I have a story of something a friend and i saw which was unbelievable particularly at the time but have been ribbed so much over it over the years we don't speak of it any more unless just between the two of us over beers.

Haven't you blokes heard about the infamous "Marlin Bay" up far norf?...here at certain times of the year they come right into the shallows and gorge themselves on spawning mullet. Some locals find the ones too full to swim away floating damn near belly up and haul them up on the beach.

Nope. Have had the sighting coaxed out a couple of times for the same result.. Does make you wonder what other people have seen and just keep quiet. If people can't comprehend their most commen response is to call you a lair. Not nice and there are some stronger characters on this site so I can only imagine the response.
