clutch Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 ....and ended up at Goat Island again ...an hour north of me First pic is a beach at Tawharanui which is a park then the rest are just a few of the fish. I forgot that being summer there would be plenty of snorkellers and swimmers......it would appear the fish must be used to it Could have got some good pics but the swimmers were stirring up the water too much Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PW! Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Are they snapper? The big one is massive... do they feed them like at Lord Howe Island??? Mate i'd be putting a line in for sure... a 150lb snorkler goes well on 6lb braid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grantm Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Wow what a waste of fish. Surely someone can come along and scoop them all up with a big net and sell them overseas for a fraction of their worth. Certainly would clean up those pesky Snapper getting in the way of that swimmer. He cant be happy with that. Then hopefully once their all scooped up and gone your waterways will reach the high standards of our mighy Hawkesbury. One day Clutch you too may be able to enjoy what we refer to as our own 'private paradise & wasteland'. I feel sorry for you having to deal with all that anoying marine life.

Sharky Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 It would be awsome to feed those fish. Reminds me of beach comber Island in fiji. Great picks once again clutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Can we assume its a marine park and no fishing allowed or can we come over and have a fish there. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clutch Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 (edited) one question... what exactly are those blue fish? Chris, they are Blue Mao Mao and there seem to be heaps of them and Martin; yes that is a Marine Park and you can only fish outside the boundary Edited February 14, 2006 by clutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Clutch. This may be a silly question , but why are they there? What is the attraction that brings fish that large into a small / shallow area Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clutch Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 Clutch. This may be a silly question , but why are they there? What is the attraction that brings fish that large into a small / shallow area Geoff Geoff, You can find those fish in the shallows around the rocks anywhere as well as out deeper, however these ones seem to know that they are protected and even tho you arent supposed to be feeding them they seem to be looking for just that and becoming quite a large congregation.......I didnt notice anyone feeding them I'll post a pic of the Island and the area around it that is protected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
