I was on a small fishing cutter out of Coffin Bay south australia, towing a small tinny (aluminium dinghy) (aluminium is the correct spelling) for some mates on the way to check crayfish pots. Out to sea the guys took off in the tinny to check their pots, and our boat set long lines and we did some rod fishing further away while waiting.
When the others came back to the cutter, we had a small 'pirate' war, they threw old stinking bait at us and we threw some back at them while we were steaming along in the cutter. As the bait ran out they circled us closer and closer landing some good hits, but they forgot how fast the cutter was traveling.
They came in very close for more hits - a bit too close, and coming across our bow we hit them and ran over the tinny sinking it and they jumped out worried but laughing - everyone was cracking up. But you should have seen their faces change when someone mentioned sharks and they started to panic to get on the cutter asap, since rotten bait doesn't just attract fish and crays. We dragged the tinny back to port while they bailed it out, and all arrived safely and in good humour.
They dented their boat, drowned their outboard motor, and lost crayfish and pots and nearly all their gear.
That was a day none of us will ever forget.
