Crabbing the night away
Well last night I headed down to "Secret Spot X" with the lads to pick up some tastey treats and get some exercise wading the shallows. The forecast was for some wind during the beginning of the night so out came the mega prawn light. It's so much easier to see things with a light under the water when theres chop instead of trying to shine your light through it.
2 x Prinecton Tech Shockwave LED dive lights = 800 lumens of power! Rigged up on a shovel handle for easy manouvering. Works a treat!
Weapons of choice when it comes to the crabs!
Well the forecast was right and it was pretty windy and the water was really murky until we got out further, but it wasn't long until things turned on!
Double header of nice sizers!
The beers were quickly replaced with crabs. Lots of crabs!!! It didn't take too long (4 hours.. time flys when you're having fun!) to all get our limit (many mouths to feed!) so we left them biting until next time. The size is definately bigger now with the average being over 140mm. Still plenty of undersize ones around too. Things are looking healthy! Also got a few small prawns to tickle the taste buds!
Mmmm tastey!!!
Rallying the troops for dinner! Come along now!
My share of the bounty. It's good times to be able to head out and get a feed of some of the tastiest sea creatures around right on our doorstep! 0 ten is going to be a good year!

yep definately mandurah! lots of places to go crabbing there, we got a nice little spot that we're yet to see anyone else at ever. Might do with the fact you have to walk forever to get there.
