Alvon Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 SImply WOW..Would have been an amazing trip made all the better with a few beers...Can wait to see more pics..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buccal Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Always get that funny feeling inside when looking at pics of places where the fish that have a impact on my life come from.The absolute sheer diversity of these fish almost seem infinite and looking down into the depths full of boulders and churning wake zones triggers the imagination for ideas and fish types.What's down there ??? What does it look like down there ???Then there's those licsenced wild collectors living the dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likoma Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 Yip. it was good to catch up with David at Red Zebra. They had just had a boat return from a Northern expedition hence the heavily stocked entry tanks.Regarding diving I spent all my time in the water. Freediving and on tanks. I spent a lot of time ins the weed line and muck to get hours of excellent footage. Dosed myself up nicely to kill anything after.We are putting together another trip in the future for some friends if anyone is keen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tori Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Great pics gives me ideas on how to set up a 4x2x1 mtr pond im setting up for summer. One thing I have wondered is how cold the water is in the lakes at 30 meters or so is it the same as on top or does it get colder the deeper you go . Where are the temps quoted taken at the surface or at the depth the fish are collected? Look forwarded to seeing & reading more cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
