Just a warning to all offshore fishos to always keep your eyes open on the water.
Last week fishing Wide Caloundra at about 5.30 am - yacht travelling at about 15 knots heading directly for me - started to get worried at about the 100 metre mark - had to drive up while on anchor to let yacht pass (missed me by no more than 20 metres - scary!!!) - hurled abuse but saw no one - got rego number off sail and reported to coastguard at Mooloolaba. #
My advice - ALWAYS HAVE SOMEONE ON THE LOOK OUT!
PS It was a ripper fishing trip except for this incident.
