No Time to Sleep

Blacks Beach, March 2007

Oh man, this post has been a long time coming.

We all know that the predators come out at night. William, John and I set out to the beach to see what leviathans lurk in the night. Armed with our Home-Depot Special PVC rod holders and 2 bucks worth of marginally fresh squid, we trekked the km down to a twilight high tide.

Our first visitor was a pregnant perch. Williams somewhat blurry face is filled with delight. Perch are live bearers, meaning that little baby fish squirt out if your not gentle.



Our second fish was a bit of a surprise, a Spot Fin Croaker. These fish normally snuff through the sand looking for crustaceans.




Right before we had to leave, guess who decides to play? A baby guitar fish. An odd looking fella with a shovel-shaped head sand a elongated tail like the neck of a guitar.






There's a lot happening in the surf in the moonlight.
