Whale of a time....beware

[Red October]

Yesterday fishing off Evans Head - NSW we had numerous close encounters with large humpbacks and their calves. Never seen so many and nearly had one wrapped around anchor. A little too close for comfort.

The attached report shows that one fisherman was not so lucky.http://www.dailyexaminer.com.au/news...coast/3096098/

must not let my wife see this. she reckons that, the same as there are stupid humans, there must be stupid whales too (ie. breaching too close)

Saw at least 20 in the bay today. It's like a plague.

we had one come up just near us as well, caught both lines and my son had a nice snapper on which naturally we lost, but that's fishing

Cheers
