Coff's Harbour


     Welcome to (Fish) Tails from Down Under....  I am just getting settled in Coff's Harbour and wanted to start with a few pictures.  I will begin work at the National Marine Science Center on Monday January 16th, so more to come after that!





 Coff's Creek before it flows into the harbour.









Walking on the jetty...  Lots of fishermen fishing directly off of this jetty.  Looking into the water you could see schools of little fish just off the rocks and watch them take the fishermen's bait.  I talked to a few of the fishermen and they said they were fishing for mullet fish and were using some type of white fish for bait.  Most of the mullet fish they caught were about 6 to 8 inches in length and they were catching a lot of them!  Before I left they threw a few pieces of white bread in the water so I could watch the schools of fish go crazy for the bread!







Gummy rattle snakes instead of gummy worms!
