Here's a question does anyone have experience with whales putting

I can't say that whales do, but I can confirm that porpoises do.

Now I have a question or two:
On a semi nautical theme, filled the esky with good fish last
weekend.

What's an esky?

. . . we were getting double hook-ups on rainbow runner, we then hit
the bottom (150m) . . .

What's a rainbow runner?

. . . for a bash and ended up with cod . . .

If your cod is the same as our cod, cool.

Ocean bream and one rather nice red emperor.

Same question, what's an ocean bream and a red emperor?


. . . quite a few little brown soldiers died that weekend . . .

Beer of some kind, right?

I even saw a rare sight fir here, which was some VB going down.

Victoria Bitters?

There were dolphins but no whales this weekend. I actually think the
whales put the
fish off the bite as I have never had a good days fishing with them
about.

We tend to refer to dolphins, the mammal, as porpoises because we
fish for dolphin, the fish, also known as Mahi-Mahi and Dorado.

That's just wrong on so many levels.

You refer to something that is a dolphin (family delphinidae) as something
it's not (a porpoise) so you can refer to something that's not a dolphin
(mahi-mahi... aka dolphin-fish) as something it also is not (a dolphin).
