Vic Snowie Ley and myself (JH) 29 August 1963


The sizes are a lot greater than what might be seen in the area today. I'm holding a very large coral trout. Vic has a huge spotted cod.

We'd been spearing a section called The Fish Tail to help pay for the trip to Nor' West Island aboard Wally Muller's fishing boat Riversong. The catch would be filleted, frozen and sold through wholesalers.

For Snowie and I this was our first barrier reef dive trip.
