I think your aunt and cousin might be a little offended at you referring to them in that manner  
But those rocks in the water are shallow enough they would make for a nice casting perch 
Seriously, how far out? That beach must drop off pretty quickly.

Ya know, I was afraid that I'd use the wrong syntax. Those leviathons are within easy casting distance from where the girls are standing. Never seen them that close before. Yesterday there was one even closer grubbing the bottom with his stern high out of the water. Amazing! Today, I bet we saw 30-40 of them.

OK, with the help og www.deh.gov.au, I'll guess that they were humpbacks. V shaped blow, long pectoral fins, lumpy head, and the fluke shape. Last year at that spot, there wasn't that much water. Definately wasn't any fish. Things may have changed....Watta day! |

Just for the fun of it, here are some humpback photos I took in Alaska a few years back. Did I mention these things are about the size of a school bus!  There were about a dozen in this pod bubble net feeding on herring. The depth was about 300 feet.
