darkmuncan Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Hi, i just got back from a 6 day trip to Coffs Harbour (NSW North Coast) and the Solitary Islands... Stayed on our 58' boat and fished and dived til we went crazy... Here is an 11kg Yellowfin Tuna (1 of 3 we caught) i caught trawling off South Solitary Island... We also caught Kingfish, Dolphin Fish, Rainbow Runners, Coral Cods (Spearfishing), Skip Jack Tuna's, Benitos and an annoying little 4ft Whaler Shark. We Dived on North Solitary and all the following pics are taken from the area called 'Anenome Bay' which is a small bay about 150m2 completely carpeted in Anenomes and inhabited by about 1000 Clown fish and assorted other goodies. Truly amazing place to be. Water was 25° and visiblilty was about 30-35m. Depth was about 15m and pics were taken on a Sony Cybershot with 2 spotlights. Enjoy... This Trumpet Fish was about 4ft long... awesome to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parrdog Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Awesome pics mate . You would swear you were diving much further north if you didn't tell us where the shots were taken. Thanks for the look, Jamie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
