Dusted off the snorkelling gear this morning and got it all ready for season opening dive on Wednesday after work. So cant wait for a good paddle.

no problem

eyes like a hawk. Its pretty sheltered, I've never dived there with zero visibility. And a bit of murkiness makes it better for guns like me and tougher for amateur hacks, so all good really.....

There was someone crabbing in there today over at G.I.
At least he was until I mentioned it would be better not to.

Said he heard it on the radio on a local fishing program/report it was open??

I went yesterday north of woodies and it was quiet, really quiet. Looked like the place had been swept clean possibly because cockburn wasnt open yet.

I was thinking about having a go on wed either early morning or in the arvo after tafe. If you are keen for a deckie or two boat I would be down as I would be taking my boat out anyway.

Send me a msg if you want to catch up.

boating is slack!

I tend to snorkel for my crabs - that way I feel like I earn them so to speak....

 

Good luck, don't run me over!
