Only a few days left to go but thought you might be interested.
Citizen science project 'Redmap' is hosting a fishers photographic competition.
Good luck!

Hopefully my daughter will post a couple of shots from her video today:)
Headed out with four of us today for just snorkell and wildlife watch. As my eldest daughter snorkelled around some of the headlands close to Narooma bar my youngest daughter spotted gannets hammering a school of bait offshore. After calling my daughter and friend back to the boat we raced out to see what they were feeding on.
I dropped the pair about 50m from all the action so they could reach the bait without the boat scaring them down. Dolphins that had been chasing our boat joined the hunt as did several seals, diving down to around 8m my daughter discovered the fish being targeted to be pilchards. Her friend watching from the surface was amazed to see either a minke or brides whale rush behind her.
Staying with the bait several of these high speed hunting whales swam through the bait scooping up bait as they went. From the boat at times often all we could see was white water as they lunged across the surface,at times skimming past them. To say they were excited by the experience is an understemeant, this will be a day they will remember for a while and with some pretty decent video footage too.
Tomorow sbs are doing interviewing and filming the eldest (15) for her contributions in marine science, hopefully we can find a few black cod to go with their filming.

Hey everyone
I'm Georgia, and I'm 15yo.My dad recently joined, but being the one who normally catches all the fish I thought I would join as well
haha
I've been fishing since before I could walk & spend every spare moment in or on the water. I do a mix of fishing but my favourite is targeting big fish on light gear. I also do a bit of underwater hunting: research & fish survey work for universities: & I like to draw fish...Basically I'm just obsessed with fish.
Will post again soon.

I have been experimenting with lots of different fish species with some cool results. One tip, if you do bake heads then it leaves the oil in the bones resulting in a yellow finish. Boiling them after baking, then a scrub with washing up liquid gets the oil out which whitens them.
