I got back into deeper water today away from the shallows of the rocks. This weeks consistent southerly swell had eased as too the murkyness of the water. Out i went.
A large ray showed up. It was a ray i hadn’t seen for probably over 5 months. She was big. Solid. Unfazed by me coming up to her, literally not batting an eye lid. Her tail badly broken. Was this the big girl? It was definitely the biggest ray i had seen at this spot for a long while.
She gently disappeared off into the distance. With my gun in hand, i continued further out off the reef.
A moey was speared. And soon after the ray returned. Hanging around for sometime checking out the situation. Eventually, he disappeared.
