So what does one do when the fishing starts off badly? .....but take some nice shots of Swallow's on a yacht.:wink:
Headed out to Pt.Hacking this morning, early start 5.30am, put the boat in @ Gray's Point. The day started out well when we hooked a nice Jewfish on a 7" Gulp, got a look at him and he would have gone around 8kg's, however my mate Bill's line decided to part company at the leader knot!! :x
Then hooking and landing a nice Lizard (Flathead) @ around 65cm's only to have it shake the pliers and drop back in the drink(whilst trying to get a photo) as I pointed to Bill at the time we were about to drift onto a yacht! :x

Boat traffic on this lovely day was horrendous!
................that's fishing :roll:

C & C most welcome

Cheers
Marc

The first two shots a good with great poses but the background lets them down. Number 3 is superb!

Agree Andrew, a natural perch would have been preferable, but that's quite hard to come by at times.
