It's great when there is wildlife in the surf. At the time, I thought these fish were kahawai, but the stripes don't look right.

Watching

17/3/2017

 
Picture
This octopus was interested in the GoPro camera at first but I easily kept it out of reach and by the second day it didn't bother about it at all. It happily came out to feed and chased the shrimps and triplefin fishes away from the food by waving its arms. It investigated my feet a couple of times but grew bored with me after a week of daily visits. It readily took any shellfish I cracked for it but when I tried feeding it pieces of fresh fish, it initially took them but then gave them back a few minutes later.
