Another epic day of searching. Summer is almot upon us. water temp still 22C average but did show 23C occasionally. Tenellia sp. 23 was out in force. Some nice finds, but not to be excluded, was a large sea horse found in the river! WOW! This is only the third sighting on the Coast that I know of. I wonder what else we will find in this great river?
