Positive Norm, we dont get any Great whites up here... the Megalodon ate them all :unsure:

I'll send her back down as we are running out of food for her, she started snacking on divers but it's giving her a hell of a wind problem ;)

We gave up fishing for them up here, every time you got a hookup with a good sized Marlin, a 5000lb plus Mako would just chomp it to bits :angry::angry:

 

 

It's the barracuda that are the problem down here

 

Baits ripped to shreds before anything decent can get to them. :(

Poole skipper hooks into Orca!

Skipper Trevor "The Flying Gaff" Small from Poole put his crew over a huge shoal of small Orca today. When asked if this was one of his usual marks Trevor replied, "Nope I just used my random number generator as normal."
