Just back from a diving trip to the Poor Knights. I've put a few clips of the highlights together. I think the last clip will be of most interest to anglers!

thanks. the kingfish were at 30 metres. they were very excitable, almost swimming in to me. i had a metal clip on my equipment which drove them nuts when i "pinged" it!
not sure if you can tell from the video, but all of those fish were well over a metre in length

Wow! Awesome footage, makes you realize how much we (sometimes) underestimate how much is going on down there

Glad to see you are putting that Hero3 to good use. Great vid. Those kings must have been running into you.
Been a while since I have dived the Poor Knights.

I know some people hate the no take areas but to me, they do help to protect the fish and its awesome to visit such beautiful areas.
