Strangest thing you ever saw fishing?

[kc]

I saw mine today...flicking lures around a rocky point for some jacks this arvo on an early rising tide, just out from a large mangrove lined bay. In very shallow water a large mullet hit the turbo button and came charging out of the mangroves....so far so good...then out after it at full tilt comes a bloody great wild pig trying to catch the mullet with its mouth . Any way, the pig saw me and bolted back into the mangroves and I'm trying to explain to the handbrake that I just saw a bloody great pig...no more beer for me this arvo

How about sitting on your favourite jewie hole out at Bynoe harbour and you get lined up by a FLOATPLANE.......Fark......pull the anchor he IS gunna land on us.

Yeah that was an experiance.......they were dropping off something for the pearl farm.

one am on the reef in a 17 foot boat and a manta ray jumps the anchor a metre from the boat...all peaceful and quiet then it sounded like the boat was hit by a torpedo....very memorable to say the least

Ive seen some very strange things going on in the dunes at the bottom of Bribie Island. Always take the wide channel these days - ewwwww

Was in cobaki creek just behind gold coast airport floating about with the electric motor a few months ago when all of a suden a huge roo comes crashing through the trees with a dead set dingo hot after it. The roo jumped clean over the fallen tree on the bank i was casting at and the dingo had no chance so he just gave up the chase and stoped right in front of me. I stayed perfectly still and he stood there and snffed the air and instantly froze as he smelt me. For a few tence moments we both stood there like statues untill i thought ill whistle at him. He turned and spotted me and took off like a flash into the bush. Was only about 6-7meters away from him so got a real good look.(thats how i know he was a he) It loooked identical to the ones on fraser only this was right in the back yard of the gold coast!

I was slowly making my way up a skinny channel in Leeders creek idling along chatting to a work mate and my missus when i got belted in the back hard by something wet and solid , i squealed like a girl thinking i had been hit by a swamp dog( yes i was p#ssed) when i looked down to see a big tarpon flappin round on the floor looking mighty pleased with himself. The worst part my missus had the f#@%ing video camera out and caught the whole thing on tape.

I cant really remember anything strange, apart from when i was about 9 i went fishing with my old man down the local creek, cast out, felt something, yanked the rod up was bending the rod like crazy was reeling it in so slowly. Got so excited but turned out to be a shopping trolley lol

one of my best mates Steve was out in his tinny off turros on the south coast in NSW with his uncle ( i was at work) he caught this unbelievable footage.. well worth a look.

[tropicrows]

[2BNVS1]

[bennykenny]

yeah pretty cool stuff... My mate steve says he was crappn his pants but at the same time was just in awe of this extremely luck encounter.. about a year earlier i was surfing at a beach not far from turross and right on dusk had a bunch of dolphins come up to me.. one came close enough and slow enough to eyeball me whilst i got to pat it (run my hand along it) it came back for seconds as well all while my girlfriend was on the beach freaking out thinking it was a shark!!!
Nature sure does turn it on some days.. Went snapper fishing landbased one morning whilst it was still a bit dark and went to put my gear down on a "rock" i wasnt paying much attention (was a bit focused on the perfect conditions) got the shock of my life when it let out a massive bark.. it was a big male seal!!! Another time i was watching a little penguin dart around a rock ledge a mate and i were fishing and we stopped and were just watching it saying how cool it was etc... then outa nowhere there was a big wooosh over our shoulders as this dirty big seaeagle plucked it from about 5 foot away from us!!! Poor little bugger.
