Shed1 Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) Quiet day yesterday 1 flounder 30 cm then this at the end! My wife thought she had snagged (again) but then up this came! Got to be a PB for her on 15 pound line. Came to the side of the boat without a problem and let me remove the hook. I reckon this bloke knows the drill Edited May 13, 2012 by Shed1
dhype Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 I just checked the record's section and there is currently no record entry for Turtles!!
Shed1 Posted May 13, 2012 Author Posted May 13, 2012 1336902070[/url]' post='442976']I've never seen a turtle in the bay! Turned up in Yarra Bay, he took a chicken strip on the bottom. I thought he was a bit docile so it may not have been well. Apart from looking like a snag once it started coming up it just followed the line up and hung by the boat while we took the hook out. Probably could have lifted him into the boat. Not even sure if they should be around here this time of the year, would have expected them to need some warmer water.
Keflapod Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Hi Shed1, I also caught 1 two weeks ago on the other side of the bay. I didn't post it because I thought someone would hassle me about it. I Tony

They would be a protected species I guess but as long as its released it shouldn't be a problem. Certainly broke up an otherwise quiet trip! CheersSteve Edited May 14, 2012 by Shed1
Plumb Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Does that mean the bay is cleaner than ever??? or just lucky.
Keflapod Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Does that mean the bay is cleaner than ever??? or just lucky. I reckon that there is just an abundance of food in the bay for a number of animals. I though turtles ate mainly jellyfish so I hope there aint too many of the jellies around.... We would have a turtle invasion.... Why can't we get the turtles to eat the cormorants..... Tony
onearmedfisho Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 turtle which eats cormerants ! just what i need had so many occasions where livies have been scarce and got one and threw it out just to be eaten by the annoying flappy things [/quote They're pretty cool when you see em' though! See a fair few around the entrance to the hacking on squid missions...
