuna running it a smashing it as well

Great video Willo, did'nt realise that there were so many fish feeding under schools:o , did'nt see any mack though, :-/ , probably they were the fish that all you saw was a blur as they took of.

I too looked at it a couple of times, keep them comming ;)

Sensational! educational too for me. I had no idea so many varieties would feed close together like that.
Thanks

Hi TC
Cam is a Sony Handy Cam DRC-HC26
and its a Sony spotspack SPK-HCB waterproof housing. Waterproof for about 17ft
Was shooting blind at the time just pointing it at the school.
The actuall quality is a lot better on the original video before being resized for youtube, and the full version goes for about 6mins

Hey Willo
Sounds like a great camera. I imagine the case costs as much as the camera. Nice toy for the surf and beach too. We've been looking at some of the still cameras that record video onto card but the pic quality isn't flash.
I forgot about the drop in pic quality with the resize to youtube.
The guy with the whale shark should have had your camera!

We saw a bait school off Tangalooma at the beginning of Feb, it was getting smashed up, we could only see what was on the surface, watching the video of whats happening underneath well. It's only something that you would see on the T.V. but being there and witnessing this awesome event is only what one can imagine.

awesome video Willo, 2nd one we have seen from you. I'm surprised you had the stones to get in the water with all that feeding activity going on!!

Well Done.
