Steep point illegals

Well i just got back from shelter bay (steep point). Talk about blowin its tits off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Managed to get out a few days and get a few snapper Talk about right place at right time with my good camera! Well on thursday we were at camp sitting around having a yarn when i seen a landcruiser hammering throughh the dunes closly followed by police . I was thinkin " Woah! a pusuit!!! 10 min later i see this old boat coming into the south passage. 5 min later i see a airforce orion swoop down and get about 50-100 ft above it. The poice and customs came up the beach to us and ask if out dingy was ready to go if needs be haha. Must of going to borrow it haha. 20 min later a big tri hull cat came hammering up and got against it and stopped them. They towed it into shelter bay were it was out of the wind and chop. Made for some great shots for the last few days :)

More pics to come...

Excellent pic's Marc.

 Imagine the pic's if the Orion had of blown it outof the water.Surprised

And someone should let the police officer it is illegal to drive with your elbow or any part of your body out the window.

And the fish pic's are where...........

Cheers Mick

Enjoy that $200 mate, with camera gear like that it ain't gonna go far. How's the zoom on your lens, you almost got mug shots of some of the poor bastards! Maybe customs will shell out some coin too?Laughing

Good thinkin about customs. I might ring em aswell and se if they want some pics $$$$$$$

Neander : Fishing camped at shelter bay was not really my scene. I rather steep point cliffs etc. Thats the real "steep point " experience. Dragging fish up the side of the cliff is exciting and hardcore

Look at  where the scum line is on the boat

Its sitting quite high out of the water, now 

They would have been sitting offshore and come in the dark. Certain properties of the  boat make it harder to locate by radar.

Didnt a foreign boat drop a crap load of cocaine in parcels in the same local area?

 

Its nice to know yet a again some recreational fishers spotted potential disease carrying individuals attempting to enter the country, once again.

Wouldnt want to lock em out would ya. Cool

Pity customs didn't send a couple of warning shots in just about 6 inches below the water line.
funny how they made it so far down the coast customs called us up about every two days when we where sailling my mates yacht from Darwin back to Broome.

Wishin I was fishin and only 500k's to the water..
