First day of season
Submitted by Gully on Wed, 2008-12-17 13:06
Managed to get a hold of these photos of a mate and myself getting into a few crays and abs for the first day of the season. Werent really trying and could have got a lot more but what we got was more than enough to feed the tribe.

oh yeah - 20 deg in the water and a howling easterly makes it a bit cooler than I like. Besides I am used to the nice warm water of the north :)

Crays
Great looking photo, but I am very wary of holding crays up for a photo. I would be pretty annoyed if was holding up a big bopper like that and he got away. I grip with all my strength until they are in the bag. Lost too many over the years.
Awesome phot though

Ok now I understand, so it
Ok now I understand, so it was the first day of western rock lobster season and being south of Busso you can free dive for abs on a saturday.
I new you could take abs everyday in the northern section but didn't no about the southern section. The 20 degree C water threw me off.
