- On the day I filmed this I had intended to film another site, but the wind and current were making it difficult, so I drove to a more protected area at the Woodman Point boat launch. As I walked out along the launching jetty to see if the conditions were better, I noticed some large fish darting around in the shallows.
A man approached me and handed me his fishing rod, suggesting I cast out to see what happened. I flicked the little jelly lure out, and immediately hooked a fish. I fought with it for a couple of minutes before bringing it alongside the jetty and landing it, a decent sized salmon and most likely the largest fish I'd ever caught. The rod owner and his friends had been about to launch their boat before noticing a school of salmon hunting baitfish in the marina, and were pulling them in almost as quickly as they could cast out.
After taking care of my fish, I put the ROV in the water to see if I could capture any more of the feeding frenzy. The video I captured was fantastic, schools of baitfish trying to evade the salmon as they darted around in their frenzy, and at one point, even stalking the ROV for a few moments as if wondering whether they could eat it. A school of blue-eyed puffer fish seemed fascinated by the ROV, at least until the prospect of food elsewhere in the frenzy caught their attention.
Deep Dark Perth is a series of short videos exploring underwater landmarks and environments in and around Perth, Western Australia, filmed using a Gladius ROV in 4k.
