Narooma – Humpback Whales

On the way down to Eden, we called in at Narooma and took the boat out to Montague Island. We had been spearfishing the western side, when we spotted Humpback Whales on the South West corner.

I managed to take some footage of the commotion, however the water visibility was not good enough to see them clearly under the surface.



The whales moved further away, and we went back to spearing fish. We each had a crack at the snapper swimming around nearby. Paul and I picked up one each. The tide had increased the water level, so we ventured in close to check for crayfish. We say plenty, but only grabbed one big enough to keep.

[UPDATE] Weeks later I've seen more Humpbacks close to the coast at Dee Why. Some were around 1km out, and a single small whale closer than 100m from the surfers at Dee Why point!
