I hired the blue plannet from the library, what an awsome set that is.

How about them Bluefin. Massive.

on meat balls
John Baker from Ma Cheree in Whakatane jumped overboard and took photos of a Yellow Fin school meatballing bait from underneath. The photos are on his boat.

lalandi..... those were Painted crayfish which they have over seas they are vegetarians...... ours tend to march in a pointed arrow head fashion and even climb over each other because they are that dense in numbers......

Bushie..... both packies and spinies march here in NZ....... had a mate come across a Packhorse march and they filled the 10ft tinny up till they could not get in themselves none of these crays where under 12lb......

Dont spose anyone was watching Prime at around 1930-2000hrs last night??? there was a prog on ocean killers and they had some cool footage of crayfish doing exactly that...

Apparently when  the water cools down to a certain level they start to think about the march and when the next full moon comes they start... They walk single file non stop untill they reach their destination. It was very cool footy and it showed trigger fish (leatherjackets) attacking the crayfish that had strayed from the pack. As you can imagine they are rather vulnerable on a sandy sea bottom.

also on this programme they had the most incredable footage of Striped Marlin herding fish into a meatball. This was all under water footage and was the best I have seen. According the the programme Striped Marlin use the stripes to communicate to each other, in particular whose turn it is to charge the meatball... (hmmm... I doubt that is the primary function of the stripes, but what would I know)

surly someone else watched this last night???

I saw that TV programme - the definitely migrated. They had pictures of them walking in file - down the south island somewhere I thought (could be wrong on that .. few brain cells killed off since then).]]> Thu, 15 Jan 2004 10:08:27 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3307&PID=35905&title=marching-crayfish#35905 <![CDATA[Marching Crayfish? : In the good old days, there columns...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3307&PID=35902&title=marching-crayfish#35902 Author: Paul M

In the good old days, there columns were up to 100 meters wide in places.

The spotter planes thought it was an oil slick when they saw them.
