Crays from shore :)
Submitted by J_doggy on Sat, 2011-12-17 12:38
Took advantage with the <1m swell, low tide and calm winds for a dive from shore at a usually nasty sort of a spot.
Anyway, a few tarantula's about, only 3 males kept with females with berries out numbering the males 5:1.
Didn't get more than 4 meters down, vis at around 6-8m, was awesome :)
Wine bottle and dive tank for comparison (bragging rights)!

The middle one was the most
The middle one was the most challenging physically - he really didn't want to come out of his ledge.
The large one was a bit more docile, but needed more finesse. Bugger nearly drowned me ripping my regs out of my mouth then giving me a bear hug. Then came the time to put him in my catch bag, he did't really fit and wasn't happy about going in there either. I was only about 15m from shore where i plucked him out from so swam in and called it a day after that :)
Christmas lunch and probably dinner sorted, it's also my first dive of the season so i'm over the moon. WOOT

Thats a beast of a cray

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.
