    Best session I have had was at White Island late last year where packs of good kings were tailing on the surface then scrapping each other to get the lure first.

    Running an old saltiga expedition with 80lb hollowcore.

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

Pilli poppers and the rattle ones would bring them up in packs some days. I would sit at the old stone jetty under the Mount catching piper for these missions too. This was many moons ago though when the Mount was a much quieter place.
