Inspired by a few other folks sharing their great pics I thought I would do the right thing and share what I captured in the last few weeks... It's been great boating weather up this way of late... light offshore winds and tiny/minimal swell. Mate had a week off work so we did a few days fishing offshore on his boat & took the camera gear along for the ride.
Day 1 just hanging around Noosa Heads & a few fishing spots incl. Hall's Reef then off A-bay & Sunshine >> magic day

View attachment 1607455Made our way back around DI side as the westerly wind was picking up... spotted a lone whale splashing around right next to the headland which seems a bit early in the season... maybe they decided to make a run for it before the late May arctic blast...? We then we cruised in closer to the beach to take a few more pics with the bird and spotted these fellas nearby....

View attachment 1607485Oh yeah we caught a few fish but nothing overly exciting... quite a few busted lines when the big ones jumped on, unfortunately couldn't get them in the boat
happy days either way
