Squid Fishing cut short by friendly mammals

So right after badminton I had taken Jackie for him to see what squid fishing is all about, we had supper first.

High tide was 1130pm, we had gotten there about 1145 pm or so.

There was little or no waves moving at all. The moon was present however was blocked by heavy clouds. I couldn't believe how still the water was.

After about 15 casts or so, I given Jackie a try at jigging and reeling in. All of sudden we heard loud and large splashes in the sea. It was dark and took us a while to see what the noise was about, my first guess whales! All of a sudden, we literally saw hundreds of fishes 2ft or more swimming close to rocks right below us, just 1 meter away. After a couple of splashes and blow offs from their nostrils, we could see their fins, it was dolphins!!! They were rounding up this large school of fish.

We joked that if we had nets, we could just haul them up right below us.

Still curious to find out what fish they were. Too dark for videos or photos.

Here I was... fishing to the right of my favourite spot for almost an hour but to no luck. 2.5hours post high tide. 

I then decided to switch jig go back to my favourite spot as the green wasn't quite working for me. Decided to go with the expensive Yo-Zuri 3.0 rainbow jig. Time passed and no bite at all. Decided to cast further to some seaweed bed in the distance and after a few tries, no luck. Then I managed to drag something, as I was reeling it in, it felt like seaweed so I wasn't too excited, I just reeled it in without trying to break the seaweed bunch I thought, and to my astonishment, it was a whopping 465g squid at the end of the line! It was weird since I didn't feel much fight and tug from it. 

Just as I was about to call it a night, I managed to land one! Thoroughly happy with the outcome.

Oh and new PB! 465g!
