Dawesville crabbing session today
Merry Christmas to everyone
In upholding the family tradition of doing a spot of crabbing on Christmas day, Team Gates launched the tinny from the Dawesville ramp around 10.30am and headed across the estuary to find some shelter from the easterly winds.
From 6 pulls of our 3 dropnets, we scored 2 sized crabs! Besides 1 being 1mm undersize, everything else was at least 10mm undersize. Even a spot of snorkeling didn't add to our catch....not that we saw too many, but the ones we saw were quite small. The encouraging aspect is that we'll have something to look forward to in the coming weeks/month as these undersize ones grow bigger.
The sun was shining, the water was nice for a dip and the family was all together...what more could you ask for.
I'm guessing the kid on the tube being towed round and around and around behind his dad's boat was having a great time on his Chrissy present!!
Have a great day
