Life Photography-Fishing in Port Adelaide








Look how amazing the sky was, I was trying to capture the changes throughout the time, it is such a pity that I didn't bring the tripod.



















 A group of dolphins! No wonder we did't catch a lot fish!




This is the first time for me to try fishing, it was quite fun. It could get boring when you are waiting, but the moment you caught the fish is the only thing that matters for the whole event;)

I was also amazed by the changes of the sky throughout the time( we started fishing at 5am and finished around 9am) I was only using the normal digital camera from Panasonic to capture those photos.

It is great experience to go fishing with friends in Australia!
I have to recommend one popular fishing spot in Adelaide, other than the jetties, this one is out in the sea. We are planning to take a boat for fishing next time, this one could be the destination.

Fred's Ground is named after a rather large great white shark which constantly came around out there some 20 odd years ago. It measured somewhere over 6m in length and was seen very regularly by many boaties. Someone "affectionately" called the shark Fred, hence the name to this location.
This is a beauty of a spot to line up, but once there, you are guaranteed catches of a variety of fish. It posseses deep water, a broken bottom and is the visiting place for big Snapper and Sharks. Garfish are plentyfull on the surface, and schools of Tuna have been know to frequent these waters - a Mecca for the fisherman !
Hammerheads and White Pointers have also been spotted here. Whiting and Flathead are also abundant, and can be taken easily on cockles. Berleying the waters attracts the Snapper, best time to fish for them would be on the slack of the tide - when the tide turns.
This area is heavily populated by the recreational fishermen during November. A lot of boaters tend to drift over this ground to cover a wide area, then restart their engines and repeat the process.
