Bronze Whaler Sharks in Tauranga Reef

Not the best video in the world! even upside down.. LOL but a little clip of 2 sharks that hung around my little boat this weekend. I have to admit was getting scary as they rushed around on the surface -- shame as I didn't get any footage of that...way too busy looking and bringing in my Kingfish.. then a couple of minutes later one crashed in the side of the boat!
 I was bringing up another rat Kingfish and the sharks started to move incredibly fast/worked up trying to eat it, rushing under and around the boat in a bit of a frenzy... Next thing both sharks went for the Kingfish-- I pulled it quickly out of the way into the boat and one shark rose up - crashed into the side of the boat rocking/tipping the boat on a angle almost threw me and my brother off balance and over!  One of my fishing rods went overboard-- but was able to get it back...  FUN but SCARY

A Little Marco eating the last bit of Kingfish it stole

I ended up catching it a little bit later -- thankfully the hooks pulled at the side of the boat.

It’s the end of February



Today went for a walk at McLaren Falls and took a few photos…
A baby swan hitching a ride – a little Dragon Fly.
While I have no photos… on Saturday was out fishing with Richard my Brother– caught 5 Kingfish and then had a couple of massive sharks around the boat for a while.. one ended up crashing into the side of the boat as it was trying to eat my Kingfish!  Almost threw us out in the water!  A Little bit scary!
