kurtisjohnthomas Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Headed out to fish for some Salmon today at North Head. First cast got 2kg Salmon and then this happened.
chewie Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 How Awesome was that this morning! We were fishing the school following it around and managed 3 salmon before the 100's of Dolphins came in jumping at full speed. It was as if the Dolphins had located the school with their sonar from km's away. All of a sudden there were massive Dolphins everywhere herding the Salmon and smashing them out of the water. They were on such a mission. I have the same video from a different angle. I loved how all the fishos just put down their rods and picked up the cameras as the Salmon were no longer thinking about feeding only escaping! it was awesome seeing them burst out of the water with the fish in their mouths! chewie
Basil D Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Thats amazing, wish is was me that close to those amazing mammals
mike82 Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Very cool! Must have been amazing to watch right in front of you!
kurtisjohnthomas Posted July 29, 2011 Author Posted July 29, 2011 Chewie, I think it was you I was talking to. I was in the Quintrex Freedom Sport How did you end up? We found some bigger schools of Salmon up at the Opera House. So hard to catch though
mgj Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 I left before that carnage,and I landed 6 salmon on fly-a good day.Awesome footage. Mark
Catchin Jack Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Nice footage, at least something likes eating them haha
Ray R Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 great vid mate, shame it spoilt your fishing but would have been awesome to see though..
chewie Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Hey Kurt, Yeah that was me you were talking to. That was it for our day. We pulled the pin after the dolphins. I forgot to take my fly rod out yesterday which would have been fun. I'm glad the sambos have turned up. Looks like it will be a good winter.
kurtisjohnthomas Posted July 30, 2011 Author Posted July 30, 2011 Yeah we got further up the harbour on fly. It was a nice calm day for the fly, looks even better next week
Day's Fishin Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Hi Kurt, I would say that you will remember that outing for a long time to come. If it didn't happen you would only have an ordinary salmon catch to remember and relate to in the future. Guess which one will get the most interest? Top vid mate:thumbup: Regards Jeff
Captin Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Awesome footage. Usually when you see things like and by the time you get the camera out, it's over. You were in the right place at the right time.
kurtisjohnthomas Posted July 31, 2011 Author Posted July 31, 2011 yeah it was awesome. The week before I found 4 Albatross eating a 50kg+ dead cuttlefish. So its all happening in the harbour
kurtisjohnthomas Posted August 1, 2011 Author Posted August 1, 2011 Doesn't really show how big it is, but before this photo I had taken a 5kg chunk out of it for bait
GregL Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 Awesome video! Love that stuff, it's what nature is all about!
