Took a rock-hop yesterday at Look-at-me-now Headland. Swam in along the N end looking for crays. Lots of good structure but the huge numbers of small crays were nowhere to be found. Found 3 smallies under a rock with a small Wobby and a tiny Abalone. Water was weird, very patchy. Areas almost milky with really poor viz and then patches with murky 9m viz. Unfortunately it looks like the weekend might be a blow-out if the weather prediction is anything to go by. However, I often find that just before a dramatic weather change you could get lucky. A friend of mine went in around The Lighthouse and there were lots of kingfish. I think he may have used the word THOUSANDS. I certainly hope they are around on the weekend. There are several areas which afford a safe anchorage and make for pleasant diving even if there is serious chop/surge.
I read an article regarding an acquaintance of mine who was badly shook up by a White off Perth. The shark sounds like it may well have been over 6m long. Gyula does not spook easily and when I last spoke to him, he recounted as many as 4 previous encounters, so it is not as if he is unfamiliar with the beasts. Seems the shark pursued an active interest in him and the boat for quite some time. Easy to joke about it after the fact but at the time it would be extremely frightening.
