Today's Fishy Business

Took a cool water plunge today with clear water and a gentle swell with Nick Bouma and enjoyed the vivid greens and pinks underwater.

Along with the speccy algae we saw a heap of different fish including several large Dusky Morwongs, Horseshoe Leatherjackets, Silver Sweep, Herring Cale, Scaly Fin, and one lonely PJ.
